Beauty
“Genesis 3:6 “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes…” God is not just utilitarian. He is also an artist. He creates beauty pleasant to the eyes. Creation not only gives us food and resources for life but beauty for the soul. We cannot afford to underestimate the power of art to feed the soul with beauty. Christians are like trees. Our congregations, churches, music, preaching should be ‘pleasant’ to the eyes, ears and soul of people everywhere. The idea the church should be austere, ascetic is wrong. Hardly anyone remembers Savonarola and his ‘bonfires of the vanities’, but everyone in the world recognises the enduring witness of Michelangelo’s ‘Sistene Chapel’ ceiling and Da Vinci’s ‘Last Supper’ (considered ‘vanities’ by religionists). God’s thumbprint in creation is ‘beauty’, something man can never match! See you in beautiful glorious church!“ – Phil Pringle, Beauty, http://philpringle.com/_blog/Phil_Pringle_Blog/post/Beauty/, 27/10/2009. (Accessed 13/05/2012)

PHIL PHIL PHIL PHIL PHIL PHIL PHIL,,,,,,,,,NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.It was satans deceitful trick PHIL.Does Phil believe that God is a serpent.
PHil elevates art in the eyes of the sheeple so that they will be stupid enough to buy it.He almost goes as far as to sell it with a ‘special anointing’!
The more I read Phil’s stuff here, the more I like his message. It wasn’t satan’s tree! If anything it was God’s test. One of His steps along the way to redeeming His creation. Adam and Eve could have enjoyed the perfect garden but God gave them a free will, which satan exploited (he always does). Trees are things of beauty because God made them.
