New Godawa Book – Word Pictures

by

Earlier this summer I had the opportunity to meet and speak with Brian Godawa, screenwriter of To End All Wars, one of my all-time favorite movies. Godawa is great at making movies and documentaries that are weighty, culturally relevant, and that positively present a Christian worldview. For example, he has a new 60-minute documentary I recently saw called Lines That Divide: The Great Stem Cell Debate that gives a great overview on the problems of embryonic stem cell research and some of the better alternatives (from both a medical and ethical perspective). So I'm delighted that Mr. Godawa … [Read more...] about New Godawa Book – Word Pictures

Sing Praise To The Lord – Dan Goeller

by

Two things draw me to powerful, Scripture-laden worship songs: (1) Music has always had a profound impact on how I feel and think--my affections, and the object of my affections. (2) We were made to praise that in which we delight. Scriptural and theologically-rich lyrics, set to a worshipful tune, have an inexplicable way of lifting my affections back to God, and putting gospel-oriented thoughts in my mind--thoughts which readily turn to meditations on the One in whom we live, move, and have our being. It is in that vein that I heartily recommend Sing Praise To The Lord by Dan Goeller. The … [Read more...] about Sing Praise To The Lord – Dan Goeller
