The problem is always sin, and the answer is always the Gospel.

If you aim for only wealth, beauty, fame, & power, you aim too low. Humility, gentleness, gratitude, & service is aiming high.

Believe the best about people. Pray for their short comings. You are not the standard. We all need grace.

For me, Christianity is not a genre. It's faith. The Gospel is not a genre either. It's faith. I definitely understand the semantics of naming things to give them some kind of distinction but I think my faith is pretty distinct. If you want to call it hip hop, essentially it is. That's the art form.

When you care about the culture, you can stop, pause, and say, "Okay, where do I stand in the midst of this all?"

Don't fool people to think you are better than who you are. Instead of trying to act changed, pray that you will be changed.

Hip hop - it's an art form but it's a culture as well. You grow up in the culture and you never leave it. It's a style of dress; it's a way of thought. I always grew up in the culture, and it was part of who I was and I carried it into every world I was in.
