is it just me or...



... does Christian rocker Jeremy Camp and the fabulous Bruno look like they were separated at birth?!

Maybe just a little? At least their hair?

pat robertson has become a tired ugly cliche...



Needless to say, I disagree completely with Patty.

But apparently, somebody still takes him seriously.

total eclipse of the heart?! (HILARIOUS!)




Thank you Mandy!

good 'good news'

And oh! there lives within my heart
A hope, long nursed by me;
(And should its cheering ray depart,
How dark my soul would be!)
That as in Adam all have died,
In Christ shall all men live;
And ever round His throne abide,
Eternal praise to give.
That even the wicked shall at last
Be fitted for the skies;
And when their dreadful doom is past,
To life and light arise.
I ask not how remote the day,
Nor what the sinners' woe,
Before their dross is purged away;
Enough for me, to know
That when the cup of wrath is drained,
The metal purified,
They'll cling to what they once disdained,
And live by Him that died.
--Anne Bronte (1843)

crazy jehovah's witnesses!

Why would anybody want to be a Jehovah's Witness?

I love how "Jesus/Michael" looks like Hulk Man from the Super Friends!

traditional marriage (sort of)

DISCLAIMER: The following video could potentially offend you. So be warned. And my gosh, FEAR! (Parents, this video is PG13).

I know nothing about the lady in the following video. So of course, this post is not an endorsement of her or any of the White House's policies on the Middle East.

OK, now that I've said all of the things that Christians have to say in order to do something that other people think is naughty or offensive... WATCH THE VIDEO!

But only if you're not going to judge me for putting this on my site. :)

Not EXACTLY accurate. But it is interesting. Or something like that.

To see this inspirational piece of artwork in all of its glory, or to purchase a copy for yourself, click here!

I gotta get myself one of those American flag head coverings. Maybe that's how Jesus stays warm as he travels from the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee before crossing the plains of Texas...

christy nockels 'life light up'




I have loved Christy Nockels' voice since she and Nathan started Watermark many years ago. It's difficult to find the words to describe how good it is.

To visit Christy's website, click here.

To follow Christy on Twitter, click here.

Here's Christy's new single. Great song!



Christy's new album released on Tuesday, and I am really enjoying it. My wife and I are giving away 5 copies thanks to her label SixStepRecords. So go to Jessica's blog and leave a comment!



So HERE and leave a comment!

great interview with amy grant about faith

this sucks

You got me. I am guilty for sure. I definitely use all of the words you mention in this video. I don't use them all at once usually. But I do use them.

By the way, you forgot the word "crap."

But you are right, the Bible does talk about talking holy.

However, the Bible also talks about a church having elders. And uh, you found a way to get around that one, huh?

i'm blue... da ba dee da ba die

For my next book, a follow-up to Churched called Hear No Evil, I was writing about my teenage affection for Sandi Patty.

Seriously, I LOVED her. Uncool? Yes. But I didn't care. Go ahead. Poke fun. Judge me.

It's nothing I haven't had to endure before. :)

Anyway, I was doing a Google search for Sandi lyrics and found THIS video. I wonder if Sandi has seen this?

I don't know what to think about it... do you?

HAVE ANY TITLE SUGGESTIONS FOR IT?
