On Christian Coloring Books

A Christian coloring book is worthwhile if it simply presents interesting art or inspiring words. But when it becomes a form of spirituality, it has crossed a line.

NewWhat do we say, then....

….to Bach, who viewed composing music as a way to worship God, or artists and authors who do the same? I would agree with Challies if he merely had said a lot of it was dreck, and that those who use it will tend to absorb that lesson, I’d be good, but I can’t go as far as to say that there is nothing spiritual going on.

(oh, who am I kidding….y’all know I just finished coloring Judges 4 and Psalm 137 in my coloring book! Anybody got an extra red crayon I can borrow?)

What we really need are coloring books for Revelation 14-19 (“the smoke rises up forever”).

You guys be spiritual and color in the Psalms. I’m sticking with something a little more germane to our version of ‘Fundamentalism’:

"Our task today is to tell people — who no longer know what sin is...no longer see themselves as sinners, and no longer have room for these categories — that Christ died for sins of which they do not think they’re guilty." - David Wells
