Article Title: America's Holy Hip-Hop

Comment: To those who reject holy hip hop/gospel rap, I submit to you that churches in America decline when there is no spiritual growth or revival present. They also decline spiritually, though not necessarily numerically, when sound doctrine falls by the wayside and doctrines of devils begin to be taught. Some of the big mega-churches are known for false teachings, yet they're growing by leaps and bounds. It seems that Scripture on itchy ears (2 Timothy 4:3) has come to pass. I said that to say this. This music isn't demonic. If it is, then Jesus lied when He said Satan's kingdom can't stand if its divided (Matthew 12:25-26). If holy hip hop/gospel rap is so ungodly, why is it being so powerfully used to bring the lost to salvation in Christ? Is it really giving in to worldliness? Is it really the same as liberationist theology? Are people who only sing hymns in church more holy than those who like the 'new' gospel music? What about how they dress? You can be modestly dressed and still have the heart of Satan. Last time I checked, legalism has no place in God's house. Only trusting in Jesus will we get to Heaven, regardless of musical taste.
