Traitors for Christ
Okay. Please set aside your political leanings. Pretend you have no clue about what these folks are potesting: If you are a Christian, should you have been part of this protest? Why or why not? Now, let’s just stipulate that it is for a genuinely good cause. To support the downtrodden. To right a major…
King Solomon: For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief (Ecclesiastes 1:18, New International Version). Poison: Yeah sometimes I wish I didn’t know now The things I didn’t know then Yes, the body of Christ is composed from every nation under the sun, and from folks who grew up with…
Proud dad alert. 🙂 This video of the week is a euphonium improvisation that my son, Michael Fahrner, played this morning at church: [youtube=https://youtu.be/DEqCrXld8uo&rel=0&w=512]
The stockings are emptied; the gifts are open. What remains is more important: time with loved ones. Perhaps the greatest gift the Lord gave us in 2015 is a new home in a new town. From the first day we visited Strasburg, Colorado, we have seen the beauty of its land and its people. That…
This Video of this Week, “Hand of Jesus” is a brand new track…as in “released yesterday” from David Britt. I am hoping this means in 2016 David will be releasing a Christian CD of EP. 🙂 This song reminds me of a sermon I gave a while back called “The Hand of God.” Punch line…
Welcome Welcome to episode number four of Traditores Higher Frequency! This week we build off our interview with accomplished country musician David Britt last week, where we learned a bit about him, his music, and his faith. During that interview we touched on what might be my favorite song by him, “Do You Really Believe”…and…
Welcome Welcome to the third episode of Traditores Higher Frequency. This week you get to meet a very talented country musician and brother in Christ, David Britt. David and I connected on Skype and chatted about him, his music, and his faith. What you are about to hear is a shortened version of that dynamic…
For the Traditores Video of the Week… Okay…I know it’s more like the Traditores Video of Every-Few-Months. 🙂 And as a Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there…here is a great tune from one of my favorite bands: [youtube=https://youtu.be/0VNthEJlSdw&w=512&rel=0] By the way, at least some of the group became Christians. (They may all…
Lynyrd Skynyrd may seem a bit odd for a Christian site’s “video of the week,” but give this a listen and you’ll see why. [youtube=https://youtu.be/Vl_bU776Gyk&rel=0&w=512]
Here is some theological debate advice from Star Trek Next Generation’s sentient android, Data: [youtube=http://youtu.be/yIRT6xRQkf8?w=512&rel=0] Test it. Don’t try to “win” the debate. Stay civil throughout. See what happens. P.S. And notice how Data behaves even after, not trying to “win”…he “wins”… Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is…

I am a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas music, but I am very proud to break that habit with the addition of five songs by Cloverton to the Countdown2.Christmas Radio playlist. I’m sure a lot of it is Lance Stafford’s unique voice, but I can’t say enough about how the whole band takes Christmas…
Okay, I know I haven’t been doing these weekly…and that it’s a bit early for this one…but boy do I love it when Mark Lowry and the Gaither Vocal Band sing “Mary Did You Know?”… [youtube=http://youtu.be/iseLqbcqGOg&w=512&rel=0]
Okay, so I haven’t been keeping up so that it is the “Video of the Week”…more like the “Video of the Three Weeks.” 🙂 But, I’ll get better…especially if you share your suggestions with me! 🙂 This week, an acoustic video from a new band I discovered this week, Unspoken: [youtube=http://youtu.be/to3p-zgOCXU&w=512&rel=0] And a bonus lyric…
This is the first video in a new Traditores feature, the Traitorous Music Video of the Week. They will not necessarily all be Christian (e.g. “Happy Birthday” by Flipsyde is not), but they will always be thought provoking, great music, or both. In this case, a talented rapper realizes that an abortion he paid for…
