Christian music comes of age

For those not convinced that Christian music has come in its own, folks like Tobymac and Brandon Heath have something to say about it. And they have talent to back it up.





Nice to have a positive alternative for my kids to listen to one day, if they choose.

Give me your eyes

One of my favorite songs on the radio, these days, and for a long time now.



We need to have confidence in who we are. And stop being scared of our shadows.

One man thought that, at least. He was right.

I know my choice. Do you?

Are the terrorists right?

That's the question we need to ask ourselves today.

Are they right? Are we weak? Are we soft? Are we too liberal?

If so, why are we fighting them? Aren't they right? Shouldn't we be joining their ranks? Isn't liberalism the problem and illiberalism the answer?

And, if not, why are we scared? If our liberal values make us strong, what are we scared of?

Our own shadows, by my lights.

How sad to watch the strongest peoples in the history of humanity be scared of their own shadows. Enough that they would follow a path of illiberalism, reversing all the progress they have made in more than 200 years of more liberal democracy, out of fear that what makes them so great is what makes them weak.

If we are weak, and the terrorists are strong, we need to go about the business of being strong like the terrorists. And becoming just as brutal, just as vengeful, just as unforgiving as they are. Not some half-ass compromise. Because if they are strong, we need to be strong like them. Not some bullshit half-measure.

But if not, if we are strong, then we need to confident in who we are. And be strong. And all of the compassion, humanity, liberty and values that comes with that strength.

What we need to do is choose. We need to shit or get off the pot.

I know my choice.

Do you?
