Considering answers to those faith-questions we all ask…

John begins by describing, "That which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched...". Just as he opened his gospel-in extreme reverence and worship, not of a group or movement of disciples or followers, but of one person only- so John lifts up the name of Jesus.
I first shared these song lyrics about ten years ago, but actually the song was written over forty years ago - evidence that some things just don't change.

The question of whether abstract art has a place in the Christian world came up in a discussion I had recently.

When I first imagined the following scene, I saw my favorite vocalist Jon Anderson, co-founding member of the band "Yes", being eternally lost and ashamed at the judgment seat of Christ. I saw his life's work being as being of no positive consequence because of his apparently universalist view of God, and because of his rejection of Jesus Christ as lord and savior. However, as I thought more about his heart, his life, and the testimony of much of his amazing music, and when I considered the mercy of God, I realized that he is not yet lost: the God who is Love has not given up on him. The following dialogue is how I prefer, hope and pray for his appearance at the throne to transpire.
