Popular culture and the Church
This is a subject that God has placed on my heart for years now. I've wanted to make a video using video clips, photos and text but just never got around to it. Finely I had the time and will to do it. I had so many years of ideas built up in my head that I could have made an hour long video. But after asking the advice of my wife, she told me to try to think of what you want the video to say and then select the videos, photos and text that would make the biggest impact in the shortest amount of time. So I think I've come up with something very impact-full that has a powerful message for the Church, but it not overly long. Some of the content is quite graphic but I really believe that it was necessary to make the point. I don't want anyone to take away from this video that we, the Church, need to be living in the past and only singing old hymns. I believe in singing a "New Song" I just believe that we can be modern and relevant without selling out to the evils of our culture. All statistics shown in the video come from the Barna research group. And the music is from the Passion Of The Christ

John 2:19
Skin against wood, the whip tearing deep. Hands ripped and body torn, the few mourn. Wounds on the surface and within the soul, broken heart flows. Strength of the man and not the One, My God My God... alone. Piercing sounds and jarring tension, the end of creation and religion. The dimming eyes gaze over the darkening sky, as the fortress crumbles The spirit flies. Life and mind, Blood and bone, The fortress rebuilt the body reborn.
"Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up"
Newness
Unchained, unearthed, the dormant spirit's rebirth. Severing ties, and lies, the soul tries to mesmerize. But the separation is complete, hear the feet run...overcome. Walking to the beat of an unseen drum, the body of sin undone, the battle won.
