• Saint K (Jan 21st at 1:12 PM) Thanks Lecrae. Great perspective, it really shows me how racist, judgmental, and lame I am.
  
  "Have our views on race, culture, and class been crucified on the cross and born again with a new perspective?" A call for my life for sure.
• Jeremy (Jan 21st at 4:53 PM) Wow...
  That is so true man
• n.a. me (Jan 21st at 6:06 PM) "...having the same mind being one in spirit and purpose..."
  Philippians 2:2
• Alex (Jan 21st at 6:30 PM) Thank You.
• DR (Jan 21st at 10:03 PM) "We have ignored the Christians (our family) in our dorm who go to that OTHER bible study." - MMM! AMEN.
• Big Baby (Jan 22nd at 12:18 PM) I definitely agree Lecrae. I also wanted to mention the reverse racism in our culture as well. It seems at times that this nation has a double standard when it comes to racism. For example, the gentleman who spoke at Obama's inauguration (the yellow to be mellow, the red man to get ahead man, and "the white to choose what is right." What is that? If whites would have said something along those lines regarding african-americans, this place would be in an uproar. God bless all of God's children. End the hate and the racism, regardless of who is guilty of it.
• jMark (Jan 22nd at 1:41 PM) Hey Big Baby, I think you got the quote a little messed up. Here is what he said:
  
  Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man, and when white will embrace what is right.
  
  But you are right, if a white person said this, it would be over-analyzed to the detriment of the speaker.
• Angel (Jan 22nd at 2:51 PM) yeah!

• acronym (Jan 25th at 1:30 PM) ya great massage,lecrae never ceases to amaze.but i think that the reason us as christians arent moved yet is because we dont know who we really are in christ(me included)lets not doubt whether or not we are christians coz we are,christ loves us,we are engraved on the palm of his hands(isiah),no one will snatch us out of his hands(john 10),nothing can seperate us fro his love(romans),God is not willing that anyone should perish what does it take for us to understand how much christ loves us,how are we going to preach about christ when we doubt our salvation,how are we going to preach Gods love when we still doubt as to whether or nt we are really loved.we talk about the work of the spirit but we are still trying to change on our own,until we understand who we are in christ and who other people are in christ(Gods children)we will never get past the talking to the practical art of love.iam reading a biblically solid book that will change your view on yourself and others its really helped me,its called victory over darkness by niel anderson,please read it if you havent yet read it.in christ we are unconditionally loved and accepted and so is everyone else,no one is more deserving than the other,we often dont choose the situations we are in,but in spite of everything we are all loved,and only when we really start to get a grasp of Gods love can we begin to love him and others inspte of their personnality,race or background.peace and may the grace of our lord jesus be with ya'll
• Big Baby (Jan 27th at 11:44 AM) I just wanted to point out something to the christians out there. This past election has been made into a race issue. It is not a race issue. It is choosing a great leader issue. It just so happens that Barack Obama is black. I understand that having a black president is a huge leap from where this country has been. I don't begrudge anyone anywhere who is thrilled at the fact that an African American has reached the top position in this country. I am thrilled that America's views have changed for the better. However, I want to inform christians everywhere who are Pro-Obama. I am not anti-Obama, I am anti-Obama policies. Please don't forget that Obama is a supporter of Pro-Choice, and that he also has opened the borders for foreigners to come in to have abortion procedures. I don't care what color our president is, but I do care about the sanctity of life. Swearing on the bible and using bible references are a show to make him fit in with mainstream America. Obama is the president, and I hope that he does an excellent job. But please don't glorify him as if he is the saviour.

• Lecrae (Jan 27th at 9:34 PM) Great posts guys. I recommend you come out to Memphis during the Rising jointherising.com
  Also there is a curriculum surrounding this issue at Christian Book stores title Red Revolution by my man Adam "AT" Thomason. Go check it out!
• Your Saved Brother (Feb 3rd at 11:45 AM) I cannot tell you how much you CD "Rebel" has meant to me. It has helped me turn back to Jesus. All the songs have encouraged me more than you could ever know. Thank you.

• Ashley (Feb 7th at 12:05 AM) Thanks Lecrae. I can't wait to see you in Panama City Beach, Florida!!!
• Daniella (Feb 10th at 2:15 PM) Thats so true!shows me how far behind i am in my new life...time to work on it..God bless!
• Odette (Feb 10th at 10:11 PM) I believe the young radicals are among us, among us in schools where they are tempted, in homes where they just go to church because that is what is done on Sundays. If their parents aren't radicals for Christ, than what happens to these radicals, their examples are not radicals!
• Erlend (Feb 13th at 2:36 PM) Evrything you say is so right! Thank you! You got the truth of life Lecrae.
  
  And I wondering if you could come here to Norway and have a consert, then I would be Very happy :)
  
  God bless evryone in ReachRecords :D
• Julius (Mar 6th at 10:06 AM) Hey lecrea, this has nothing to do with the blog but me and my brother were discussing your song Indwelling sin from the rebel album and he thinks your refering to an actual old friend of yours, but i think our refering to sin itself. can you let me know which it is plz. thank alot.

• JV (Apr 20th at 9:09 PM) LECRAE!! Hey man, You need to come over to Ohio. I dont see it on your DWYL Tour.
• Kenneth Moore (May 22nd at 11:39 AM) A i hope somebody look a my message. I really enjoy the Gospel rap i believe that it's making a inpact; because this is a part of what keeps me going being that i am a babe in Christ. It's feels good to know that i am not alone in this quest; but real talk we need to get ya'll to come to Iowa because we have believers here to. Please reply and let me know something man because all your location are a bit far from me. May God bless you even if you just take a look at this thank you Thanks!

  My name is Kelly but i mostly go by KMY. I'm 19 years old and I currently go to the University of Maryland. I have always been a "christian" but not until this year have I began to really walk. I rededicated my life to Christ after being delivered from homosexuality, sexual perversion, depression, man you name it I dealt with it this year. I Thank God that Jesus is so faithful and so AWEEESSSOME because the devil had his plans, but Jesus had bigger plans for my life OKKKAYYYY!!?
  
  Before I was saved I had horrible stage fright, now I will be attending Berklee College of Music for Voice and Audio Engineering
  
  Before I was saved I dealt with sexual perversion, but now I'm being used to go back and minister too old friends who are still dealing with it.
  
  Before i was saved I was a miserable person, BUT NOW I AM SOO ON FIRE IT ANNOYS EVERYONE!!!!! LOL I LOVEEE ITTT!! JESUS IS SO TIGHT I DON'T THINK THIS BOX IS EVEN BIG ENOUGH FOR ME TO SAY ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED JUST BECAUSE I HAVE CHOSEN CHRIST INSTEAD OF THIS SINFUL DEAD BLIND WORLD!
  
  Anyway, this year has been a spiritual boot camp. I've been doing bible studies with a group on my campus called BCF Bethel Campus Fellowship where we have bible study, chill nights, I started a I-pod Clean out Day, we have performance shows, mentors, it's just an awesome atmosphere for young students who are trying to grow in Christ and the ministry is really focused on raising up reliable women and men of Christ. Anyway there is a point to this message!!!! lol
  
  I'm moving to Boston in August to go to Berklee College of Music against all odds. ( I can't read music, my audition was horrible because I lost my voice and was nervous, ect) No one wants me to go, but God is truly calling me to go,,,,SO WHO AM I TO SAY NO!!! It's time to drop my net and start fishing for men OKAY!!! lol anyways. The only issue is that I'm leaving everything and everyone I know and love, and I'm VEERRRRY NERVOUS because I've been informed that the major religion at Berklee is :MUSIC NAW MEAN!
  
  Now as I said before, I also used to be on music very heavy, but after I was saved I stopped listening and making secular music, which was the best idea ever, I've grown so much in Christ because of it. now i bang with ya know that new Lecrae cd, Trip, Isreal and New Breed, Shekinah Glory, J.R, ya know those folks. I already have to buy a new ipod cuz my old ones full which is a testamony in itself HELLO!!!!SO anywho, now if I truly want to be a good soldier for Christ next year, which is a totally foreign environment.., where should I begin as far as the music and ministry goes.
  
  I have 2 cds out already just mixtapes or whatever, but I've gotten to the point where it's not about the music or myself anymore, I want to get deeper in Christ so the music begins to be used for discipleship and advancing the kingdom.
  
  
  So here is what I'm asking:
  1. Advice for starting a ministry in a foreign school with foreign people
  
  2. Advice on whether I should stop making music for a while and just try to get deeper in my word and then when I feel I'm deep enough (when ever that will be lol) start writing or should I just keep on doing what I'm doing which is staying in the word every day and then writing when ever it comes to me?
  3. Does Reach Records have any mentors because I really need one soooooo bad!!!! I have so much to learn I'm so hungry for Christ he's so amazing I just don't want to mess up anything. I'm at a point where no compromises will be made! I'm been brought through too much to turn back now! It's time to be 100% Christlike! I want ppl to see Christ in my life, my music, my words man Everything!!man o man we are about to have church in this message box!!! lol
  
  
  So anywho I'm sorry if I'm confusing but I'm just so excited about Life these days I just can't turn it off! ight hope to hear from you soon. Sorry for spelling eras I'm doing three million things right now.
  
  God Bless

• Joe (Jun 8th at 10:24 AM) Hey I just went to the Woodbridge DWYL tour... I was so blessed, thanks so much for giving God alone all the glory.
  
  116 for life!
• (Jun 9th at 11:06 AM) Man I agree I am hardcore with Christ and not ashamed of it, I am outreaching im my community, The DC area. I just went to the DWYL tour in Woodbridge and that put in perspective of what I have to do, in my walk. From what I seen it will not be an easy road but God is with me, and 116 and Flame you guys truly live your rhymes excellent what you guys did after the show, comeback and talk to people more about Christ. I was there and Ive seen it. The Walk is not easy but its not impossible with God , stay encouraged.
• Kateri (Jun 19th at 11:42 PM) This was my first time hearing Lecrae minister in speech. I am a born-again Christian, baptied in the fire of God's Spirit and even though I have His spirit....this message spoke to me and ministered to my heart just like when I first believed. Prise God! LeCrae is a great vessel of God and I thank the Lord for allowing his heart to be daily ministered to and life brokn to his will to do God's Will.
  I can hear this Word and die some more to my own will in order to obtain the Promise that Jesus died and sat at the right hand of The Almighty Father for.
  I thank the Lord for calling me out of Darkness!
• lai (Jun 26th at 6:52 PM) @KMY - Don't you go to church? Why would you not go to your local church to ask advice about these issues? This is the right way and the best way because you can meet with people face to face and also grow to know them and have good fellowship.
  
  @Kateri - you say you are baptized in the fire, I hope not because that verse refers to the judgment of God upon all those that reject him. Just thought I would point that out.
  
  About the post in general I think that the biggest reason is that our love is not enough, do we love the Lord Jesus?, do we have the type of love that it breaks our heart to see lost people around us in our daily life. Love is part of the fruit of the Holy Spirit, we can gauge our spiritual life by this and it will translate into a passion to serve him. We will be known by our fruit right? The fruit of the Holy Spirit. Let's get right with the Lord, make it a lifestyle and pour into those in our daily lives and not be ashamed about it.

• Jazmyn (Jul 23rd at 6:55 PM) We are thoose revolutionaries. I have just started a youth group called Now Generation. At our Highschool...As a Freshman! YEa I'm scuured, well really just fired up and wanting God to really work through us. I am so pumped it annoys people..to the point where I just have to walk away!!!!!. I mean I could go on and on talking about Jesus. Now that speech I ggotta give before I graduate...I can shut up about that.(lol). We need to be the change for our school.. I mean everywhere you turn its sin. ( except when u turn to christ!) And I have been YEARNING LIKE CRAZY! YET SCARED to go to the next level its like soomebody said " yea i've heard about level 10 its harrrrd". so..i have no idea whats gonna go down But God does. I guess What I am askin is just that yall' pray for me..as I pray for you. I'm diggin deep in the Word so that when I'm tempted its only TRUTH that comes out of my mouth. UGhh! Nerves are terrible..but I'm not gonna let it get to me.God Didn't put that in me. (JMOSS)I am standing and speaking in GREAT BOLDNESS! Thats another thing (sorry) When we ask for forgivness..we don't have to be so bent over and slumped and gloomy.. I mean I know you feel bad but God already knows when and how we gone mess up..so humble your heart and stand in His presence with a boldnes that He gave you. Stand on top of your problems..and break them wit hthat mighty ROAR! ok yea i'm going a little bit overboard..so I'm gonna cut myself off..Oh and another thing...I'm frustrated when we Christians don't act like Christians..like we are living totally out of what Christ wants us to live. PEople get mad at me for looking at them funny. Like if their just rude and nasty to somebody..i'll get a bewildered look on my face like." what are you doing??!! do u need a hug? what happened to thoose first two commandments Christ gave you himself??!!" And then I'll realize I was lookin at them funny and fix my face. lol. OK NOW I"M DONE. THANK YALL FOR LETTINGME GET THAT OOUT.
  
  GOD HAS BLESSED and CONTINUES TO..
  p.s. btw..congrats TRIP! Wear that ring boy.! Wear it well.
  Much Much Love
  Jaz aka. Jaye
• Ben (Aug 1st at 1:36 PM) Dear Lecrae
  Where have you lost your weapon soldier?
  Talking on youtube about how video blogging is a waste of time, you have half a generation of lost souls listening to you right there. We were not called to make music, we have all eternity for that, go get yourself a litteral translation of the greek new testament sit infront of a camera and teach those blind kids how to see. I'd leap for joy if i had that many people hanging on my every word...
  May Yahuweh have mercy on this generation.
• Carlos (Aug 3rd at 9:19 PM) Hey Craeezy, this is Carlos here from the QC on the Illinois side. Man, I'm excited... Just comin off the RocktheRiver tour in St. Louis.. there was like 65,000 people there.. crazy numbers. I'm just glad to have been there and witness what God is doing in the Music Ministry. Lecrae, I'm glad to have picked your cd "after the music", after that I've been proclaiming my Christianity.. "UNASHAMED".. send me Lord ..to the places where lives can be reached. Your passion for serving the Lord is sending a message to this generation. I'm currently pursuing a deeper walk with Christ, and looking for every opportunity to share the GOOD WORD..Ya Know! Hope 116 clique comes to my home town sometime.. cuz at Rock the River..your set was off the chain.. I was in the crowd.. loud as can be.. spittin those lyrics..wearin the REBEL tshirt..tellin people where to get it..lol.. I love it. Representin JESUS..God Bless.
• Sherell smith (Nov 9th at 12:38 PM) Awesome hearing the great news of people who love Jesus more than anything and enjoy doing what you do in ministering to the youth and just keep doing what you do in spreading the good news of the gospel.
  Our Youth need Jesus ever so desperately just as well as us Adults.
