"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes." (Romans 1:16 ESV)Last night, I got to witness a sold out US Airways arena in Phoenix worship and sing praises to our King, the Lord Jesus Christ. Several great bands performed on stage last night, but one man and his team highlighted the evening - Reformed Hip-Hop artist, Lecrae. His unashamed performance directed the hearts of thousands to the One True Artist worthy of praise. If you are unfamiliar with Lecrae then look him up (here's a start: http://reachrecords.com/artists/show/Lecrae). For those of you already familiar with Lecrae, I'm hear to proclaim personally that the man behind the music is exactly the man you would expect from the content.
Blake and I were graced with the opportunity to hang with Lecrae for a good part of the afternoon before the show. This hang-time was actually not pre-arranged. It just kind of happened that way, but I feel blessed that it did. It's always encouraging to hang with men who share your love for Jesus and want to use their God-given gift to the best of their ability all for the honor and glory of the One who gave them the gift. Through the Spirit, Lecrae is redeeming hip-hop and restoring it to its proper place as an instrument of worship to the One who created it. Praise Jesus for His power displayed in the life and leadership of a humble artist named Lecrae. Thank you Lecrae for your devotion and love for our King. May God continue to grant us all wisdom and discernment regarding our stewardship of His gifts and deliver us all from the temptations that come with the territory.
With peace and unashamed thanks to Jesus,
Terry

It is powerful and encouraging to know a dude that is so influential and impacting is a real man of faith. I am sure that there is a reason God continues to bless the career of Lecrae.
Keep it coming and keep giving us words to encourage our faith that can be played a high decibels-
