You and I are stymied in our own creativity. We can only create as sub-creators, and even then our best work is only sub-creation.

If we confuse the gospel with response to the gospel, we will drift from what keeps the gospel on the ground, what makes it clear and personal, and the next thing you know, we will be doing a bunch of different things that actually obscure the gospel, not reveal it.
