Celebrity Rock Star Pastors – Thabiti Anyabwile is on a roll lately over at his blog. Today he is talking about the rock star, celebrity pastor.

As a certified alumnus of the Jesus movement, I sometimes feel like I am living in Deja VuVille.”

The Love of God – A free MP3 of “The Love of God” by Redemption Hill Music.
