Gone are the days when Christian entertainment was boring an unexciting. The Christian entertainment business has come a long way, in a relatively short time. It is now hip, fresh, and keeping up with times. The great thing is you can get this entertainment and still receive a good positive message. With the popularity of Christian entertainment you can see that the entertainment industry has taken this to heart and are trying their best to earn your money.

One of the fasting growing industries is Christian music. Producers and record labels have come to realize that Christians are just as eager to hear good music. They now have Christian music in every genre. You can find rock, techno, hip-hop, pop, and country, just to name a few. These bands and performers also put out great live concerts. They have all the energy, pyrotechnic effects, and light shows that your main stream concerts have. So you can actually feel good about allowing your teenager to attend a rock concert. Not only will they be entertained but they will pray and fellowship with other teens that have also given their life to Christ. The music also contains a good message, so even if you don’t care for the style of music that they listen to, you do not have to worry about the message in the lyrics.

With the popularity of the movie, “Passion of the Christ,” produced by Mel Gibson, you can also see that Christian movie producers are starting to take the chance and putting the money into their films so they don’t come off as such low budget “B” movies. This last year you had the release of many well-made Christian films that did quite well at the box office. “Facing the Giants” did very well and was a great entertainment for any age. “The End of the Spear” was also well made, and well received by the Christian public, it is based on a true story, and was rated PG because the real life story was somewhat violent, but it is great for your older kids, it gives a great message of hope, forgiveness, and salvation. You also had lesser know movies like “One Night with the King,” it is a bible story brought to life on the big screen. All of these films were well written and well produced and had great messages throughout them.

You might not realize it but there is also a growing industry of Christian stand-up comics. They will crack you up with good, clean humor. They are set up in large theaters just like your secular entertainers. You can go out and be entertained without hearing all the filth that your well known stand-ups think is so funny. It is a great night out and tickets are affordable, and you can actually take your children, when you think they are old enough to understand the humor.
