In addition to worship, the Creative Arts are a mighty weapon in the arsenal of God. Sacred arts are a special ministry that God
is using to help usher in the end time harvest of souls and in order to be effective in our outreach efforts we must use wisdom and
creativity in our evangelistic efforts. Prov 11:30, 1 Cor 9:22
Why God chooses to include the instruments of dancing, singing, shouting, flags, clapping, tambourines, harps, banners, drama, mime,
and marching in His mighty arsenal of weapons and incorporate these tools as an integral part of the total worship experience is
because God is sovereign and creative.
Our assignment is to be obedient to His commands, surrender to His will and purpose for our lives by living holy lives, and allow our
bodies, minds, spirits, and souls to be used and instruments for His glory!
