HH Artists

Christian Hip-Hop Lyrically Throwing Stones?

I ask, are the secular rappers, drug dealers, strippers, and even murderers directly opposing God in their right minds, or are they simply among the lost? When we stand on platforms and mock these people’s actions are we not lyrically throwing stones at them? Who among us is without sin, and is therefore qualified to throw a stone at a sinner? Finally, would we continue our lyrical assault on these individuals if Jesus started to write our past sins on the floor in front of us, or would we leave in shame?

My mind travels now to the rapper Cassidy who has professed that he is now a Christian. In the past we had no desire for him but now we’re praying for him and telling to be encouraged in the Lord. Can our new attitude be perceived as hypocritical instead of loving?

Christians I believe we have meek personalities, hearts and natures. However I am starting to realize that true meekness transcends beyond mere demeanor and extends into our very words and actions. I believe that when we are truly meek and preach to the lost of the world without any measure of threatening or challenging the world will then truly listen and sincerely respond.

To conclude, I wrote this article with no assumption that I knew something that you did not. These words are simply the thoughts placed on my heart. I would like to hear your thoughts. Should all HHH artists stop calling secular people lames and frauds. Should they stop speaking to the presupposed final damnation of these people? Should they just always rap saying Jesus loves you and he wants you to come home? I’m looking forward to reading your thoughts and ideas.
