Faith, Film, and Culture is one of my most challenging courses this semester- in more than one way. Class today was downright thought provoking. It awoke in me a sense of longing and excitement that I have not felt in a long time: a desire to embrace Christ without abandon.

The movie for today was Keith Green’s video biography. I had no idea who this guy was until our instructor tearfully explained what this man was about. He is an example of God’s imprint on humanity- the “God shaped hole”. Alive during the Jesus movement, Keith Green was one of many who left the free love of the 60’s on a quest for something more. Once he found it, there was no stopping his faith.

What he found was Jesus. Once he accepted Him fully, he wanted EVERYONE to know about his Savior. What is most fascinating about him is the evidence of God in his life… his desire for God and God’s desire for him. It wasn’t a one way thing- it wasn’t his dreams vs. God’s plan. They combined… and he became one of the forerunners of the Christian music industry.

Sadly, he died an untimely death at the age of 28. I am still amazed at whe he did during that time… what God did during that time. He opened his house to strangers, had many close friends, loved unconditionally, and embraced the bible and God’s teachings as if they were the total rule of his life. How many of us would do something like that???

The complaciancy of this culture saddens me. We settle for clutter instead of culture. We settle for walls and windows instead of breaking through the rubble and reaching out to those in need. We complain about things that have no eternal value- we preach christian values and then ignore them when it comes to our own lives. What is wrong with us?? I am no better… I try to love and I try to care, but so many times I think of myself first. Where is Christ in my life? There is so much noise in this world, it is no wonder that I can’t hear God! He speaks in a still small voice, while I listen through headphones- my focus elsewhere.

Lord, I want my passions to be for you alone. This is not about what I can do… what any of us can do. Please help me to set aside my own selfish ambitions and keep my thoughts pure and for you alone. Help the leaders- of the entertainment industry, of the schools, of the companies- to set aside money and material woes and let YOU have control.
