Hip hop Devotions

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.

in AAW? ArT AtTacK Weekend 5/30-6/01.

So, to recap…

Thanks to all who attended our latest Art Attack Weekend =)

Here’s a looooong story short:

Open Mic: short but very sweet.  rap, poetry, music, song, improvised group “floetry”. (heh). cozy, intimate, fun.  Thank you all for attending!

Chalkboard mural: eh. The chalkboard’s maw is wide open, waiting to be fed with some ka-razy artastic creations.  Whoever’s game, leave your mark (but make sure it’s of the kid-friendly variety.)

Creative Cold Cuts: fun!  I made a duck and ate it. (I was hungry.) Others did some fun stuff with bologna, cheese and other edible medium. Then we made up a cake-t0-g0 with custom frosting.

Art in the Park: YaY! Very relaxed with a lil’ painting, a lil’ writing, a lil’ eating and lil’ guitar strummin.  Was a beautiful day and a great ending.  People made new friends, and that’s a good thing…as Martha would say.

I wasn’t able to run around and take my own pics, but hope to rectify that next time.

Til then, folks.
