of the DIVE school, a unique environment
where creatives can be encouraged to pursue
cultural arts alongside the importance of “pure
intention”. What’s noteworthy to me about this
is the word “intention”. The intention of our
hearts is often overlooked by our ourselves and
our peers, but God is all about intention and the
intent of our hearts. It’s the intent of our hearts
that gives our worship offerings “rightness”.
What are your thoughts on this?
[Rita] I think its all about intention, I think Jesus
didn’t come without intention, He didn’t create
the world without intention. He had an idea, He
had a dream, He had a plan, and then He was
infused by the Father to accomplish everything
in the New Testament. Then God infuses man
to actually want to follow those intentions in the
Old Testament promising the Son the whole
time and promising that the intention of the Son
coming will redeem the whole world. Again it’s
that mimic, that hands and feet of Jesus type
of thing where, I guess if I had the grit that I
find myself not having quite as easily is, if we
say that we believe in a God that is so extra
ordinary but we are not willing to have intention
with whatever it is we do or say in His name,
then I don’t know that we really carry the true
belief of what we say it is that we believe. It’s
got to get in your bones, and if it doesn’t get
in your bones it’s not intention, it’s just acting.
If I have a worry or a deep groaning for the
church at large, it’s that I think sometimes our
need to fulfill people’s Christianity awareness or
to find the lost is we do it thinking we have true
intention and what were building is the edifice
of program and curriculum. We try to fascinate
baby Christians with a crib mobile while they’re
in the crib of learning.
