Heart of Art



"For our understanding I have phrased the term “Art” as “Developing and applying God given talents, skills and gifts in the best way or manner for His glory.”... God in His Sovereign wisdom uses all the five terms together in Exodus 31:1-5, Wisdom (“Chokmah” in Hebrew), Understanding (“Tebunah”), knowledge (“Daath”), all manner of workmanship (Skill) and Spirit of God (Gifts) which is the first among all. The Lord’s expectation was to make Bezalel as an “expert” (MSG) because he needs to devise everything skilfully. The expectation on a believer is the same and even much more in this New Testament Church (Ephesians 4: 7-13, MSG).

In this article I bring biblical perspectives to the art of mentoring, giving, preaching, witnessing, leading and administering." writes Dr. Ashok Kumar (Director of Missions, GEMS) in this article in The CALL.
