We Didn’t Budget for This…

This is how trying to get paid for the work you did on a website can be sometimes. I’m thankful every time I can deal with a client not like this.

Lyrical Content

Finding good, contemporary, and (the breaker:) theologically sound music is like (insert hyperbole here [needle/haystack, fishing in a desert, etc..]) So it’s pretty nice when you come across an artist who packs a sermon’s worth of theology in his songs along with the Gospel.

I have been a fan of LeCrae, Flame, Trip Lee, and other similar artists, but have been hearing more and more of a rapper named Shai Linne. The lyrics are no-doubt Christ centered and puts man in his proper place. There’s a lot more I could say, but I’ll just let the music is speak for its self.

Here’s a few more songs from Shai Linne
Mission Accomplished – A discourse on Election
Shai Linne’s a capella rap
Passover – An Hebrew dad explaining to his daughter why Mr. Moses told them to eat the lamb

Never Anger a Prophet

Tripp — Sat, 22 May 2010 11:46:55 +0000

I just finished reading Jeremiah 18. Here his people are against him after all the pleading with God he’s done on their behalf. I thought his response was interesting to say the least.

18 Then they said, “Come, let us make plots against Jeremiah, for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not pay attention to any of his words.”

19 Hear me, O Lord,
and listen to the voice of my adversaries.

20 Should good be repaid with evil?
Yet they have dug a pit for my life.
Remember how I stood before you
to speak good for them,
to turn away your wrath from them.

21 Therefore deliver up their children to famine;
give them over to the power of the sword;
let their wives become childless and widowed.
May their men meet death by pestilence,
their youths be struck down by the sword in battle.

22 May a cry be heard from their houses,
when you bring the plunderer suddenly upon them!
For they have dug a pit to take me
and laid snares for my feet.

23 Yet you, O Lord, know
all their plotting to kill me.
Forgive not their iniquity,
nor blot out their sin from your sight.
Let them be overthrown before you;
deal with them in the time of your anger.

For Whom Did CHRIST Die? – John Owen

Tripp — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 13:38:21 +0000

The Father imposed His wrath due unto, and the Son underwent punishment for, either:

I. All the sins of all men.
II. All the sins of some men, or
III. Some of the sins of all men.

In which case it may be said:

I. If the last be true, some of the sins of all men, then have all men some sins to answer for, and so shall no man be saved; for if God entered into judgment with us, though it were with all mankind for one sin, no flesh should be justified in his sight: “If the LORD should mark iniquities, who should stand?” Ps. cxxx. 2. We might all go to cast all that we have “to the moles and to the bats, to go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty,” Isa. ii. 20, 21.

II. That if the second be true, then Christ, in their stead suffered for all the sins of all the elect in the whole world, and this is the truth.

III. But if the first be the case, why are not all men free from the punishment due unto all their sins?

You answer, “Because of unbelief.”
I ask, Is this unbelief a sin, or is it not?

If it be, then Christ suffered the punishment due unto it, or He did not.

If He did, why must that hinder them more than their other sins for which He died?

If He did not, He did not die for all their sins!”

The Bible in 30 Days : Sabbath

Tripp — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 12:52:40 +0000

I taking a day of rest from reading so furiously.

Turns out I made a booboo in planning… Since I didn’t take into account that Matt’s plan was being modified from ehow’s plan as he went along, I had to scratch my head when I hit this:

Day 10 1 Chronicles 1 2 Chronicles 36
Day 11 Ezra 1 Esther 10
Day 12 2 Chronicles 35:16 Job 7:21

So today, I’m just finishing 2 Chronicles and fleshing out the rest of the plan.

Last night Gary (a new brother in Christ!) and I were looking at the 10 Commandments to show our own sinfulness. Most of the time the examples used are stealing, murdering, and adultery, but we went through all of them.

Keeping the Sabbath holy, taking a day of rest, really stuck out to me. God rested, and he wants us to. So I will be meditating on that today as well.

As for Gary, if you get a chance say a quick prayer for him and his discipleship process. We’re picking out a bible Saturday and we’ve started going through Romans! He’s hungry for the Word, and although I didn’t get to be there when he accepted Christ, I’m honored to help him learn more about Jesus.
