Lecrae: Rebel

This album is dynamite!!! The words in his songs are so incredible!! I highly suggest you check out the album here: www.reachrecords.com

The song that I am listening to all the time, and has truly spoken to me is "Rebel Intro"...the lyrics are this:

Jesus was a rebel, a renegade, outlaw/ A sanctified troublemaker but He never sinned, naw/ and He lived His life by a different set of Rules/ the culture ain't approve/so you know they had they had to bruise em/ that's the way they do/ man, they swear they so gangsta but everyones the same/ everybody do the same stuff/ tattoos, piercing/ smokin' up and drinking/ money and sex plus them extravagant weekends/man if that's the high life/ I'll puff puff pass that/ you leave evaporated like you missing a gas cap/ I guess I'm passed that/ I am in rebellion/ I'd rather have a dollar in my pocket than a mill-ion/ I'm scared to worship money, and my wants over Elyon/ I'll remain a rebel while the rest of them just carry on/this is what I live fo/ this the hill I'm buried on/ if Jesus is the truth/ that means one of us is VERY wrong/ think about it

Verse 2:
No glory in me/ all glory to the King on the throne (Jesus)/ you either love Him or leave Him alone but you can't do both/ yeah, I know you heard that once in song/ I pray you hear 10 mo fo ya gone/ hey listen up, holmes/ stage is the corner/ crowd is the streets/ And I rap the bread of life cause they dyin' to eat/
I'm a rebel you know the kind that die in the street/Cause you refuse to conform, won't eat the kings meat yeah/ Christ rebelled by shunning the cultured/ He eatin' with sinners/ givin Pharasies ulcers/ He never got married, He was broke and plus homeless/yeah that's the God I roll wit/ ya boy gotta wife and no I neva cheated/ I'm prayin for humility whenever I get heated/ forget about the drugs/ rebel against pornography/ this ain't how it oughta be, homie/ this is how it's gotta be/ A rebel

Those lyrics have so much power. I Just wanted to encourage you today, are you a rebel? IT IS NO LONGER REBELLIOUS TO SIN!! We realize that the Bible says rebellion is SIN, but it is not longer to rebel to sin because EVERYONE IS SINNING. Jesus was a rebel who was counter cultural! Being a rebel is doing what no1 else is doing--standing up for Christ, following Christ, living a life worthy of the Gospel, who is doing that? THAT IS REBELLION in our world because everyone has conformed and accepted sin!

You wanna be a rebel, READ YOUR BIBLE- because no1 is doing it- that is rebellion- thats the only rebellion left!!!

All of this can be found on the Lecrae album, and so much more- I will write about some of the other songs in the future- but I encourage you today, BE A REBEL.

Be Blessed,
