Why aren't Christians more creative?
This question was raised on a blog that I read occasionally, and I've been wondering about this since I read that post. It seems that Christian media, entertainment, etc. takes its cues straight from popular culture. I think the intent is to be "relevant," but the result is nothing less than cheesy. We serve the creator of creativity and this is what we come up with:
or this:
or my personal favorite, the musical stylings of Apologetix (Sorry, Joel, I know you like them):
However I did find this t-shirt:
I know that our purpose in life isn't to reach some special level of creativity, and I am certainly not trying to say that all Christians lack creativity. David Crowder is an excellent example of a creative Christian. And all of these mentioned things have their place and have served many people, I'm sure. I just wonder if we, as a whole, are resting on pop culture so much that we aren't using all that we have been given. Questions? Comments? Insults?

That apologetix video was AWESOME! By the way, I've been busting out the Celtic Wonder CD I have and it's making me want to buy some Celtic style Praise music.
Anyways, for the most part, I agree with you. The world is not impressed, although I really like Apologetix. By the way, do you think I should send in that parody I made to them, the one of the Toby Keith song?
