Fight the Calf

Once upon a time, a nation called Israel was freed from slavery by a God simply known as “I Am”. This one true God spoke to a man named Moses up on a mountainside giving him a new vision for his people. While he was there, this nation decided to build a golden calf to worship as their god. Knowing what they were doing, “I Am” gave Moses this idea:

“See, I have chosen Bezalel… and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts- to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship…to make everything I have commanded you.”(Exodus 31:1-11 excerpts)

God gave man the gift of creativity: art, music, beauty... Many people want to worship the gift of their hands; they want to worship their intrinsic golden calf. But God has beckoned us to something different. He wants to use the amazing beauty we create to build His dwelling place… to build His kingdom… to build the house where He can interact with mankind.
