Ortho-rap!

Listen to this!

Last week I said I didn't quite understand, nor would I anticipate ever liking Christian rap. I don't think the rap purists would consider the above really" rap," but it's interesting nonetheless. I've listened to it once through, and I don't think I can specifically hate it.

I'll draw the distinction though.

It's not worship. It's not ministry. It's diversion. Diversion is important, but not the basis of Christian ministry. The Praise and Worshipping...charismatics say we need hip Christian music to bring people to Christ, but the Gospel speaks for itself without gimmicks. The objective of any Orthodox ministry would be to bring people to the proper worship of Christ as given to us.
