Through digital design, Christian creative Mark Taylor creates visual expressions of worship and truth to share the Gospel. He’s one of the co-founders of the website Inspiks.com, a community of Christian digital artists dedicated to using their talents to bring praise to God and inspire others.

In a recent interview with the website Best Christian Design, (another great site displaying digital design) Mark spoke about the potential of the visual arts, specifically digital design and communications, in spreading the Word:

“The ability to interpret scripture with art is done with great passion, because I know that the ideas are given by God and it is a great way for me to spread the message of the Gospel…. I think Graphics and Web design is playing a more integral part in the ministering of the gospel today. Churches are realizing the importance of Church marketing and branding and translating that to the web. The web can be looked at now as a tool, rather than just a showcase of the churches ministries…

“I think there are various ways that Christians can use the Internet to spread the Gospel. I think there are some great examples out there right now, for example blogging, the use of Twitter and Flickr, It is just a matter of being lead by the spirit, finding your passion and a target audience. Christians have the greatest target audience…the world!” – Mark Taylor of Inspiks.com, in an interview with BestChristianDesign.com. (Click here to read the rest of the interview).

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse. Romans 1:20 (KJV)

Commentary:
Why should we, as Christians, continue to believe in the Genesis accounts of creation? We grow up in a society that teaches us about evolution and that the world began from one big cosmic bang and that our ultimate origins are from cosmic dust that fell from space to the earth and formed a primordial soup which eventually, over millions of years, formed all life here on earth. Some Christians believe that the evolutionary process may have been used by God in His creative process. Some have started to blend both ideas, but God did not proclaim in His word, that He used such processes to create anything. Human beings are born with the innate sense of discovery, we want to know how the entire universe and the earth came to be, how it all began?, why we are here? & who made us? Why is that? The book of Acts answers that question very clearly:… ~ Mark Taylor
