Dell Invites You to the "Thank JESUS Now" Rap Concert!

okay so here is another one of those notes where i'm sure someone will disagree with me...but...it's my blog and i can write if i want to.

i was never a fan of overt churchiness.

if the churchiness is the result of striving to represent christ, i'm all for it.

however, too often CHRISTIAN is equated with CORNY. and that's not always because "the world" thinks it's corny. it's because the quality of our stuff just isn't appealing.

i mean, do you really want to stop what you are doing to go to the "holy ghost fire night" party? or give up your friday night to go to the "super power jesus jam?"

i don't. BARF.

if you do, we can still be friends. but NO i'm not going to the "holy spirit reign night."

and this is coming from someone who is a bit of a geek. i read comic books. i play video games (fighting, rpg, and super mario). i watch anime clips on youtube.

and i STILL would rather be somewhere else than your boring party. yes, the one with the flyer made in microsoft word 99 with all the typos. if the party/ho down/stake night/rap concert is just a cover for your midnight prayer...just SAY that it's a church service.

is that mean? maybe a little. but i believe that worshipping god means we do our best. i think we should set the standard of excellence, because we aren't doing it to reflect ourselves, but to honor christ. and if you want me to spend my money/give my time...do your best to be tight. isn't that fair? i think at times we say, "it doesn't matter because god looks at your heart." true. however, did you actually read how elaborate and precise the directions for the temple were in the old testament? and how jesus went through all that he did to be a perfect and appropriate sacrifice? not a "well, we tried" praise, but an "here's my best effort" praise.

doesn't christ deserve it?

i leave you with some awful rap lyrics that i rewrote to make jesus-y...

...nah i can't even do it. i tried and i threw up.
