Should Christians Be Concerned With Artistic Beauty?

Apr 24 2023 38 mins  
Why are truth and beauty set at odds with each other in the Christian community? It is human nature to be attracted to beautiful things, beautiful places, and beautiful people.

Some Christians believe there is nothing good to be found in the “secular” world and remove themselves from it, while othe
