I was surfing through some blogs earlier and found this really interesting quote from Colossians Three Sixteen. It’s from a book by Mark Driscoll placed in a discussion weaving across a couple sites and books. The discussion took a brief look at fundamentalism’s tendency to reject contemporary culture. There was a short paragraph addressing the arts. I liked the thought, so here it is:
It’s admittedly difficult to move beyond just throwing rocks at culture but it is a worthwhile process. It’s not enough to just point out all of the problems with the arts when we’re not putting anything positive forward. It’s not enough to poke holes in people’s worldviews when we’re not shining the light of the Gospel through the openings. It’s not enough to throw rocks when we could be building.
