Several years ago, I met Aaron Boyd, the lead singer of the Irish pop bandBLUETREE as they were doing an American tour. They had the best version of their original song “GOD OF THIS CITY” (sorry, Chris Tomlin) and it launched them all over the world. Bluetree had that mysterious and gentle, yet thumping, Irish sound which you hear in the music of U2 and the great Christian singer from Northern Ireland – Robin Mark (Days of Elijah etc.). In fact, Aaron told me that he was once Robin Mark’s drummer. What does this have to do with Lamentations 3:16? Well, the God of This City in a song, is the God of this and every city, where He wishes the hearts of all men, women and children will be open to letting their hearts be open to the Message our Creator wants to give to them. Some of the lyrics of the Bluetree “GOD OF THIS CITY” (2009) are perfect here:
You’re God of this city, You’re the King of these people…..

As mainstream Hollywood flounders under the weight of itself, the increasing abundance of some amazing Christian films is just astounding. Let There Be Light (LTBL) is one such film. While Pure Flix has become the “Warner Brothers” of Faith and Family big time movies and streaming services, LTBL is in independent movie produced by none other than the top U.S. Cable News Host – Sean Hannity of the Fox News Channel.

The official Let There Be Light website describes the movie thus, in part: “….But even with all the fame and success, Sol is empty and distraught on the inside and his increasing reliance on alcohol to numb the pain is only making things worse. His New York party lifestyle has isolated him from his ex wife Katy and their two remaining sons.  Their unrelenting faith in God is something that Sol has actually grown to resent and he tells Katy that he just got sick and tired of her praying for his soul. Sol’s self-destructive habits eventually catch up to him and a serious car crash leaves him clinically dead for four minutes before he is finally resuscitated by some heroic first responders.  It’s a miracle that he’s still alive, but what really changes Sol’s outlook on life is what happens during those four minutes.  It’s a four word message that refuses to let him go despite his best efforts to deny it”…and those words are“LET THERE BE LIGHT”.
