I really liked the performance of “Shout To the Lord” by the Top 8 American Idol contestants on Idol Gives Back last night. Watch the performance:

Hi, interesting how once the name of Jesus is discussed, the BIG Questions come up: suffering, who is God, what is truth etc. Why is Christianity different from other religions? Because only Christians dare to believe that their main human protagonist is also God! And yes, He was Jewish.
And I expected some Jewish person to point out that although Christians have been singing versions of “Shout to the Lord all the earth” for almost 2000 years, the song comes from the Psalms. Old Testament.
Maybe the question to ask is not, why did Idols leave the name of Jesus out, but, why did the Church put it in?
