Simply amazing. Make sure you watch the video.
Ten points to the first person who can name the title of the song being led in the picture above from memory. No cheating!

It’s so wrong that I know this. “On Zion’s glorious summit stood a numerous host redeemed by blood…” etc
D’oh. Do I get five points for coming in second? Do I get partial credit for knowing it without looking at lesleymac’s comment?
All that aside, it’s a grand song.
Another friend of mine had this one their blog a couple of weeks back, so I could not have participated fairly.
But it’s fun.
Too funny. It would go perfect with the upcoming Left Behind Game and of course a perfect addition to Dance Praise.
The “Left Behind” game. It’s truly a dark day for video games.
Leslymac-
No joke. They are calling it “the Grand Theft Auto game for Christians” because of the violence.
Official site
That is absolutely sick. What’s next - a Christian game where you play Satan, torturing the unrepentant in hell?
Uhh… it’s a joke, right? Like Tim’s megachurch game? right?
pretty well done video ad though
from the left behind video game site that Micheal linked:
Game description (my emphasis in bold)
Wage a war of apocalyptic proportions in LEFT BEHIND: Eternal Forces - a real-time strategy game based upon the best-selling LEFT BEHIND book series created by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. Join the ultimate fight of Good against Evil, commanding Tribulation Forces or the Global Community Peacekeepers, and uncover the truth about the worldwide disappearances!
· Lead the Tribulation Force from the book series , including Rayford, Chloe, Buck and Bruce against Nicolae Carpathia – the AntiChrist.
· Conduct physical & spiritual warfare : using the power of prayer to strengthen your troops in combat and wield modern military weaponry throughout the game world.
· Recover ancient scriptures and witness spectacular Angelic and Demonic activity as a direct consequence of your choices.
· Command your forces through intense battles across a breathtaking, authentic depiction of New York City .
· Control more than 30 units types - from Prayer Warrior and Hellraiser to Spies, Special Forces and Battle Tanks!
[Yikes]
Makes one long for the days of “Billy Graham’s Bible Blaster” from the Simpson’s (hope the formatting holds up):
Bart: When I’m feeling low, you know what always cheers me up?
Todd: Is it love?
Rod: Kindness?
Bart: Ooh, tough room. Videogames! Whaddya got? [grabs a videogame off the shelf, and reads the title] “Billy Graham’s Bible Blaster?”
Rod: Keep firing; convert the heathens!
[cut to a pixilated video screen. Heathens cross the street, as a Bible gun shoots the Holy Book at them. When a heathen gets hit, he turns into a conservatively dressed man with a halo]
[cut back to the boys]
Bart: Got him!
Rod: No, you just winged him and made him a Unitarian.
Todd: Look out, Bart! A gentle Baha’i!
[cut back to the video screen. A Baha'i, sitting cross-legged and wearing a turban, floats past. Bart zaps him, and turns him into another suit-wearing conservative]
[cut back to the boys]
Bart: All right! Full conversion! [puts his arms around Rod and Todd] Thanks guys, this really cheered me up.
Video: Second Coming! Reload, reload!
Todd: Can we play now?
Bart: We are playing. We’re a team.
Rod + Todd: [pause] Yay!

[...] Micheal Felker recently mentioned the forthcoming series of Left Behind video games, which he says is being hailed as “Grand Theft Auto for Christians.” [...]
[...] After reading a hilarious parody on Radical Conguency. I made an off-handed remark about the game and the comments rolled in. [...]
If the “Left Behind” game is terrorism, so is the “Songleader Revolution,” in my book!
Amy pointed out the mountain scene in the backround, which can be found in a multitude of small churches across the US. The scene and others like it are sold to serve as a backdrop for the baptistry, since most C of Cs don’t display crosses.
Here’s an example - less than a hundred bucks.
Because He Loves Me So? Can’t tell if that’s right becuase sound isn’t actually working on my computer, but that is what is running through my head.
Justin-
I can’t believe that I never noticed that in all my time going to churches of Christ. Why don’t they display crosses?
Um…is it a secret reason?
This is a great find. Thanks Team Radical Congruency!
Oh, probably idolatry and all that (iconoclasm never really died). I don’t think it’s an official policy or a matter of doctrine; it’s just not done. It’s like playing in the pulpit after church. You know how that is.
