Call them cheesy, kitschy, superficial if you must, but there are some pieces of “culture” (aka guilty pleasures) in our lives that we secretly love. ABBA is always a good one. The Brady Bunch. People Magazine. The above scene would probably qualify, too.

There are parts of “Godspell” that are just so over-the-top that I can’t help but laugh, but I also can’t help but watch. I think I’m going to use this scene in my sermon this Sunday as I encourage people to throw caution to the wind and risk following Christ even if it looks silly or cheesy. Perhaps some would even call their faith a guilty pleasure. That’s OK. There may come a day when they can tell the world that, yes, they love a movie like “Godspell” and they love Jesus, too.
