Sistine Chapel - Michelangelo


Johann Wolfgang Goethe (23 August 1787) once wrote, “Without having seen the Sistine Chapel, one can form no appreciable idea of what one man is capable of achieving.” Michelangelo's work on the ceiling of the chapel was done mostly between 1508 – 1512. His entire body of work on the chapel contains of 5000 feet of frescoes. This body of work stands tall as being the work of one of the most renowned masters of art.

Our lives are God's great artwork. For the majority of the worlds working population, the work we do on a daily basis is all too mundane for us to consider it a great master piece. Yet every business, industry and economy is driven by the little parts that form the wheels that drive the world today.

It is when we learn to worship in the midst of the mundane that God is truly exalted, for our true purpose in life is not success, but to worship God!
