Antoine Dodson Chooses God Over Homosexuality

Well, obviously we have the Word of God doing what it’s been said to do!

All kidding aside, Antoine Dodson of ” Bed Intruder Song” fame (I still watch that one to this day!!!) recently drew public attention in a very different way. The previously unashamedly homosexual Antoine stated on Facebook that he no longer wants to be homosexual after reading that it was wrong in the Bible. This has been reported everywhere. Google it! But simply by viewing the headlines alone, it has not been received well at all!

There are people thinking he’s just trying for fifteen more minutes of fame. Some express concern for how many people he’s going to anger. An interviewer even attacked him sarcastically saying, “so you’re just going to pray the gay away!??” In response, Antoine just stood his ground and explained why he did what he did. The Bible. He is reading his Bible.

Now let’s be real. He still has much to learn based on his comments which are somewhat scattered. But the common denominator is the Word of God. He will lose friends, followers, popularity. If he truly desires men he will have to fight temptation daily.

When looking at this story, a few scriptures come to mind.

I Peter 4:3-4 NKJV

For we have  spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.

II Timothy 3:16 NKJV

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

The Word of God is all powerful and can change any who honestly looks into it’s contents and realizes their life does not meet His standard. And when you do change, the world may persecute you. Expect that. But press on.

To Antoine I say, dude, you are on the right track. Keep reading that Word. Study it faithfully. Finish what you have started. God will see that you are seeking.

To the media I say, position this as big news in a good way. Everybody makes a big deal and says someone was brave when they “come out”. It’s so widely accepted. Is it really that brave anymore?

Not everybody will agree with this blog and that’s fine. Just some thoughts from your friendly Christian Music Pusher.

Comments? Let’s discuss.

Lyrical Sunday Sermons #1- Whatever Comes by Andy Mineo

“I wrote this on Good Friday, but why they call it good? An innocent man was beaten and nailed into wood. It’s only through the lens of grace we see who that really should of been hanging from that tree, who the nails should have been put in…me.The only place the world has ever seen complete justice, grace and love meet The innocent One took the blame so I wouldn’t have to. This is good unless you don’t believe the bad news. For the sin you committed just in the last two minutes you deserve God’s holy and just wrath dude. So let me ask you, you ever regret something like a tattoo of the name of your last boo? Sin is so deep, all up in your skin Like the sin that you try to delete. Cry and you weep, But unless the Christ died and He rise to His feet and ascended into the sky then our hope is obsolete”

“whatever comes” by Andy Mineo

I want to highlight the part where he says the good news is only good unless you don’t believe the bad news. Someone only can truly appreciate and seek Jesus once the realize their NEED for Jesus. That they are in sin, separated from God and Jesus is the only way to get back to God. Just a thought from your Christian Music Pusher.

Illest Christian Hip Hop Collab EVER “Lecrae – Misconception ft. Propaganda, Braille, Odd Thomas

Propaganda, Braille, Odd Thomas and Lecrae give one of the hottest feats of Christian lyricism while dispelling many myths about christianity. Check out the lyrics and then the song itself. You can get this from Lecrae’s “Church Clothes” mixtape.

This song is very informative too. See Odd Thomas’ verse….my personal favorite!

“Misconception”(feat. Propaganda, Braille, Odd Thomas)
Lyrics found at http://www.azlyrics.com

[Verse 1: Propaganda]Slang came from a land where they suffer from the effects of depravity like gang bangin’ and earthquakes.Most famous no namers split a brain and plant a taste for the King of kings. I know it’s a strange concept.Pedalin’ redemption boy what more can I say make me and Lecrae been trying to make Him famous since ninety three.Fillin’ these 58′s with phrases that would deem us unfit to succeed among these heathens.It’s so crucial in the belly of the crucible that you would understand that stage like your morning candle.It’s handin’ out cancer that’s why fame was never the aim and the back is the front – homie left side up!That’s a concept

Misconception
Those deadly habits have me losin’ my cool…It’s what your frame of mind has chosen.I’ll leave your brain stimulated…

[Verse 2: Braille]So many mis… conceptions- missin’ the mark- mis-directed- drivin’ reckless and aggressive Fueled by our false perceptions- our methods need corrections-Spittin venom in their face and violate the ones we should protect it’s an attempt to motivate Neglect our obligations place the blame on someone else point out the flaws in other people and take the focus off ourselvesThose who have been abused – view leadership as illegitimate so they don’t think it’s necessary to play by the rules or submit They see authority as nothin’ more than a power-trip – they don’t want to be plugged into itThey’d rather see that power stripped – get it? Power strip… It’s unfortunate Disproportionate the door is wide open for false teachers to twist the truth and distort it No examples left to follow left to our demise actin’ foolish but can’t see it so we’re wise in our own eyes The life and crucifixion of Christ is a beautiful depiction of service and submission – within a leadership position

[Verse 3: Odd Thomas]You probably have it all figured out, right? Like your the type that believes that if you act right then that just might make you righteous in God’s sightYou’ve been a really good person, you followed the good book as much as you could, you probably didn’t go to church as much as you should, but it’s all goodI mean you never really killed anybody, never really steal from anybody, you never lusted much, or did much, touching of any bodies.You never use the Lord’s name in vain, and you respect you neighbor, you try to maintain peace, love your enemies and not hold on to angerYou really believe that you could receive God’s favor by your good deeds and right behaviorBut you’re dead in your transgressions and need a savior Cause you could never win God’s approval with the removal of sinful discretions – your righteous acts of removing God’s wrath is in fact the biggest misconception…

[Verse 4: Lecrae]Since my conception I’ve been riddled with deception Televised lies devised to lead a blind insurrection Against the resurrection – and the greatest misconception the world believes the Christian is foolish without direction.And they knock it they knock it but what does it profit a prophet to be socially ostracizing no we ain’t stoppin’ the mocking But if there is anything I can do to raise the stock in the market for a Biblical worldview then there’s no longer an option Here with the humble beast, ain’t no subtleties, ain’t no tongue in cheek, this is what I mean, they don’t understand anything about the faith I believe, and they want to belittle me But it’s cool though. They just know the pseudo, the fake faith, the false one, the western God that’s man made, not the Biblical Awesome Toss em’ – Pick up the Reasons for God by Timothy Keller and read it, there is a God you should believe in and his name is Jesus…

Dance Out Your Faith with These Songs!

Being an artist myself, I kept thinking about it! What if someone made Christian dance music?? Like David Guetta or Calvin Harris, but with Christian themes and content? That would be crazy. I’m gonna do it! Well, a few artists have made it happen and music fans like myself have been the beneficiary of it! Here are a few artists that are in my rotation right now!

Britt Nicole – “Amazing Life”

Britt Nicole

Britt Nicole

I discovered Britt Nicole listening on Pandora Music and started to take notice. She has released quite a few albums that seem to perfectly mix pop music and Christian themes almost seamlessly! “Amazing Life” can be heard on her latest effort “Gold” now available.

Capital Kings

Capital Kings


Capital Kings – “I Feel So Alive”
Creating remixes for artists from Britt Nicole to Group1Crew, these kids are definitely out to make some noise for the Lord. After hearing thier remixes, I wondered what they could create on thier own. This song is off of  their debut, “Capital Kings”.

Beckah Shae

Beckah Shae


Beckah Shae “Incorruptible”

Beckah Shae keeps on pushing the boundaries of Christian music with ballads, hip-hop soul, even singing over acapella beat boxing with “Scripture Snacks”. Google her! She is nice! Her latest joint is called “Incorruptible” and it a monster that should follow Rihanna on the radio. But this song reminds us of God’s promises through Jesus!



Group1Crew

Group1Crew


Group1Crew – “Freq Dat”

Group1Crew, the Christian version of the Fugees (for the old heads) or the Black Eyed Peas (for the newbies). No, this one isn’t really talking about Christian content, but that’s what they do! This record is a clean party record minus the get-drunk, get-high content. Check out thier latest album “Fearless” for songs like “His Kind of Love” that talks about the love Jesus has for us. Rock to this one!



Press Play

Press Play


Press Play – “Just Like Lightning”

Stumbled upon these kats listening on Pandora! Not sure what direction they go, but it’s all energy and outspoken devotion to God. They’ve releasd a few albums. Check out their catalog on iTunes. Their latest album is called “World Anthem”.

Yes! The first installment from your friendly Christian Music Pusher! Let me know what you think about these songs! There are more out there like Plumb “Don’t Deserve You” from her album “Need You Now”. That’s it for now. Stay tuned and be blessed!
