Vision
If we are made in the image of God, and if He is the creator of the universe, the source of all life and all things good, then we are meant to create too. And those creations need to be shared because we can all reflect aspects of His love and beauty to each other, and in so doing, we can know Him better, and all the while, know to each other better and therefore love each other more. So let's create and share!
We are God's poetry:
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship (poeima), created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
Ephesians 2:8-10
