thoughts on creativity

I have been reading a book by a friend Mark Cullen lately and loved this little list about the principles creativity...

- We are created "in the image" of a creative God. Our creativity is a gift from Him
- All people have a capacity for truth, goodness, beauty and creativity
- These capacities can and should be cultivated
- The proper use of our creativity glorifies God
- God-glorifying creativity reflects truth, beauty, and order
- Creativity and beauty exist to glorify God
- Creativity is not inherently good or evil, it can be used as a tool for either.
- Creativity, like love, requires expression. In fact, it exists only in expression
- The expression of creativity, like truth, goodness and beauty, needs no justification
- Beauty is valuable to God regardless of utility
