A Message For Reformed Rappers by Paul Washer - Part 1

The work and ministry of sermonindex can be encapusalted in this one word: REVIVAL. sermonindex is not a organisation, buiness, or any attempt by man to build something for God. It is rather a expression of a heart burden to see the Church revived and brought back to holiness, purity, and power with God. "The mission of SermonIndex is the preservation and propogation of classical vintage preaching and the promotion of genuine biblical revival to this generation."

God gives us many different gifts, as long as we use these gifts to bring Glory to God and not to ourselves then people will hear the message the gospel

[Choobinator]

i like Christian metal like becoming the archetype, and rap like lecrae and trip lee.

God can use anything for His plan, don't put Him in a box and say worship music is limited to slow paced, feminine music!

let there be no division between the body of Christ, please understand God is using Christian rappers to reach out to many who would otherwise not hear the gospel.

Btw hes talkin about the album Theology Meets the Streets some should hear it before commenting.

[fabiandelgado8]

Just some thoughts. I agree with this music only if its not used for worshipping God. This music should be used to evangelize the rap and hip-hop culture. What do you guys think?

[aaroncoal28]

Can someone tell me which rappers he was speaking to?

[israelflow]

Si alguien puede traducir esto seria genial!

@gsmiro The content doesnt remain the same. If they kept speaking of killing and sex and demons then you would be right. As is, I dont like alot of the "christian" rap that is out there . ., . they import the same attitude and the content shits from killing ppl to killling demons. THESE ARE NOT THESE SAME KINDS OF ARTISTS. Your criticism is valid toward others, but not the reformed christian rap commuinty. Do you use knives? one of the original intentional usage ws slaying animals for paganism

[jdlaforce]

@gsmiro Actually they are not. Why? because the thing under examination is MUSIC . .. music was created PRIOR to rap hip hop . . . so, sorry, but your reasoning doesnt hearken back far enough. My point remains.

But lets take the union of David and Bathsheeba, birthed in sin (murder and adultery) . . . if ever there was a case for the destruction of the unholy, this is it. Yet God redeems the relationship and even uses it to bring forth the one to build the temple. Sorry dude. God redeems

[gsmiro]

@jdlaforce Yes, He saves sinners everyday and then He changes us! But do you notice He doesn't save everything He created? He didn't save the angels He created! Why would He save something music He didn't create? Does God accept human sacrifice? Does God allow fornication as a form of worship? Does God ask us to burn our babies to worship Him? Does God ask us to mutilate our bodies in sacrifice? If God doesn't accept those things satan came up with, why would He accept rap and hip-pop?

[gsmiro]

@jdlaforce Your analogies are incorrect. Microwave, car, and other practice tools are invented and created for neutral purposes, to improve life in general. Rap and hip-pop originated from the devil (definitely NOT from God), to corrupt human souls and spirits and to solicit worship from men. Yes, God saves wicked humans and TRANSFORM us! He transforms us so that we will NOT even look like what we are before! Remember Moses?  He doesn't look like he was before he went into God's presence!
