1. Newsboys, "God's Not Dead (Like a Lion)"

Newsboys are a Christian pop rock band from Mooloolaba, Australia. I find that "Mooloolaba" makes a great substitute for any other exclamation. Mooloolaba! The Newsboys' keyboardist is named Jeff Frankenstein, which sounds awfully glam. The band was originally called The News, but changed their name in the mid-'80s to avoid any problems with Huey Lewis (yes, really). The Newsboys' first two albums were called Hell Is for Wimps and Boys Will Be Boyz. This is the lead single from their 15th album, God's Not Dead. The bridge sounds like Coldplay and then there is a whispered hardcore breakdown. The video is about how the main purpose of social media is arguing.

Times are tough and rock is hard. Below, just as we have the rock and latin-pop charts, this week we grade the top ten songs on Billboard's Christian chart.

1. MercyMe, "Move"

This just sounds like Maroon 5. That is all. Grade: D

2. Casting Crowns, "Courageous"

Okay, this is more like it. This is an entertaining video for a modern rock anthem for spiritual warriors. When I Googled one of the lines from this song the second link that showed up was to the Amazon page for a book called Every Man's Battle: Winning The War On Sexual Temptation One Victory At A Time (The Every Man Series). I guess that's what they mean by "the battle of the hand." Grade: B+
