Here is the challenge, I believe, for the Christian artist

“Here is the challenge, I believe, for the Christian artist, in whatever sphere: to tell the story of the new world so that people can taste it and want it, even while acknowledging the reality of the desert in which we presently live.”

@ntwrightonline from his book “Surprised by Scripture”

Admittedly, I haven’t read this book but this quote challenging, uplifting, and frustratingly difficult. I think sometimes we can spend so much time cursing the sun and the sand without talking about the water that sustains us. I pray I can do that. 🙏🏻

Aaaaand there’s another book added to a *long* list of books I could never hope to finish. 🤦🏻‍♂️
