Brothers and sisters, If you are like many of the people I know, you will offend people. You will offend them deeply. The offense will cause them internal distress and maybe pain that they will resent you for. But sometimes God won't be grieved by this. In fact, He'll be pleased.
Off the top of my head I can recall many times when I have offended people. Some of the time afterwards, I confessed and repented of my sin. But then there were other times when I didn't feel remorse, nor did I repent. In fact I praised God for His grace in the situation.
Hold up, before you throw away...

Read Full BioVision has many dynamics. Vision gives us the capability to see objects. It can help guide a lost man down unfamiliar surroundings. It can even turn a blank canvas into a masterpiece. The Scriptures communicate that 'Without vision, people perish'. Any sensible human can comprehend how vision is important. As inhabitants of earth how do we envision life? As people, we are all responsible to see life through the proper perspective. But first we must see our Creator for who He is.
With his sophomore project 20/20, not only does Trip Lee challenge all listeners to evaluate every area of life through the lens of Scripture, but also desires for the listener to have a proper view of God and how they are to relate to Him. Trip set out to encourage seekers, as well children of the King, to see God as He has revealed Himself. In Christian hip hop it is easy to merely focus on the horizontal necessities of the faith. Trip Lee urges us not to forsake the importance of our vertical understanding and worship of Jehovah.
The album 20/20 showcases a more diverse sound from a more mature artist. While serving at a local church and attending Bible college in Philadelphia, Trip has been challenged, not only in his personal growth, but also in his contribution to the growth of others. A southern swagger and love for the East Coast sound brings a unique stylistic mixture and the album satisfies a diverse blend of musical tastes. 20/20 offers the listener everything from southern bass to live instrumentation. There are feature guest appearances from all Reach artists (Lecrae, Tedashii, and Sho Baraka). Flame, JR, Diamone, Cam and shai linne also lend their giftings to his sophomore project. Production credits range from Joe Prielozny (notable Amped Producer), veterans DJ Official and Tony Stone, to promising newcomer G Styles. 20/20 provides the fan with 15 tracks of non-stop banging exaltation.
Music can easily deceive the listener with aspirations of shallow and futile desires. But Trip's primary goal is for the listener to fall more in love with God. Once we have an accurate view of God the Father, Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit, then we can begin intimacy with Him. Trip Lee's prayer is that through the album listeners will be introduced to Christ Jesus and His people will rejoice and reflect on His goodness.

I intend to post Real Vision quotes every now and then for us to reflect on. Here is our first one.
Speaking of a complex and controversial doctrine in his Institutes of the Christian Religion, the great reformer and Pastor John Calvin says this:
"If this thought prevails with us that the Word of the Lord is the sole way that can lead us in our search for all that is lawful to hold concerning Him, and is the sole light to illumine our vision of all that we should see of Him, it will readily keep and restrain us from all rashness. For we shall know that the moment we exceed the bounds of the...

History in the Making
Our generation will never be forgotten. What we are witnessing right now is something for the history books. You probably already know what it is that I'm speaking of, the Presidential election. There may be a black president, or there may be a female vice president. One of these is sure to happen. On top of that, there are already projected to be record turnouts with more young people voting than ever. We are indeed witnessing an historic event.
Our country has been wrapped up in this election for 21 months full of debate and rising tension. I have to admit...

Why 20/20?
Reflections on Psalm 63
For those who don't know, my new album entitled 20/20 comes out soon. It'll be just over 2 years since ITOK when this new album will drop. Feels like forever though! Many people have asked me why 20/20? What's the significance of the title? Just to clarify, it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm 20 years old as some have guessed lol. In this short blog I'll try to briefly explain my reasoning behind the title.
One of my favorite passages in the Scriptures is Psalm 63. There may be nothing else I guard against more in my life than an...

Well first things first. What have I been up to? Way too much! The Lord has blessed me with many many opportunities in these recent months. This summer has been full of opportunities to promote His name. From Texas, to New York, to Cali, to Idaho, to Zambia, Africa. I'm so so grateful for each and every one of those opportunities and the Lord has graciously used a wicked sinner for His namesake within all of these many opportunities. To try and sum this summer up in a paragraph, 13 Letters dropped (curriculum is on the way!), went on a mission trip to Zambia to teach...
