*Amazing short films: (1) a live-action drama “The Bridge“ and (2) an animated dramatization, “Everyday Life“

I know we complain about the high cheese factor of alot of Christian entertainment, but these pieces are two very diverse examples of how the message of Jesus Christ can be both heartfelt and presented skillfully and succinctly. 

Share Christ-based work that’s touched you.  If you have an example of well-composed, and mostly unknown work that you’d like to share (whether visual or audio), post a comment!

A Cup of Coffey to Wake Me Up

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and My burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30 

Coffey sings “All Ye” – for the song’s chords visit http://godtube.com/coffey

For me, this verse is beginning to take on new context.  I’m beginning to understand that the answered prayer does not always result in my own desired change in outer circumstances; yet, instead, often leads to the change needed within to perservere.

Funny, this verse was first put on my heart via Coffey Anderson’s “Come Ye” song (see above vid; more songs found on http://www.myspace.com/coffeysouthernman).  I didn’t feel it a verse that I really needed at the time, as a few of us gathered and sang the song together with one guitar and several voices, most of us failing miserably at the rap part.

Yet, I find myself finding my own rest in it even now, as past hurts and insecurities would threaten to restrict the voice that God has given me (just as He’s given you!)

Rest and peace comes when we don’t restrict God to our own expectations, because He’s bigger than that. 

We have to give God the space to move in His own way; ’cause His ways don’t just tend the symptoms, but address our issue’s source.
