Nathan Clark George Concert

At the Regional Worldview Conference of Morton Illinois I have the privilege of recording then post-producing music videos of Nathan Clark George. He will be posting them from week to week on his YouTube channel. Here is one of them:

I have interacted on a few occasions with Nathan, and I can testify he lives what he sings. He really has a solid worldview, walk with God, and an great family.

Something that I have pondered in the genres for Christian music. I have often wondered what sort of music God likes, and whether we will hear our brand of Christian music in Heaven. Music has come a long way since King David would play on the harp while watching sheep in the Old Testament. Does God like Hebrew music most? Is He partial in any way? I don’t mean on moral grounds—does He simply have His own musical tastes? I can’t wait to find out (and, hopefully, He and I will have something in common in this regard).

Have you ever wondered if your standards of music are consistent with what God considers good? Have you ever felt some music in your collection is so “secular” it shouldn’t belong to or be listened to by committed Christians? Continue reading →

Michael Billings

Michael Billings was a very dear man of God that worked at The Vision Forum. Last year, November 4th, Michael was killed in a car accident. Still, friends of Michael care about his legacy, and yesterday they gathered for a memorial service in his honor a year after his death. (More info on the memorial service here)

I didn’t know Michael too well, but what I did know of him, and the few times we conversed, he was a good and Godly young man. I respect(ed) him and what he was doing with his life. His character was impeachable and his expression of living the Christian faith a good model for young men. Continue reading →
