In an age dominated by technology, in which efficiency and profit often take precedence, it is so important that we continue to cultivate a spirit of contemplation and allow time and space for beauty. Such an attitude will greatly help humanity, especially young people, to discover the ability of art to uplift and reveal the depths of the human spirit and our openness to the divine. Contemplation presents a marvelous opportunity to encounter the God who is Beauty.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Overwhelmed by life’s demands? Remember, your heavenly Father knows your needs and will provide when the time is best. Today on Solid Joys, John Piper reassures us from Matthew 6:31–34 that God’s provision is deliberate and just in time. desiringgod.org/articles/7-r…

This year marks the 1700 year anniversary of the birth of the Nicene Creed. This beautiful statement of faith has made its way down through the centuries, and it mustn’t stop with us. It reminds us of important truths - and it helps us link arms with both the historic and the global church. The Nicene Creed has been voiced in many different ways and on this 1700 year anniversary, my friends @cityalight and I wanted to add one more version to the mix. OUT NOW - ‘The God We Love (Nicene Creed)’.
