6th Annual Art of Eloquence Video Countdown to CHRISTmas!

The 6th Annual Art of Eloquence Video Countdown to CHRISTmas starts today! Music video is a powerful form of communication. We can use it to worship, to express ourselves and to share the love of God. My goal, again, this CHRISTmas is to help put Christ back in our CHRISTmas by sharing 25 of my most favorite CHRISTmas videos with you. This first one is one I discovered last year called Where's the Line to See Jesus? It shares my feeling, and that of many other Christians today, that our society has commercialized this blessed holiday to the point were we don't even know what it's all about anymore. Though there are many Christmas movies during this holiday season, there...

National Whiner's Day

December 26th is National Whiner's Day.  While you may think this a rather silly holiday, it does give us a reason to talk about one of the most irritating kinds of communication there is: whining.  And it is fitting that it is the day after CHRISTmas.  You see, during the CHRISTmas season, we all try to act a little nicer, be a little kinder and smile and give greetings to those we meet.  The day after CHRISTmas, that's already long forgotten! lol Black Friday might be the day we all rush to the stores to grab everything we need to save anything we can. However, National Whiner's Day is a time to take back all our CHRISTmas gifts that don't fit, are the wrong color, looked better on...

Merry CHRISTmas!

I love this song!  I share it with you on CHRISTmas because CHRISTmas isn't about Santa or family or presents, but it's also not just about baby Jesus or the wise men or the manger.  It's about our sin, it's about God's love, it's about the blood that Jesus shed for us. But more than this, the beginning of the story, it's about the cross.  It's the ending to the story on Resurrection Sunday that saves us. CHRISTmas is only the beginning of Jesus' story.  He wasn't just born for us, but He lived with us and died for us.  That's the love of our Lord and Savoir. x I pray you have had a blessed time this past month leading up to this day. Merry CHRISTmas from all of...

Day 22 of the Countdown to CHRISTmas-CHRISTmas Shoes

Today's video is one that I can never get through without crying.  The precious gift of a child for his mom who may meet Jesus tonight.  It's called The CHRISTmas Shoes and sung by Newsong. The video is like a mini movie and just as precious as it could be to show the love of a child for his mother on CHRISTmas Eve. This is the Love of Christ right in the heart of that little boy and how he shows the man in line behind him a glimpse into the kind of love that Jesus has for us. Tomorrow is another great video. Until then... If you liked this post, please subscribe to our RSS feed and share the...

Day 21 of the Countdown to CHRISTmas-Little Drummer Boy

Only a few days left of the 5th Annual Video Countdown to CHRISTmas.  Today I bring you the most musically interesting version of Little Drummer Boy by Jars of Clay. I'm afraid the video isn't very visually interesting, but I couldn't find another with this version of this song.  I absolutely adore the drums and rhythm.  The harmony is quite different as well. x x Coming up in the next few days are a few more incredible ways to worship and praise the Lord for the gift of CHRISTmas.  Until then...
