There are so many ways that churches can utilize visual art. Videos and photographs are amazing ways to showcase the wonder and majesty of creation as well as share the gospel message with a world that is full of visual people. Through His creation, God has introduced humans to a world of beauty and artistry, Christians should strive to find and show that beauty to the world.
