Yesterday we found out that the beloved actor Robin Williams died of apparent suicide. I personally have watched some of his movies while growing up and was saddened to hear these tragic news. Buckets of digital ink have already been spilled regarding the reason and mystery of why this happened. If you are reading this and contemplating…

In the last few days, I’ve been flooded with people requesting that I immerse myself in the new Noah film and offer a gospel-drenched opinion. I saw the movie Saturday night and enjoyed it. But before you come at me with a wave of criticism, I want you to consider the following:

Should Christians listen to secular music? This is probably one of the most controversial questions that exists among Christians. But it shouldn’t be. The right way to approach this question is Biblically, not culturally or even personally. The question is not about if you can listen to secular music but rather what should guide and direct…
