[oXSmile87]

This is awesome!!

[TrinaLee78]

I believe in God! This guy rocks!

[Crhistiansoldier316]

I'm in the Army, but surrendered to the ministry a couple years ago, and whoever says that this video is worthless and stupid needs to quit making a fool of themselves here. Several of my buddies have already started coming to my southern baptist church and reading the Bible because I showed them this video so please let me know how a video helps some of the very worst people come to the cross is a "stupid video" and the makers of it are " either not a Christian or is an apostate"

[killerbee065]

LOLOLOL ur buddies are dumb

[Crhistiansoldier316]

No they got convicted by the Holy Spirit and now they will be going to heaven when they die. Please explain to me how that could be dumb.

[emilybeagle55]

I think that he could reach a lot of people through this, and God doesn't care how you get people to listen about him. He's not being offensive and he's reaching the younger crowd...

[CrimsonBaby11]

*does the burning bush*

mk,tht was WA...Y to much butty all n my face man.

[AgapeYahwehAssai]

This is the worst video ever! Anyone who thinks there is nothing wrong with it is either not a Christian or is an apostate. What is Rick Warren thinking? Give me a break! He is a compromised heretic blind man leading the blind. I pray that God will have mercy on Rick Warren, the makers of this stupid video, and all of you who thinks its cool. I pray that you will repent and come to Jesus before your souls are required of you!

[scubajohn87]

I am a southern baptist Pastor... and you are a retard...... Read the bible and see how Jesus ministered to the multiudes

[AgapeYahwehAssai]

LOL...I'm a retard?? The fact that you are a southern baptist "Pastor" says a lot. I feel sorry for you because no true believer would ever call someone a retard or any other name that is not becoming. You are showing, "Pastor", that your fruit is rotten and should be burned in the fire. I pray you will repent & develop a closer relationship with God Almighty through His precious son, Jesus Christ.

[Shep3055]

Ok well tell me exactly what is wrong with this video?? Seriously, i want to know

[AgapeYahwehAssai]

If you don't know I'm not wasting my time telling you or the other poor, deluded souls who thinks this vid is cool..I'll pray for you instead.

[Shep3055]

No not a waste of time at all, im interested in what you obviously feel is so wrong with this?

[AgapeYahwehAssai]

What's wrong with this video is, 1. it doesn't glorify God, Christ, or the Holy Spirit it makes a mockery of them. 2. Followers of Christ should "grieve not the holy Spirit of God..." (Ephesian 4:30. 3. Followers of Christ are also commanded to "become holy yourselves in ALL YOUR CONDUCT" (1 Peter 1:15). So I have to question, and yes, judge the fruit (Matthew 7:20; 12:33) of a so-called "Christian" who makes such a derogatory video that clearly does not honor God, His Son, or the Holy Spirit.

[Shep3055]

How is this in anyway a mockery of God? Its clearly reaching others, read all of the other comments. So how is this producing bad fruit when its clearly reaching out? And you're definitely not one to judge, you're just as unholy as he or I am. So who are you to judge? For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God

[AgapeYahwehAssai]

These concepts are spiritually discerned. Do you want to come to Christ, become his faithful follower, and trust and rely on Him? If so, after a while, you may understand why this video does not honor Him.

[Shep3055]

See the thing is I am a christian, I have been my entire life. All I see you doing on this whole thing is judging what hes doing when, as I said earlier, is reaching people. This very thing is bringing others to ask questions about Christ and who He really is. Its especially reaching the youth of today and bringing them the one absolute truth in Life, that God loves you and wants to have a relationship with you and has sent His son Jesus to die for you. So once again I ask whats wrong with this?

[AgapeYahwehAssai]

Yea...see a lot of televangelists claim they're Christians too and we know how credible they are, don't we?? There is nothing wrong with reaching people for Christ. Here's a news flash, that's what Christians are supposed to do. The problem I and many others have with this vid is the method used to reach people. Tell me, would you get drunk/use drugs/fornicate with people in order to reach them for Christ?

[Shep3055]

Ok 1.that has nothing to do with anything we are talking about because this video has nothing to do with any of the three things you listed 2. Im not claiming to be a christian, I am one, a follower of Christ so I know what I, as a Christain am called to do and youre defintely not one to judge if Im a christian or not this is all besides the point though, all youre doing is avoiding what ive asked you, so once again whats wrong with this video and/or this method of reaching out??

[AgapeYahwehAssai]

Getting defensive are we? Well, since you claim you are a Christian this conversation is becoming counterproductive and lame. You can continue to argue with yourself and I will continue to pray for you. God bless.

[laurenetti]

Oh and by the way, Jesus used any method he had to in order to reach the multitudes. He ate with prostitutes and tax collectors and hung out with them. Like He said, the healthy don't need a doctor, He came for the sick, the lost. So why is it so sinful to try and appeal to a younger crowd who is lost and headed towards eternal separation from Christ? It is our mission on earth to reach those people, and this guy is doing what he can to do that.

[Shep3055]

The only thing that I would be getting defensive about is the fact that you are judging someones faith which the Bible clearly states in Matthew 7:1-6 not to. But I do applaud you for being able to avoid the question for the past month, good job! My thing is non-Christians get on this, see the video, read your comment and could possibly be shut off because the world already sees Christians as judgmental and they dont need any living proof of that because as Christians we are called to love them!

[mynintendobroke]

@Shep3055 nice..

[laurenetti]

I must have missed the drinking, drugs, and fornication in this video. All I saw was a guy doing what he can to reach lost people. And it is not your place to say whether someone is a Christian or not. Judging someone's faith is a dangerous thing to do. And it appears that you are doing everything you can to avoid the question. What do you specifically think is so sinful about this video?

[AgapeYahwehAssai]

Get - A - Life. Did you miss that?

[laurenetti]

Now that wasn't very Christian of you. Why do you refuse to answer the question?

[MusicLover13213]

HaHaHa this is halariopus if your a christian, this guys great!

[spencerjobes]

hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[godsgirl520]

i love this video!! my youth pastor and pastor are 22 and they showed it to us...they have every single word memorized....and every single dance...its kinda pathtic but really funny to... *do the burning bush do the burning bush* haha

[Utopiang]

Pathetic.

[jadin25]

wow, the most awesome song ever

[mileyluv95]

Hey i love this vid! Just wanted to say to those of you who are wondering about this and what it means, etc... its ok if he says "ho" because i dont think he meant it in the negative way. And if you look at this vid and the words... you can clearly see that his purpose is to glorify God- im guessing he just did it in this way to attract the unsaved teens. Either way- I believe this was entertaining and there is nothing wrong with it... just my perspective :-)

[Lanzivore]

What the fuck.

[xxguitarmanxx1]

LOL this is funny!

[OfacerKhan]

i heard the song that he took the instrumental too on mtv once. anyone know what the real song is

[456charlie]

I'm all for praising God in various ways but too often, what I'm hearing lately sounds more like entertainment instead of pure worship. No reverence of God is anywhere. I understand "ho", it goes back to my day when it didnt' mean that other thing you think of today when you say "ho". Poor choice of words. No thought of His Holiness and what it might potentially bring to the mind of the listener. Sorry, but this vid made me cringe. Worship shouldn't have that effect.

[macromeat]

Well the entertainment business seems to have highjacked religion just to make money from the faithful. They can smell the money and faithfull are not shy in handing over.

[guitarscan]

i know what your saying but you also need to remeber it is an advertisement for a confrence. but if he is singing to the Lord then it is worship. I enjoyed it alot as well as his other songs as a youth leader these videos are great and they atracked teens and adults too. its just another ministry to honor God

[456charlie]

guitarscan, I watched this again just to make sure I wasnt being too hard. Sorry, but I'm not trying to get with nobody tellin me to "drop my behind like the walls of jericho". Worse yet, I tend to take offense with anyone who thinks it's a good idea to put a full view of their rear end in my face. I still say thumbs down. No reverence to God's holiness here, just words that rhyme.

[guitarscan]

but is it unpleasing to God i'm not picking a fight i just see it from a youth leaders point of view and as far as the walls of jericho part and the other dances kids love it and its just a stupid dance move like the sprinkler or the lawn mower. i can see how you can see a negative side but the ministry this guy has effects alot off ppl and its all for the glory of God and its not a praise and worship song in the since the style but i know when i herd it i saw it as another way to worship God.

[wassup471]

My youth group did a 3-part video series on me trying to be made into a rapper like this guy. I'm the whitest person I know.

Love the vid!

[RanderSk8erGirl]

i saw this for the first time at church camp. it is totally awsome!

[toby6rulez]

love the vid man. hope God blesses u in every way man.

[Musicman4Christ]

Great vid!!! If only I could rap like that!

[RavenLavender]

I <3 Josh griffin XD

[18bosox]

Man I love these. I was at a leadership camp last week and we watched these so many times!!!

[erikkaapro]

friend are friends forever

[Littlezombie]

all about promoting the cool of self and pretending to worship God.

what ever happened to falling prostrate on ones face before our Holy God and begging his forgiveness?

oh yeah that is not cool as it promotes God and not our sexy selves...

you all need to take that solid gold bling encrusted king of england and throw him off the throne of your ego...

prideful, self promoting, selfish are great keywords for this vid...

[RavenLavender]

Griffin rocks my socks and blows my noes.

[ProjectSnow]

Break it down Old Testament Style!

[laughsalot04]

this is awsome!!!!

[laughsalot04]

this is awsome!!!!

[erikkaapro]

wow

[ckosho2713]

There is nothing wrong with Christian Rap. God is using it as an instrument to lead people to him that are otherwise turned off by "conventional" ways of outreach. But beware with what you label Christian rap. This isn't Christian rap. This is a humorous intro to a conference. I did find the following wrong, however: "If you think that my rhymes are boring, you can take it up with my boss Rick Warren." I wouldn't call him my boss. God is the Big Boss.

[jbsmrekar]

except that Jake is employed by Rick Warren directly. I thought that was extremely clever. The whole thing. I went to college with Jake and he is an amazing God Fearing man.

[Marielalaura]

No way Satan is trying to stop someone who is twisting the Scriptures like Warren.

[ashleyobsessed]

hey jake it is trinity from church!! this video is really cool... i love the song!!!

[PittViper9]

this is a good way to preach

[shorti147]

This video is hilarious...there is nothing in the Bible that says that worship is done any particular way. granted, i dont always agree with Rick Warren and his ways, but worship is a lifestyle, not a form of music. read "Practice of the Presence of God" by Brother Lawrence. that guy was serious about worship...as a cook.

[shamgar001]

I really don't know why this is so controversial. I just like debating the modern-day pharisees. Few things piss me off more than a person who treats Christianity like a religeon and not a relationship.

[Nemchuck]

Somebody remind me why this video is the cause of a big debate. I see nothing wrong with conferences that encourage people in their walk with Christ. Why can't rap be worship remind me? (not that it's really a worship song) And as for the naked comment, David danced virtually naked in the streets worshiping God, and there was no problem with that.

[shamgar001]

And when you say God has standards for worship, As in your naked example, how do you know he has a problem with that? I've yet to see one scripture referance that says "Thou shalt not sing praise in the nude." (Not that he doesn't know what you look like under there anyway) Does that man it's a sin to sing worship songs in the shower?! Granted, you wouldn't go to church without clothes, but that is in the name of social decency.

[jbsmrekar]

Did adam walk with God in the nude? The reason Adam covered up was because of shame and sin.

[rubixxcube]

only after he ate the apple and it wasnt because of sin more of shame.

[shamgar001]

This song isn't really a worship song in the first place.  It's just a "Hey, I wana welcome y'all to the conferance." Kind of like an ad for people who already bought the product (That's a terrible analogy, but it's the best I have off the top of my head.)

[artanis68]

In the last days beware of false prophets......how this must grieve the heart of Christ who died and suffered on the cross to be mocked by something like this! Is there no sanctity left in the church anymore. Rick Warren - you will stand and give an account before God for your actions and false teachings!

[rubixxcube]

um...shouldnt you like not judge people?dont worry about rick warren and dont watch this.

[artanis68]

Please tell me where a Christian I am not to judge between false teaching and right doctrine. If you have a problem with my statements then you probably have a problem with Paul and Peter throughout the entire book of Acts. The Apostles were constantly confronting the Gnostic's and other false teachers. So I would ask you to make sure what is truth and what isn't.

[rubixxcube]

how is this fales teachings its talking about loveing God and worshiping

[artanis68]

Its the fact that he is neither reverent or respectful to the Lord. This is another perversion by Rick Warren to trivialize the gospel into something not to be taken seriously. Let me ask you this. Let's say your parents were tragically killed and soon thereafter someone made a funny little rap song about their death - would you be offended?? Then why do we think the death and suffering of Christ should be treated in differently?

[tsukasa13sign]

well did you notice its not insulting god. I am full Christian and i really LIKE this video! It's just trying to connect with teenagers in a way they can understand. and, artanis, if you dont like the video, DONT WATCH IT

[artanis68]

Hmmmmm.....where have I heard that before. Let's see Oh yeah its the pornographers that tell us the same thing - don't like it - then don't watch it. How original! How about you do this - instead of watching this irreverent video, how about READING GOD'S WORD - maybe the words of Christ will "connect" with you than this silly video. How does this video connect teenagers to God anyhow?!! Only TRUTH through God's Word will EVER change your heart!

[jmaslyn]

Worship manifests itself in many manners. Just because you disagree with making a silly rap satire to have fun while worshipping does not make it wrong. God does not delineate between one method of worship being more ordained or "better" than another.

[jmaslyn]

You may enjoy singing traditional hymns, another person may find singing songs at all to be fanatical and they just stick to praying to God on their knees in the privacy of their bedroom. It is not your place to judge which method is better than another.

[jmaslyn]

Saddleback Church has reached a HUGE number of people that have been discouraged by the worship methods of other churches. That is what makes Christianity and our God so great. He meets people where they are and allows so many ways to worship Him.

[jmaslyn]

Not trying to instigate any further debates but just offering some food for thought.

(Too long for one comment so I had to break it up haha)

[artanis68]

jmaslyn

If what I am hearing you say is that God doesn't care how we worship Him, its just that we do worship Him. Let's see if we can put this concept to reason and logic. Can one worship God naked? Would you approach God's throne in the buff? Or let's say I wanted to use fowl language in my worship? Granted, I am using some extreme examples here, but my point is God DOES have certain standards for worship. I would recommend reading Old Testament prophets

[artanis68]

such as Ezekial or Jeremiah. Its about the motive of your HEART. Therefore, when I see a satrical video such as this and it proclaims to be worshipping God, I have to think this individual is irreverent and disrespectful to God. When in the prescence of Jesus Christ who hung and died on a cross and you want to crack jokes or make fun of his death,

[artanis68]

then I have to say this person is not serious about the death of Christ, nor does he fully understand its impact. As for your comments that Saddleback is "HUGE" and this somehow justifies your forms of worship, well my friend when does the size of one's congregation matter in scripture???

[artanis68]

ITS ABOUT YOUR HEART AND THE MOTIVES THEREIN. Saddleback does not preach the GOSPEL - A Gospel that is void of repentance is a dead gospel. Instead, Rick W is a "belly preacher" - he preaches to satisify the bellies of men. Not God.

[mitsukaizero]

There's just one difference between a parent dying and Christ dying... Christ didn't stay dead. Rejoice in the Lord!

[KYOHIO]

This is discusting, another big money scam attacking our church,s. Beware!

[rubixxcube]

calm down. beware of what?
