Robert Fripp circa 1979 FRIPPERTRONICS

Christians should celebrate brilliance as sparks emanating from the "imago dei" (the image of God) in people regardless of where they are found. Of course, this doesn't include sparks that tie themselves to vain/defiled/satanic reasonings or imagery. Far too many Christians excuse things that celebrate the very sins that our LORD died to defeat simply because they have some "redemptive" aspect that falls into the Philippians 4:8 rubric of having, for example, excellence of technique. Pretty or candy-coated poison remains poison and should be eschewed. .

But on the other side of the coin, just because something isn't overtly "Christian" or is created by a non-Christian or even an anti-Christian (not to say anything about Robert Fripp's personal beliefs -- of which we have no idea) doesn't mean that we shouldn't enjoy or even celebrate it. Quite the contrary, not only are we unnecessarily denying ourselves some of the proper joys this world has to offer -- we cut ourselves off from a world that the LORD would have us interact with to, among other things, seek to understand, love and win.

So while it might not be your cup of tea, Robert Fripp is ours. Good stuff, son of Adam.
