“He Stopped Loving Her Today” by George Jones

— Friday, March 25th, 2011 —

This is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of country music songs. On this week’s episode of “The Cross and the Jukebox,” we’ll listen to the Possum sing and then talk about some themes found in this great old song. We’ll discuss a Christian view of love, jealousy, and the relationship of love and death.

As others have noted, Bell’s argument is not new at all. But Bell’s central point is always relevant. One of his questions [...]

Blood Songs with Alan and Mahalia Jackson

— Friday, March 18th, 2011 —

This week on “The Cross and the Jukebox,” we step back and look at a broader theme in music: the persistence of blood. Willie Nelson, for instance, will often go from singing songs about honky-tonking and hard-living to singing “There Is a Fountain.” This is at the same time that, in almost every generation, [...]

What Evangelicals Can Learn from Saint Patrick

— Thursday, March 17th, 2011 —

To our shame, most evangelical Protestants tend to think of Saint Patrick as a leprechaun. As we watch the annual drunken parades and pop-culture consumerism of the March holiday, no one could seem more removed from biblical Christianity than Patrick. And yet, Patrick’s life was [...]
