Gospel Prism

Ok, this has nothing to do with the Gospel, or does it? Whether we eat or drink or even take pictures, we can do it for the Lord’s glory (1 Cor 10:31). So the question in mind is, “How slow can you handhold a camera and maintain sharpness?” Bob Atkins has a good article on it.

But what can I think of in taking pictures and doing it for the Lord’s glory?

1. I have freedom in the Gospel to take pictures without feeling guilt that I am wasting my time. (John 8:36)

2. The objects of my picture-taking can lead me to worship the Lord because of His good creation (Rom 1:20)

3. God has graciously provided me the camera and equipment to take pictures. But He surely didn’t have to do this. I am not owed this camera. He has graciously given me His own Son. You can’t get better than that. (Rom 8:32)

4. May I never treasure my equipment more than the Lord. If it should ever be stolen, lost, or broken, I will be content to have everything or nothing (Phil 4:11).

5. God has created everything good, and even photography I can enjoy as a part of His good creation (1 Tim 4:4).
