I am a creative...but I don't make music. I have the rest of the creative personality traits though...
I'm actually quite a conservative, I have a deep connection to the long stream of western society that forms my roots, and I feel confronted by the current philosophies, particularly secular humanism, that threatens to further destroy what remains of the spiritual fabric of the people I love.

You've inspired me to write come blogs.. please read and give me your ear, however please be gentle in correction. I will be expressing things I am still going through in my head.
We can only transform society for the better if we are fully transformed ourselves, as individuals. The kingdom is like the smallest of mustard seeds...
macro-level transformationalism bothers me as it could easily lead to legalism rather than grace.
Sorry I took so long to get back to you. Things to do, peoples to subdue.
Is it more important to live well and love, or preach the gospel? (edited for grammar)
The first problem with the question is that it implies an either/or situation - that to preach the gospel necessarily exludes living righteously, and vice versa. Naturally, this is not the case. Since we agree that hear and responding correctly to the Gospel is the only way to avoid the natural consequences of sin and broken life (Death), ensure as many know and understand it as possible is a natural outworking of loving (not to mention is necessary to live righteously, as it is following an order from God)
That said, the whole point of the Gospel is that there is a new way to live - one that isn't steeped in sin. That is, the Gospel is that Christ gives us New Life - the ability to live righteously and love truly. Therefore, if I were forced for an answer, I would say living well and loving were the 'more important' of the two, as in it consists the point of the gospel preached, and the reason for preaching it.
However, the two matters are not mutually exclusive, and there is only point in asking this question for negociating particularly complex and irregular moral problems.
