Top 10 Musicals of All Time

Top 10 Musicals of All Time

There is something about a musical that takes me to a place outside of reality that seems more life-like than watching a movie. Maybe it’s the melody. Maybe it’s the fun costumes. Maybe it’s the type of storyline that seems more realistic than an action-packed thriller. I’m not the only one who loves the creative genius of a good musical. The old ones are not forgotten, as young actors love to fill the roles of the classics like Fiddler on the Roof, The Music Man, Guys and Dolls, and Oklahoma! ABC’s remake of The Sound of Music with Kelly Clarkson playing Maria was so successful that they have announced it will be aired every holiday season. Of all the musicals – traditional stage performances and big screen movies – there are a few that stand out as my top 10 of all time.

Fear is Just a Lie:  Mike Donehey Devotional

Fear is Just a Lie: Mike Donehey Devotional

Mike Donehey, the lead singer for the wildly popular Christian contemporary band "Tenth Avenue North" also happens to be one of my favorite speakers.  He is a true ambassador for the word of Christ and offers great insight to song lyrics, bible verses, and overall life lessons.  In this video journal Mike is covering a topic that everyone can relate to, fear.  Mike offers some quotes and makes the argument that all fear originates from the individual believing in a lie.  Satan is known as the "father of lies" and tricks us into fearing a lot of things that the Bible tells us we need not fear.  So we are challenged to keep our guard up and pinpoint these lies that lead to fear, so we can avoid them and stay on the path of righteousness.

How Great Is Our God Lyrics- Chris Tomlin With Video

How Great Is Our God Lyrics- Chris Tomlin With Video

Chris Tomlin is one of the most talented Christian musicians out today. He plays guitar and piano very well and can sing with the best of them! But, I think his greatest strength is in the words that he writes in his songs and how he puts them to melody. There are so many wonderful lyrics that he has written and “How Great Is Our God” is no exception. Here is a look at the lyrics and a quick meditation on them.

Ten Best Sarah Young Books

Ten Best Sarah Young Books

Sarah Young is the type of author who lets her words speak for themselves, or rather, let's Jesus's words speak to you. Her books are written from the point of view of Jesus speaking directly to the reader. Sarah believes that it is possible for all of us to hear God's messages through quiet listening and prayer. The responses she receives during her devotional time make up the majority of her published works.

Lead Me Lyrics- Sanctus Real With Video

Lead Me Lyrics- Sanctus Real With Video

Lead Me by Sanctus Real is one of the most passionate songs to fathers. It shows a real man who is praying to God that he will not fail his wife and children. It shows a man asking God to lead him so that he can lead his family in love. I am encouraged every time I here this song to be the best dad that I can be and I hope you will see that our Father is the best Dad we’ll ever have! He loves us unconditionally and will never leave us! Please enjoy reading the lyrics below and my thoughts about them!

Phil Robertson Of “Duck Dynasty” Fame Receiving Heated Responses For His Comments

Phil Robertson is normally shooting at something; ducks, turkeys, hogs, but some of his most recent comments have caused some to take aim at him.  I have written positively about the Duck Dynasty family on this site once before: (http://www.faithandentertainment.com/duck-dynasty-on-ae-is-safe-for-christians/) and I would like to address this hubbub involving this Godly patriarch.
