It is through Christ that God extends to us His mercy, to give us the opportunity to avoid condemnation. The Lord invites us to use our gifts and talents worthily and He will sustain our efforts by His grace and mercy.
Bearing the "Good Fruit"
Not all artists are called to the sacred arts. Not all artists are called to work in religious themes. But all artists are called to recognize that their gifts are given to them for a purpose beyond self-indulgent navel-gazing. All artists are called to “bear good fruit” through the use of their gifts.
