All too often, I meet artists with God given talents who compromise their Christian beliefs in order to "re-invent" themselves. I notice that some artists will sing songs of promiscuity, gyrate to sounds of vulgarity, drink and smoke and when they receive awards and accolades, they "thank God" for making their dreams come true. It's a shame because they seem to think that the fame and fortune they've received is somehow from God.
I hope I don't come across as angry person because I'm not. As a musician and a painter, when I create music or paint a picture, not only do I ask myself if it is pleasing to me, but is it pleasing to my Father. Will it inspire my brothers and sisters or will it bring them down? I just have a hard time understanding how some artists can reconcile their Christian beliefs and their art at the same time.
