“A dissection of music perception and creation that starts slowly and inexorably builds to a grand finish. I loved reading that listening to music coordinates more disparate parts of the brain than almost anything else--and playing music uses even more!

“Furthermore, consider that as one of its most important purposes, stewardship of creation should sustain nature's worshiping capacity. The more I reflect on Scriptures and the more I sense how God thrills to the adoration He receives from all that He has created, the more I realize He has given us the awesome responsibility of caring for His creation so that it can go on praising Him until the end of time.” ShouldImportantEndsPurposeGivenRealizingResponsibilityCreationGoes OnCapacityPraiseEnvironmentalCaringScriptureEnd TimesStewardshipAdoration Author:Tony Campolo
“. . . what humanity most desperately needs is not the creation of new worlds but the recreation in terms of human comprehension of the world we have -- and it is for this reason that arts go on for generation to generation in spite of the fact that Phidias has already carved and Homer has already sung. The creation, we are informed, was accomplished in seven days with Sunday off, but the recreation will never be accomplished because it is always accomplished anew for each generation of living men.” MenWorldNeedsHumansArtReasonFactsHumanityTermGenerationsCreationGoes OnSevenAccomplishedSpiteSundayNew WorldComprehensionRecreationSeven DaysPhidias Author:Archibald MacLeish
