Anyone ever wrote a song about you?

Came across this video this morning. I don't care all that much for "Rap" music. But when the song pretty much is written about YOU, you have to like it, or maybe I don't like it as the conviction is pretty overwhelming, at least for me.

This from an artist that goes by Lecrae. From the article I read, he doesn't get much play on Christian radio, but he does have the #8 album on the secular Hip Hop chart right now. He has it going on. He is using the talent that God gave him for great things. Maybe he will make big time or maybe he won't. But from listening to some of his music as long as he is glorifying God, that is all that matters to him.

All you really need is Jesus

A few month ago there was a skit that was performed for the youth group at my church. It shows how awesome the love God has for us. Here is a video of the same skit performed at a Lifehouse concert with the band playing along. This same song was played during the skit I saw in person. The reaction from the crowd in this video at the end is the same I experienced, with all the adults included. Wasn't a dry eye in the room...

When you get down to the basics, all we ever need is Jesus, the rest is just temporary.

It's been a week, and I've been weak...

I can't believe it has been a week since I've posted here. Sometimes life gets in the way, I get lazy, or I just don't seem to care as much. I have been busy for the last week. I have a lot going on and some of it is now over. I have a lot more coming at me next month. I'm not worried though, God is with me and I'm pretty much in contact with Him all the time, although I'm severely messing up all day long. :) But I know he is there!

But what really brings me up when life gets me down is Chrisitian Music. I truly believe that God sometimes helps people write a song that they can turn to, to help lift them up and bring them closer to Him. Here is one I really like.
