O Christmas Tree (I Didn't Hear You Crying)

A new Christmas song. You're welcome.

Today Show 1994 on Internet

My wife called this to my attention today. 1994. My youngest daughter was not yet born and never lived in this world. Crazy.

The Winds--a Song

I was excited to hear this song today by guitarist Jeremy Blaska. I hope to meet Jeremy soon. He wrote this song inspired by The Winds--our Cabernet Sauvignon that raised money for art scholarships.

The comments on YouTube are disabled for this video. I think I know why.

Steve Taylor's Cash Cow

One of the creepiest and coolest songs and videos from one of the creepiest and coolest Christian musicians ever. I miss Steve Taylor. He was ahead of his time.

Len Sweet is coming to Westwinds

In all honesty, Len Sweet has made a serious life-changing impact on both of our lives--David and I. In this video that we used Sunday, to once again promo his coming to visit with our people, we had a little fun with just how much he has impacted the world and changed history.

Westwinds: Baby Bottle Fundraiser

Short Films Blowout!

Many of you have asked me about the videos I posted last week. These were from a series of videos created for use at Westwinds and beyond. The videos were packaged in DVD format under the name Popnovella. We marketed them for a bit under that name. We are trying to clear out our stock.

The DVD originally sold for 70 bucks but we are clearing them out for 20 bucks. There are 6 short films called "Thought Grenades" on the DVD. Each film is under 5 minutes in length and perfect for church or small groups. The DVD also has drag and drop files for use in Media Shout, iPod, etc. Super easy. Help us clear these puppies out and get some good stuff! We want all the DVD's to go away.

Buy one today!

Worship How To Video

It Was Funny at 11:30

Ap(art) 105.3 Interview

Halloween. Time to Burn Bibles.

I don't think this is what is meant by, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." Oops, I should use my King James: THY word is a lamp UNTO my feet and a light UNTO my path." Wouldn't want my blog banned by this church.

There are so many painful things about this video, I would rather focus on the humorous to stop from crying.

Watch the video. Then, watch it again with the list below.

Noteworthy:

1. The pastor's incredible fashion sense
2. The amazing irony of the church name in light of this
3. The freefoto.com logo in the bottom of the picture of fire they used for their flyer.
4. The irony of "celebrating" (see flyer) Halloween with a bonfire of Bibles.
5. The length of their website URL http://www.amazinggracebaptistchurchkjv.com
6. The fact there are 39 characters in the URL which, when multiplied times the pastor's IQ equals 666. Coincidence?
7. At 0:25 seconds into the clip, Dale Gribble from King of the Hill is actually standing behind the pastor (see photo).
8. The incredible number of members. And, the souls "saved from Hell" (see sign).
9. "Bar-b-Que Chicken, fried chicken, and all the sides!" The chicken didn't speak English. He had to die.
10. Apparently God came for the English speaking people. And the people who speak whatever language this guy is speaking.
11. The event goes from 7:00PM - TILL. I didn't know what time TILL was, so I looked it up. Apparently, TILL time varies upon the crop. But, after everyone has burned the bibles, the tilling will begin. Make no mistake. It's about community.
12. The spelling of Mark Driscoll's name. "Driskol." Understandable. Phonetically, it sounds a lot like Skoal chewing tobacco. Thus, the K.
13. The flyer lists many kinds of music that will be burned--including C-o-n-t-e-m-p-o-r-y Christian music. I am not aware of what this is. I looked it up. The dictionary says, Contempory (ken-temp'-oh-ree) 1.(adj) a common misspelling of the word contemporary by people who burn bibles while eating fried chicken and all the sides.

I could go on but I'll stop at 13. Good number for Halloween.

Muse: The Making of Uprising

Ignatius: The Ultimate Youth Pastor

This video is funny on so many levels. I laughed out loud a few times. Watch the whole thing. It lags in spots but there are some funny moments that surprise you.

Aside: I only wish they had not done the "wrap up" stuff. I don't know why so many things aimed at the church feel the need to tell us why things are funny. I think Christians are sometimes afraid of humor. It's like we almost apologize for the humor by making sure we explain the "real reason" we produce something. Let the funny be! We aren't dumb. We get what you are trying to do. We get satire. We get irony. We get sarcasm. Don't turn every funny video into a sermon. Let the funny speak for itself.

Swine Flu is no joke but these ads are hilarious.
