Jesus Takes Over Times Square

For an hour on April 24th, New York City’s Times Square proclaimed the name of Jesus.

Hillsong Church bought all the screens in the square and played a loop of a video that flashed “Jesus” and “No Other Name”.  Hillsong is releasing a new album called “No Other Name” and is hosting conferences this year, but the video did not say anything about the church.

Hillsong members in the Square that night reported many passersby stopping to look at the display, openly wondering what business was behind the loop of Jesus and “No Other Name”.

“Times Square, one of the most iconic locations on Earth, is a place where so many names scream for fame,” Hillsong Art and Communications Director Jay Argaet said.  “The most powerful brands, biggest shows and famous celebrities.  Every name wants to be the greatest!  Perhaps this would be the most powerful way to remind the world HIS name trumps them all.”

The “No Other Name” campaign is based on Acts 4:12, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

Hollywood Actress Says God Honors Obedience

A Hollywood actress says that God has always honored her following the Holy Spirit when He led her to turn down certain movie roles.

Meagan Good said that her Christian beliefs have led her to turn down some major movie roles but that God has always delivered.

“I have my parameters of what I feel in my spirit is appropriate,” Good told the LA Times. “There have been times where it’s been tough because it’s something I really wanted, but the nudity would be exploitative and I’d lose the opportunity, but what I’ve found is that the more I stick to my convictions, the more God sticks to his promises. When I would lose something, something better would come up than what I turned down. And I’ve been able to pay my bills doing nothing else since I was 13.”

Good is married to Preacher DeVon Franklin and strongly believes that you can maintain your Christian faith and be successful in Hollywood.

“We believe that both can come together and one can be used to promote the other, using what we do in the business to promote the kingdom,” Good said.
