**Levels of Art

        Look at the artists of the world, they make films, write songs, present concerts and shows, do paintings, sculptures, etc. Here are the various levels of their works. At the lowest level are the works that are blasphemous, offensive to God, or pure evil. Next level up we have works that are worldly and impure; they are not from the Lord for sure. On the next higher level are works that are more of less neutral'; the may be clean and attractive, but don't really uplift you spiritually. Then we have impressive works that are inspiring and more spiritual, but not pointing to God specifically. At the highest level are works that actually inspire and draw people to God. Since our God is a specific person, the God of Christ, any work that does not point to him cannot be fully meaningful.
