Taking a look around

“The utopian landscapes that many of us watch on the screen or hang on our walls are visualizations of ideal omega worlds.”

I found Cobb’s discussion of Thomas Kinkade, the “Painter of Light” to be very interesting. Despite not being well acclaimed by other artists, his work is the most collected work of any living artist. Clearly, people have a desire for this image of the “peaceable kingdom”, a final place of tranquility and joy. Perhaps Kinkade taps into a deep need that may people feel for both temporal and eternal peace. How can we use this inner desire to effectively share about the true peace that is only found in Christ. What can we learn from Kinkade?
