Welcome to Issue I of "Edge of Faith", as we begin our journey to explore great art, movies, short stories, music, historical tidbits, global awareness and a biblical worldview of art and culture. Our quest is to provide you with the thoughtful imaginations of the visual artist, the theological examinations of the poet, the heart for God poured out by the author, the idea of Shalom from the Father and the need of his hands and feet to move His Word and desire around the globe. To move church and art closer to one another and open the expanse of the creations seeds of creativity provided by the Father.

In Genesis 1:28 it states:

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth

It is our command from God to continue to develop His creation.

Being created by God means we are the created, not
