Christian Music in Public Places

My son and I had a “Boys Night Out” tonight and spent some time at a local recreation center. We played some miniature golf, he rode the bumper boats a couple of times and got soaked, followed up by a go-cart ride to hopefully air-dry him out a bit.
One thing I appreciated while we were […]

Lead Singer of "YES" Sang with 4Him

This is by no means new trivia in the general realm of trivia, but it’s something I just learned yesterday. After hearing it though, it’s obvious because the song sounds just like a Yes song.
“The Only Thing I Need” by 4Him, with Yes singer John Anderson.
It’s a great song! I really didn’t realize it was […]

Mandisa’s “Only the World” Sits at #2 on Billboard

Jeanne over at Idol Stalker just gave me the heads-up that Mandisa is doing really well with her debut release. Specifically, her song “Only the World”, she recorded with tobyMac and Kirk Franklin is doing extremely well. So well that she’s only trailing Beyonce on the Billboard Overall Single Sales at #2. Correction: “Only the […]

Does Your Church Have a Porn Problem?

My church is having Craig Gross, pastor of XXXChurch.com at our church in June. Lot’s of debate and discussion among our members about whether they should be coming into our church or not. Are we in denial? Would you have them at your church?
I’ll bet if you’re not willing to sing a secular song in […]

Here’s an interesting story about Mat Kearney

I remember when I first heart Mat Kearney, I wasn’t introduced to him as a new Christian artist, but he is, even though he doesn’t really prefer to use the label as such. With his popularity lately, it seems he’s getting more opportunity to witness than others in the Christian music industry.
Here’s an interesting article […]

Scott Krippayne Wins American Idol Songwriter Contest

I’m watching tonight’s final performance episode of American Idol and seeing who’s going to bring it home between Mr. Entertainer, Blake Lewis, or Ms. Teenage Vocal Phenom, Jordin Sparks.
They each get three songs, one of which is the song that was written by the winning submission for their songwriter contest. Ryan Seacrest ventures out into […]

Correction: Dirty Little Secret by Pillar

In one of my earlier posts I attributed the song “Dirty Little Secret” to the secular band All-American Rejects. The version of the song that was actually performed was by the group Pillar.
It wasn’t until I was reading through the lyrics that I realized it was a different one and there were multiple versions of […]

Should There Be More Secular Music in Church?

 
The creative arts ministry conference attended last week in Grand Rapids, MI was great! It was very inspiring, and a bit overwhelming to see the quality and excellence in production for a church that is actively doing what it takes to reach the lost around us.
It was interesting to me to hear them say two […]

Melinda Doolittle Performs “There Will Come A Day” on American Idol

 
I’m just catching up on tonight’s episode of American Idol and their special “Idol Gives Back” show. What a great effort by an organization with some serious clout and weight that could really get some things changed. A single sponsor will be donating $5M if there are 50 million votes casted tonight.
Melinda Doolittle performed a […]
