Comments from Dean Sherman

God is a creator. The devil is a destroyer. God is light. The devil is
darkness

God is the source of all that creates order, beauty, light and fulfillment.
The enemy takes what has been created, destroys, confuses, deceives and
brings bondage.

This is why the ARTS are at the forefront of the spiritual battle for
society and the dignity of humans. The original performance of God was to
bring light into darkness, and beauty into chaos. This was done by
declaring verbally "Let there be______" and by the power of his spirit to
bring forth expression of truth, of his nature and character in what was
made. God fought the darkness, by replacing it with light. Every time we
create artistic expression that reveals what is true, fulfilling and
dignified, darkness is displaced. This lifts up all that is attractive
about God, (we call it glory) and people hunger to experience it and live
in it.

Our mandate from our founder is to bring Good News, to heal and to drive
out demons. By expressing who God is in nature and character, by expressing
how man and society can live in love, generosity, dignity and serving (this
is kingdom coming), we accomplish the mandate, because light and truth
comes, man is healed from his broken image and limitations, and demonic
lies and bondage are pushed back.

Express the light and beauty of truth and God. People will be attracted and
desire to come into relationship with Him. Overcome that which destroys, by
declaring what true freedom and fulfillment is.
