  • Bono, the lead singer of U2, and David Taylor, assistant professor of theology and culture, reflect on "unlocking" artists of faith, the relationship between Christ’s ministry and themes of justice in the Psalms, and the importance of adopting that same “manifesto” in our lives.
    FULLER studio and Fourth Line Films present “Bono & David Taylor: Beyond the Psalms,” a conversation filmed at the Manhattan studio of Mako Fujimura, director of the Brehm Center for Worship, Theology, and the Arts. Interview by Fourth Line Films: Nathan Clarke, director; W. David O. Taylor, producer; John Harrison, cinematographer. For FULLER studio, (including New York City footage): Lauralee Farrer, director; Tamara Johnston McMahon, senior producer; Ronald Allchin, producer; Nate Harrison and Tim Ronca, cinematographers; Patrick O'Neil Duff, editor.

    Bono (as if he'd read this), Love your heart. I remember the first illegal free concert on top of the liquor store on Seventh and Main St. amidst the drunks and homeless in Los Angeles. That concert brought the term "Homeless" into the public vernacular and mindset. We were there, then, and we are still there today. Would love to see you hold another concert in LA for homelessness. LA is very sympathetic and supportive of resolving homelessness and relieving suffering. You were part of the start of the movement, especially the worldwide awareness of this element of suffering in the world. Thanks

    "The most valuable thing the Psalms do for me is to express that same delight in God which made David dance. I am not saying that this is so pure or so profound a thing as the love of God reached by the greatest Christian saints and mystics. But I am not comparing it with that, I am comparing it with the merely dutiful ‘churchgoing’ and laborious ‘saying our prayers’ to which most of us are, thank God not always, but often, reduced. Against that it stands out as something astonishingly robust, virile, and spontaneous; something we may regard with an innocent envy and may hope to be infected by as we read." C.S. Lewis, The Fair Beauty of the Lord, Reflections on the Psalms

    I like being invited to be "untrapped", because I am a believer, a musician (singer) and a composer. I was taught by my Mom when I was little to memorise some Psalms and New Testament passages, but as an an adult I find the Psalms difficult. I realise that Thanks and Praise are the most present themes in Psalms, yet it's been a foggy and unclear read for me. It's very, very, hard to understand that I can feel inside me, yet I can't get The Word at times..... So thank you for suggesting starting at Psalm 82. Will do. Thank You.....

    My Son was born in 2007 and all of 2006 and 2007 I was looking for life verses for him. Psalm 82 was one of the first ones I was lead to and labeled it “Be A Hero” and “God’s Champion”. The verse is about God. Some would say it’s not for us. But not Jesus. Jesus told us to be Holy for our Father in Heaven is Holy. That is an imperial command by the LORD of Lords Himself to imitate the character of God, which we see in Psalm 82. This verse is for us to do and don’t let anyone tell you different. I already liked Bono as a musician and artist that is a Christian. But now he has impressed me big time with Ps82. My channel name is for Psalm 117 and I have an inactive one I am working on for Psalm 82. Great video!

    Bono’s earnest plea for artists to unlock is a good one, reading the Bible is essential. People need to understand something that is not communicated very well by this video. The reason everyone learns Psalms, at least historically, is the language, not the intention, but the construction of the words. Befriending an orphan and caring for the needy, may be something some people take to heart as a command, but it’s just pure language, it describes the action of Two people together. It shows two people. And, It shows two people together. Which is just the action of anything in society. The point of it, for anyone, because it has nothing to do with religion, is that it is a depiction of Two people together, establishing the science of a relationship, like any action does between objects. Once you see the depiction, you understand the relationship between objects. Then you can consider whether you are the religious type or not. Reading the Bible, in essence, is just looking at a lot of pictures of scientific experiments, the author juxtaposing one object with another, and then colliding them. That’s all the Bible is, because it’s poetry, the absence of meaning, the presence of things- art. The Christian responds, Jesus means a lot to me. And I say, that’s because as a Christian he’s in front of you. The Jewish man says, the Law means a lot to me. And I say, that’s because you spend your Sabbaths not in the synagogue [which would be a meaningful sabbath, a day devoted to prayer*], but at home where instead the mezuzot is on the doorframe [the presence of a thing* the Sabbath is a day devoted to rest**]. But consider this. What about a book that said the opposite, Harming an orphan, and discarding the needy, it would be presenting two people. But it would not be presenting them together. Therein lies the moral sense, the kind of thing Bono is getting into in the video. I think the moral sense, is a reading, for a philosopher, and the reading I like, of not going that deep, is for an education. The philosopher is seeking guidance, but the one who seeks an education just wants to learn some terms. The reason I read the Bible, was to learn the science, and the philosophy, may have touched my heart, at some time, but I see it from the field where I work, not from the pew. I have spent little time in pews over the years, for I am always in the field. The pew, is useful, for those who consider God, to not remove themselves from work, but as someone in the field, work must be far from me. If it wasn’t just terms in my mind, I would be incapable of work. The religious faithful who go to church, don’t do the work of the church, so they don’t have to be smith with the terms, which is not possible if they are imbued with the sense of the pews, which is penitent faith. For to read the Psalms, and adopt the moral of the story, is to read without allowing yourself to interpret the words. This is not a useful reading, for the church to do its work. For they must, write the words that fill the church every week. Marble looks great in a building, but that is not what the mason is thinking as he works, he is judging where to lay it, not experiencing the pleasure of looking at it. The church is a house of worship, where you pray, but to support prayer, is the science of the world all around you, the world and society that made the church available to you, by building it, using masons, carpenters, and planners, brick by brick. The Psalms are the experiments that determine the construction, so that the Temple may be well-built, not as a shanty, but as a well-constructed building, like the convoluted designs of a city skyscraper, because the principles of construction are not moral, for the carpenters, masons, and planners, but structural, with endless details and considerations. The Bible like scientific literature is a design scheme, for when Einstein suggests energy and mass are related, we build bombs and reactors, just as when Moses suggests God is one, we worship one God, through one church, and make the church a single undivided thing, and when Einstein suggests energy is expressed as quanta, we build electron microscopes to study the subatomic world, just as when Jesus says Love one another, we build hospitals, and fund charitable organizations, that we be in service of each other as a people who not only live together, but come together.

    Hey! Jesus loves you! He died for your sins on the cross and rose again 3 days later! All you need to do to accept Gods gift is believe in him and what he did, And you need to repent(turn from sin and follow Jesus) and ask him for forgiveness in prayer. And remember that Jesus is God! He is three in one, the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit!

    Psalm 82 - a psalm quoted by Jesus in John 10 as Jews were about to stone him. In referencing psalm 82 Jesus drew a contrast between the injustice of the Jews who were about to stone him, and the unjust “gods” (human rulers) of psalm 82 who instead of defending the cause of the weak and powerless, defended the unjust and showed partiality to the wicked. They were rulers who knew nothing and walked in darkness. The Lord will judge all the earth, because he is a God of justice, the only God.

    This opinion has nothing to do with their conversation: I think that we can be oppressed by our own thoughts, evil thoughts and demons as well so king David asks God to deliver us from those "wicked". David played his psalter to a king who couldn't sleep...and he slept...

It wont be long, look up and know He is on His way.keep up the good fight fate and win as many as you can,Proverbs 11:30 and sometimes drop your sword to look up to the Father with a smile.1 Timothy 6:12 , 1 Thessalonians 5:16-22
    For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb
    Psalm 139:13,Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was none of them.139:16
    Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
    “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:4-5
    Who can understand his errors?
    Cleanse me from secret faults. Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;Let them not have dominion over me.
    Then I shall be blameless,And I shall be innocent of great transgression.
    Psalm 19:12-13
    SAY THE MIRACLE Repentance PRAYER daily and it will change your life! Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you now and humbly ask for your forgiveness. LORD, I confess that I'm a sinner and I've broken your Holy Law. I realize that the penalty for sin is death. I believe that JESUS CHRIST suffered and died on the Cross to take the punishment for ALL of my sins. I believe JESUS rose from the dead and I accept Him as my personal Savior. From this moment forward I give you my heart and trust you to be the LORD of my life. Please forgive ALL of my sins and send your Spirit to help me do your will. I Love You, Lord Jesus. I Praise You, Jesus. I Thank You, Jesus. I shall follow you every day of my life.
    I thank you for your great love and accept your gift of eternal life, and I pray these things in JESUS name, Amen . Say this prayer faithfully, no matter what you feel, when you come to the point where you sincerely mean each word, with all your heart, something good spiritually will happen to you. You will experience Jesus, and HE will change your whole life in a very special way. You will see. A single saint fights back, and a thousand demons cry in agony. And you are that saint.
    Jesus Will Never Leave Nor Forsake You
    ''Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass.” Ps 37:3-5
    Jesus Christ came into this world to reach those who feel that nobody cares. The Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in Him. The Lord Jesus Christ does care and He is reaching the lonely and the desperate, the confused and the hurt, the depressed and the disillusioned. Jesus Christ is reaching out to you.
