Mr. Grant’s name is no doubt an homage to legendary Christian crooner Amy Grant. His debut album includes titles such as, “Esther, Ruth and Rahab,” “What Did you Drag Me Into?” and “Scratches.” And that, ladies and gentlemen, is all you need to know about the current state of affairs in the world of "Christian" music. "Today, for the very...

As record numbers demonstrate in the streets of Hong Kong to protest a proposed extradition law and the mainland Chinese government, a Christian song penned in 1974 has become an "unofficial anthem." Christian groups in the autonomous territory in southeastern China of approximately 7.4 million people — a former British colony — have been singing "Sing Hallelujah To The Lord" by Linda Stassen-Benjamin while protesting and marching in the streets. The song, which is catchy and simple in melody, is popular around the world and has been translated into many languages. The demonstrators have also been protesting against police brutality....

It doesn't get much better than this. All praise and honor and glory to the Son of God.

"I Can Only Imagine" was the biggest Christian hit single of all time. It's now a movie. And you might just take an unsaved friend to see it.
