Hanging out in the blogosphere so much, there are those great times that you stumble upon an unforgettable blog. This blog is called Hip hop devotions , intrigued by the title – I pounced on the blog, expecting a blog that glorifies and edifies hip hop as a music genre. Surprisingly it uses hip hop as a medium to glorify Christ — which I think is nothing short of revolutionary. Check out this hip hop snippet which entertained and (more importantly) inspired me. Art is not an end in itself, but god gives it as a gift so that we can fulfill our purpose – to glorify Him in everything we do. Check out this video I found on the blog:
The blog republishes a scripture, posts a short reaction and a related hip hop video. Christian artists, get inspired and learn! Here is a scripture that I saw on this blog post:
Love Love Love Love So Lovely…
There’s more to sex than mere skin on skin.
Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact.
As written in Scripture, “The two become one.”
Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master,
we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment
and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever—
the kind of sex that can never “become one.”
There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others.
In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies,
these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love,
for “becoming one” with another. Or didn’t you realize that your body
is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit?
Don’t you see that you can’t live however you please,
squandering what God paid such a high price for?
The physical part of you is not some piece of property
belonging to the spiritual part of you.
God owns the whole works.
So let people see God in
and through your body.
1 Cor 6:16
Wanna see the scripture the hip hop way?
Praise God for the wonderful works he does through creative people.
All the Israelite men and women who were willing brought to the LORD freewill offerings for all the work the LORD through Moses had commanded them to do…. and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts- to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic craftsmanship. And he has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others. He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as craftsmen, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers—all of them master craftsmen and designers.
G.i.g.a.t.t. Blog (God Is Good All The Time) is a creative movement blog taking note of all kinds of art contributed by lovers of Christ. The only qualifications is that the work be a product of someone living for the Lord (so that’s really between you and Him) and that it be respectful of our varying weaknesses when it comes to this walk of faith. In other words, we won’t be posting Christan belly dancer worship sessions on this very public site. Sorry but, please suggest an alternative!
Other-worldly beauty is welcome. Godly exploration of the gifts and talents lent you…strongly encouraged.
