I can relate to your post. I come from an artsy family of artist musicians, poets, writers, and visual artist. For the most part the bulk of the Church looks down on the arts, with the minority supporting the arts, that is being strongly used by God.
The arts is an avenue of communication. God desires much to communicate through this means via his gifted children. Before the Lord saved me, I was a visual artist backed by the National Foundation of the Arts. Before Christ I did some demonic art, which was the fruit of the Devil's work in my life.
After I was saved a new spirit started to work in me, the Holy Spirit.
From within through the power of Christ's Cross,a and resurrection, I was made into a new creation. My art took a totally different direction. The Lord began to speak through my work. Men were drawing near to God though what he was saying through the art.
Unfortunately the art system that trained me were offended at what was going on and they with drew their support.
That was over twenty years ago. From that time until now. God has periodically opened doors...
