Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

I am Daniel Valles, the director of Art of Logic, currently based in Shelby, Alabama. My burden for ministry is in the area of Christian discipleship in matters of doctrine and rightly dividing the Word of God.  As part of this ministry, it is my desire to teach Christians how to think critically and avoid accepting error whether in daily life, practice, ministry, or doctrine.

With a degree and background in Advertising and Public Relations (2002), I have a unique perspective in identifying means of communication and propaganda that, while largely used in the secular arena to convince or persuade, are being used to deceive Christians away from solid doctrine and living for God. It is my desire that this ministry will help edify and exhort Christians to live for God, first and highest above all. Part of that discipleship is the encouraging others to exercise their senses to discern between good and evil, and to make righteous judgments, not based on appearances.

Having worked in various ministries for over a decade in writing Bible studies, devotionals, essays,  and applications of Christian living, as well as Creation science, it is vital that all Christian realize and actualize that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. As we develop and grow in our walk with God, He grants wisdom and understanding. This ministry is devoted toward helping young people develop their mind as a steward of God, so that as they mature, they can then serve God not just will all their heart and soul, but also with their mind.

In the Logic Seminar, I portray the Apothecary, George Baylor, who recently contracts a new apprentice to help out in the shop and at home. Set in 1776, the cinematic sequences give us a glimpse at the period of history that affected our nation for over two centuries. This time period was noted for its men and women of intellect and character. Isaac Watts published his first edition of Logic in 1724. He was well know and admired. Throughout the Seminar, Mr. Baylor is writing in his journal about the highlights that he has learned from Isaac Watts. By the end, the apprentice is moving on in his life, having joined the army. Mr. Baylor then presents him the journal to take with him.

All of the cinematic sequences in the Seminar are illustrations and metaphors for us today. We all have an influence on others; and, yet, we are also all apprentices. For young people, we must train them up in the way that they should go. As one learns to think more clearly, they can then interpret God's Word more clearly as well.

I hope and pray that this ministry can be an encouragement and tool to help you grow in your walk with God, and also to exercise your senses of discernment.

Maranatha!
Dan Valles
