Pop culture is in constant evolution molded by the people. Over the generations the style of music in the entertainment industry has transformed dramatically. Music styles have evolved from smooth blues, the Beatles, rock, and presently pop and hip-hop/rap. Many rap artists today include themes of money, women, and drugs in their lyrics.

There are all kinds of different genres of music, whether it be Christian, Rock, Rap, or Opera. All cultures around the world have traces of music because it is a part of the human instinct. For me, Christian rap is my favorite genre of music to listen to for many different reasons. Lecrae is by far my favorite rapper because of his outlook and purpose of his songs. Christian rap is starting to become a trend nowadays to most Christians.

Gospel Essentials In today’s society someone’s worldview can have a great effect on the way they live their lives. Christianity is one of the most popular religions, and it teaches the importance of God as our creator. All mankind suffers with the thought of making ethical decisions, and how God wants us to live in the society.
The book of Matthew presents Christ as a descendant of King David. It clearly states that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the foretold in the Old Testament. I firmly believed that Jesus is the Son of God, who came to the world to save people from sin. The scripture tell us in Juan 3:16, “for God so love the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” God love his people so much that he needed to make a relationship with us to provide eternal life for everyone.
Although there have been many translations and interpretations of the Bible over the years, the central messages and teachings of the text have remained largely unchanged. For example, the Old Testament contains many stories familiar to modern Christians, such as the creation of the world, the Ten Commandments, and the story of Noah's Ark.

Anyone who does not understand sin and its poisonous fruits will indulge in it in ignorance, but those who know the power of righteousness will understand their inheritance in Christ. The message of salvation is the message of being saved by God from the destructive power of sin, and the release of the blessing of God upon those the Lord has saved.

It would be difficult for you to understand salvation without understanding what you have been saved from. The gospel of salvation is the gospel of the power of righteousness, it is not the gospel of sin.

The words are bound to my memory forever, “Now I lay my head down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep…” A small gospel tale read to me by my grandmother for my first years of life is my first recollection of loving books in my life. Though I can no longer recall the name of this gospel story that I demanded my grandmother read to me every time I spent the night at her house, I do remember how this book began my walk with Christ and my love for reading. Throughout my almost eighteen years of life I have read a lot of books ranging from nursery rhymes to great works of literature such as A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus is presented as the “Christ, the Messiah” (Mk 1:1 NAB). These are the first words of Mark. However, what does this mean? Through the Gospel, Mark wants to answer this question with several facts. The Gospel is divided in two main sections: first, chapter 1 to 8 shows the human part of Jesus and performing several miracles.
The word “critical” often conjures the incorrect image of negativity. If the Four Gospels are to be analysed critically would this study find loopholes only? This need not be the case, as the Four Gospels, and the Bible as a whole, has withstood the test of time. As a stand-alone text, the Bible has proven its accuracy in its portrayal of events, its authorship, and its date of writing. Though scholars have tried to use both textual and literary criticism to discredit the Four Gospels, there are an equal number of scholars, using these same tools, who have proved that the Four Gospels have an accurate portrayal of events.
