Let your favor shine on your servant.
    In your unfailing love, rescue me.
17 Don’t let me be disgraced, O Lord,
    for I call out to you for help.
Let the wicked be disgraced;
    let them lie silent in the grave.[a]
18 Silence their lying lips—
    those proud and arrogant lips that accuse the godly. Psalm 31:16-18

What do you do when you are accused?

Christian Art quotes #1

“Obedience is an unpopular word nowadays, but the artist must be obedient to the work, whether it be a symphony, a painting, or a story for a small child. I believe that each work of art, whether it is a work of great genius or something very small comes to the artists and says, ‘Here I am. Enflesh me. Give birth to me.’ And the artists either says, ‘My soul doth magnify the Lord,’ and willingly becomes the bearer of the work or refuses…” Madeleine L’Engle, Walking On Water p. 10
