So here's an open ended one that I think about a lot...
What is the role of art in our faith? Whether it be music, film, painting, photography, graphic design, or whatever else you consider art.
Do these benefit our faith? Do they ever hurt our faith?

The Formula
Normally I hate applying formulas to a relationship because relationships are just way too liquid to make a formula work. However, I came across one that I really like, and that makes a lot of sense.
We've been talking about the Fruit of the Spirit in youth group, and talking about love, I came across this thought:
The amount of love in our life is directly related to the amount of God in our life.
Now it's hard to quantify that, but in generalities I really think it holds true. The amount of love we have for people is so closely tied to how our relationship with God is doing. If we're close to God, we'll have a more loving attitude, but as we get farther away from God, that love significantly decreases and lasts for shorter amounts of time.
Do you agree with this? I think it it makes sense, but what do you think?
