Go and Sin No More

Our God is amazing for so many reasons. Yet one of the most important of these is His grace.

What does that mean? Grace.

It is something given to you although you do not deserve it. Nothing you or I can do merits this favor, mercy, grace.

We sin. Sin deserves death.

Consider the adultress in John 8

John 8:3-11 KJV

And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

This woman deserved death but Jesus stepped in and saved her. I feel this parallels the way Jesus stepped in and saved us by dying on our behalf. Powerful!

But go and sin no more! Grace is not a free sin pass!

I am guilty of that and I’m sure we all struggle. But thanks be to Christ for His wonderful plan and grace…amazing grace indeed.

Music time! One of my favorite Kirk Franklin joints!

New Album You Should Get- Listen to Dre Murray – Pharoah

image

Get to know Collision hip hop artist Dre Murray. His new album Gold Rush  features wonderful production that create a backdrop to life stories.

Not big on direct Christian commentary, but definitely recommended for the Christian that wants that good street hop without the profanity and negative content. Give it a listen.

Love, peace and hip hop,

When You Don’t Relate Anymore..”Sho Baraka – Peter Pan [Talented 10th] @amishobaraka”

I relate to this song so much. As I get closer to Jesus I find that rappers and artists I used to be into don’t move me anymore…

I grew up perhaps. idk. As I listened to the newest Jay-z album, I’m impressed yet I’m over it. I can’t enjoy the negativity. No disrespect, but the content doesn’t match with my spiritual mindset.

Sho Baraka hit the nail on the head with this song Peter Pan . He talks about how he and his favorite rapper fell apart.

Hip hop, you’re close to fifty. When can we grow up?

Listen and let’s discuss…blessings from CMP

Great Lessons for Kids – Veggie Tales, God Loves Me

image

Teaching your kids how to be godly is a worthy undertaking. You can teach them by living the life Jesus teaches in His word in their presence. But it’s nice to have tools like this book. It teaches great concepts like thinking before you speak. I bought this from Family Christian Stores in Mission Hills. My son is five and he is grasping the concepts.

Parents check this out! Good spiritual food for your children. Just a tip from your friendly Christian Music Pusher.

Enjoy my personal fave from Capital Kings. Blessings!

God Gives the Increase: @Lecrae’s Humble Facebook Post

image
I just read this from Lecrae on his Facebook wall and frankly he took the words out of my mouth. I’ve also noticed the comments left by fans.

We simply cannot base our faith on another man’s faith nor raise anyone doing God’s work on any pedestal! Lecrae being the most visible Christian artist right now faces a challenge. And he addresses it beautifully I think.

Let’s look at a few scriptures and then I’ll let Crae take it from there.

1 Corinthians 3:5-7 KJV

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

Lecrae posted:

I’m pretty sure my Facebook feedback is enough for 2 complete chapters in a book. Lol. People are worried about so many of my moves as if anyone else’s moves mean less. I’m not more special in Gods eyes because of my platform. I think many are worried I’ll let them down. There isn’t a person alive that WONT in some way let you down. That’s why Jesus (not Lecrae) should be your hope.

Has “fame” gotten to me?! Lol.

I have a hard time saying I’m even remotely “famous”. Kanye West is famous, Katy perry is famous, I’m just…Lecrae. Then of course I’d have to ignore the various times people spot me out in public and tell me stories of how encouraged they are at what God is doing thru me & the thousands of people who show up at concerts. I get it. I just have a hard time accepting it. You have to understand years ago when I just rapping on street corners and the local halfway house, I could have cared less about being in a magazine. I wanted to impact people not impress people. Now I have to stand back and wonder who’s really impacted and who is simply impressed. Not necessarily impressed with my gifts but with the illusion of fame they perceive I have. I’m just a man with flaws, misconceptions and a murky lens that God is clearing up daily. Love to you all!

Thanks for sharing, Crae. Readers,share your thoughts. CMP out!!

Oops! Forgot about the music! Classic Crae.

Lyrical Sunday Sermons – Isaac Carree “Chances”

Isaac sings of a dilemma many of us face trying to live the life of a Christian. We sin and put ourselves in harms way. Then we tell God something like, if you get me out of this, I will…

Then we do it again!

God has grace but we mustn’t use is as a pass to sin.

Romans 6:8-18 KJV

Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

It will be a challenge and we have opportunity to be right with God as long as we have breath. But we must realize that our goal should be to live for Jesus to the very end.

Our chances run out at the end of this life.

Enjoy the song! Love, Christian Music Pusher.

Chant Down Babyon: Papa San

papasan

So in my desire for good music focused on Christ, I have thought about all the different kinds of music I like and wished for an artist like that. I came across Papa San looking at Kirk Franklin’s Gospocentric record label site. I’m not sure if he is still on that label, but I never bothered to listen to him until recently on Pandora. And this dude is GOOD! Not sure if I should trust Wikipedia, I just learned this guy was raised Rastafarian and converted to Christianity.

REGGAE GOSPEL? We mostly associate this genre of music with Rastafarianism which I researched in college for a music project. Reggae and specifically Bob Marley brought this belief system to the world thorugh this music. Now Christians have taken this style of music and are using it to glority Jesus.

Okay, I promised I wouldn’t talk too much on these blogs. Check out a few songs from Papa San that I came across and let me know what you think.

His most recent effort is called My Story which can be purchased at: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/my-story/id514475722

Enjoy something shared with you by your friendly Christian Music Pusher! Blessings!!!

Comments Please! What Would Jesus Tell Yeezus?

image

I waited and waited and even did a little research because I wanted top see if there was a logical explanation for this album title -to no avail. With a reputation for being vain firmly established, this now seems to be expected, especially when you run with one bold enough call himself hova. The response is a bunch of fans using disrespectful comments to praise this action. Anybody bothered?

Yeezus. Really?

Let’s entertain explanations. Which one gives one the right to try and put themselves anywhere near the creator? The alpha and omega? The all powerful?

None.

It’s not my call to judge but I will say it’s not safe. It’s too risky and highly narcissistic.

God has a special view of he who exalts himself. He humbles them. How fearful it is to be humbled by God. Trust me! I know!

But maybe he has a good explanation. Maybe I missed the point totally.

I am trying to be as non judgmental as possible here.

What would Jesus tell Yeezus about his album title? What are your thoughts?

Cmp out!
