Music
Musicians are the poets that inspire us, drive us and share their views with us. Often these views are absorbed without even thinking about what the artist is communicating. As we look into this music it is important we know the attacks on our faith, but also that we examine where these songs hold truth. It is in these truths that we can build bridges with those who are lost and communicate through the language of culture so that they may hear the gospel.
Kanye's Struggle for Righteousness
Our struggle for righteousness which is expressed in the fight for reputation is a brutal master which will never allow us to rest. We wish we had it, and once it is acquired we will fight to the death to keep it (think of 2Pac or the Notorius B.I.G.). This drive pushes us, beats us, wears us down, and gives us no rest. It is a slavery that promises our emancipation as it slips its shackles around every limb.
