Stephen Colbert is not only incredibly funny...but also deeply dedicated to his faith. He might smart, and a great advocate for Biblical truth. Relevant did a great job pointing out some cool moments...

I thought this was a very interesting and challenging piece from Bart Millard...what do you think? Did he challenge your thinking at all?

From the Olympics

This is incredible. 1000 high school students in a hotel sing the National Anthem.

Principals close school with a sense of humor

I love this...they are closing school with a song. Wish my principals had been that fun.

Thanks for the video Facebook...

WAY TO GO Bart Millard from MercyMe

Bart Millard got a lot of heat from MercyMe Facebook fans after sharing something complimentary about the half-time performance at the Superbowl from Bruno Mars. I think the outrage is insane...and I LOVE how Bart replied. My question is this. Are people angry because Bart likes something they consider questionable or more so because it causes the structures they use to feel accomplished and safe to become questionable themselves?

"Seriously I love you guys. I really do, but you've got to find a bigger cross to die on. If me saying Bruno's performance was awesome can instantly tear down my 20 years of ministry, then I've been doing something terribly wrong! Oh wait I have been doing something terribly wrong! I've lived most of my life as a legalistic, judgmental, religious person. Not anymore folks. I'm a huge fan of music regardless whether Bruno misuses it or not. I'm a huge fan of sex, so is my wife...so is God by the way, regardless if the world abuses it. I'm also a fan of the word of God REGARDLESS if some of you people twist it to make a point. In other words, I'm no longer living my life based on what people say or think about me. My plate's already pretty full adoring my wife and kids and relishing in the truth that there's nothing I can do great enough to make Christ love me more than he already does and I can't be bad enough to separate myself from the spirit that dwells inside. So I'm gonna live life like I can't screw it up. I can screw "stuff" up...sure. And maybe some of you think I've screwed this post all up. Ha. But that's ok cuz grace works for even me. And as far as all of us being judged by our maker one day? That does not exist for the believer. There is and will never be any condemnation from Christ. When James talks about ministers or lead singers of christian bands being judged more harshly. He ain't talking about in heaven. He's talking about being judged by the Jesus police who prowl Facebook waiting to pounce. Ha. So what do I mean when I say find a bigger cross to die on? Live life doing stuff that matters like finding rest knowing Christ has done the work for you! I'm telling you, when you truly taste grace, life is a freaking blast! To know a perfect messiah came so we can have imperfect moments, like my Bruno worship apparently, and still be ok may be the greatest news of all! Heck if I'd known all of this was gonna come out of what I posted, I would've posted "BRUNO MARS FOR PRESIDENT!" I really appreciate you guys. I would not have spent 9 yrs writing this if I didn't. Welcome To the New Bart Annnnd here's a sample of some lyrics from our upcoming release Flawless No matter the bumps No matter the bruises No mater the scars Still the truth is The cross has made you flawless Woohoo!"

They look like they're imprisoned...but they're being set free.

These are kids at a Compassion project in Haiti. They are behind the windows a school room. They are the lucky ones...they have education...a school uniform...and most of all...HOPE.

You can help change the course of a country...by changing a life.

Your generosity is amazing...

This is what has come in SO FAR (and yesterday was the mailing day cut off) for Lego Love for Haiti. Your generosity is amazing...the kids who will receive these Legos are going to love them so much. Thanks for showing what Living (generosity) Out looks like...it's truly inspiring.

We are collecting Legos for our trip to Haiti with Compassion International. Legos are great because they inspire creativity in kids and take no batteries (batteries are hard to get and expensive in places like Haiti).

I would love to leave a bunch of Legos at the Compassion projects we visit for all the kids to play with. Here is where you come in.

We know Legos are crazy expensive, but If your child has some Legos, ask if they would like to donate a handful and mail them to us. We will will create Lego kits from all the pieces we get in. If you don't have kids and want to buy a Lego set and send it to us, that is absolutely fine too. We only have a few days to get them in the mail. We need to receive them by Thursday, January 16, 2014.

Send them to:

I have struggled with forgiveness...but this is not just inspiring but deeply convicting. Could you find it in your heart to forgive the person who took someone you hold dear? Could you then advocate for others to forgive alongside you?

Claire Davis' father asked people to forgive the fellow student who shot and killed his 17-year-old daughter at Arapahoe High School.

What an interesting and, at times, heartbreaking video. What would you do if you walked up on bullying in action? What if it literally landed almost in your lap? Convicting...and very interesting.
