Keith Green was one of the most popular contemporary Christian musicians in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s. He and 10 others (including two of his children) tragically died in a plane crash in 1982.
I had the privilege of interviewing him for a music magazine. He was truly a musical prophet, a musical genius with a rough [...]

Did you get a chance to see this last night’s American Idol results show? The producers decided to open the show with “Shout To The Lord” again. This time when the final 8 sang it it had the correct word in the first line (My Jesus, My Savior). I, for one, applaud their willingness to [...]

Did you watch Idol Gives Back last night? Wow, did you miss a shocker, if you didn’t?
Imagine all 8 final contestants, backed up with a choir and confetti flying everywhere, singing… Shout To The Lord. It was so cool to see.

Of all the messages that the producers of Idol Gives Back could have sent as [...]

Anybody else out there watching Lost? Of course you are. Amy of the A-Team Blog has obviously been tuning in to the last several episodes, because she’s posted some musings on time travel and its spiritual implications in Lost. Fun thoughts and speculation for a Friday afternoon.

Well, if Chris has broken out the cartoons already for Friday afternoon, I guess I’ll follow up with some TV. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an episode of E.R. in its entirety (I actually didn’t realize it was still on TV), but this clip—in which one character tries to comfort another with shallow postmodern [...]

Some in the religious press are pointing out an obvious trend of major motion pictures with a decidedly pro-life bent. I certainly saw that in the ribald Knocked Up (nominated for the dirtiest movie with a good, final message), but hadn’t considered it in other movies, like Children of Men. Of course, the incredible success [...]

Can you say “intense”?
A “secret” video from Scientology has recently surfaced that features an interview with actor Tom Cruise.
Actually I know many a Christian with this type of intense, “everybody better get in the game or get out of the arena” vibe…
See the video here

That’s a quote from Phil Vischer, creator of VeggieTales, which opened their second movie this weekend (ranked ninth with $4.4 mil).
He has a very compelling interview in Christianity Today you should check out. Here’s the crux of this thoughts on the Christian message in movies:
Some Christian films have failed flat-out because their plot was their [...]

For all you b-boys and b-girls that read this blog (any of you out there?):

(HT: Targuman)

Thanks to CT for pointing out a new trend of spoofing the Nooma video series by Rob Bell (who was featured last week in Time magazine).
I’ve seen some of the videos and have enjoyed them. But their hip video production and Bell’s cool intensity were just screaming to be parodied.
Kudos to these folks [...]
