Just a Quick Note to Ponder
In my Theology, Worship and Art class we talked about the connection between art and prophecy. I am purposely choosing not to elaborate on this because I want people to draw their own conclusions. We also talked about the prophets as practicing some of the earliest forms of performance art in order to bring about change (including John the Baptist).

Oh my goodness! You are absolutely right! That must be why we don't hear very many sermons based upon prophetic symbolism. It's just to "graphic" for the average congregation--all those dirty rags, tipped over bowls, ripped clothes, lying on one's side for weeks while people pass by and gawk...hmmmmm.
"Thunder in the desert!"
