As an artist who has been allowed to paint during worship in our church since June of last year 2007, I think there is a aspect of the arts that is being missed. God has brought forth some pretty awesome art that on my own I could never paint. I am just as awed at what I paint as well as the congregation.
Art adds another level of dimention to the worship and much of the time a picture comes forth depicting the message brought forth by the speaker. Many times some one or more of the congregation will come to me afterward to tell me the painting was a picture God gave them during prayer before service or sometime during the week.
My suggestion is don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. After all what you think won't work is proving it does work and people are effected along with the word.
here is a link to my work. Judge for yourself.

It's really too bad adults have to be so petty and childish. What's it going to take to get people to grow up and act like adults? Ive always admired and respected Barbara but I'm afraid not anymore when she shows disrespect for Mr President Bush and Laura over such pettiness,
