I started off this write up on another computer with a differnt train of thought but the contingencies of my country(NEPA and ISP problems) have been a hindrance but that not withstanding (where there's God's will + human persistence, there's most definitely a way!)
Got that title from my brother - it was actually as a result of watching some morning show that was infact a gospel program - it had a group that was rappin' and they appeared all blinged up to the hilt... It was a real departure from the traditional gospel that we are often force fed...
Who said gospel had to be sober or dull... It can take many forms but the most important thing is how to deliver the crux of content to us (sinners) - in a manner that we will assimilate without tuning out the message...
If a flock of birds have learnt to fly without perching the hunter must learn to shoot without aiming - it all boils down to an effective strategy that must be adaptive to the times (social, economic and whatever else)
So my brother and I agree that they are pimpin' the gospel to make it palatable (the reality of the times appear to be different so that people have to be shown the parallel between Jesus's time and ours....) youths say that it needs to be overhauled...
There is a saying that the more things change, the more they stay the same - I'm totally in agreement - inspite of the differences (it's the same message and the same theme - the difference is simply perspective of the preacher)
Anyway - keep pimpin' so far it gets the message across...
Christ in blings
