Consistency (My First Radio Show)

Hey check out my first radio show.  In this show, I go in depth in to my last posting (Twitter Love) and play some of my favorite Christian Hip Hop and Rhythm and Praise tracks.  Would love to hear your feedback.  I am new to this, so your feedback is important.  Check the link and track listings.  The show is broken up into to two parts.  You can save it and download in iTunes as well.  There is also an app for your smartphone for spreaker.com (the website I am using).  More information on that to come.  Here is the link:

Twitter Love

We say we love God, but how consistent are we with our love.  This is the issue that Chris Lee Cobbins tackles in “Twitter Love” featuring Dre Sr.

I can be tweeted when I want, and ignore it when I don’t, I guess I’m just not much of a supporter, ‘cause I keep going back and forth, so when I like it I follow you…and when I don’t I just unfollow you…I be giving you that twitter love.

Twitter Love is a metaphor for loving God when it’s convenient.  Too often when things are good, we ignore Him, but run back to Him when things go wrong.  We have the nerve then to ask God why He allows evil in the world! 

With the recent killing of Osama Bin Laden, this takes me back to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.  A state of fear overcame the nation when they witnessed this on television and in person.  I remember specifically watching the news as they noted how churches were full on Sunday and even televising President George W. Bush attending a church service.  I remember watching famous pastors, including Bishop T.D. Jakes, getting an unusual amount of television time as people asked why God let this event happen.  What they don’t’ realize is that due to this event, people were now acknowledging God and even attending church.  Now I am not saying that the attack on 9/11 was justified or even necessary, but when we live life like we don’t need Him, He won’t force himself on us.  We can’t push Him away and expect Him to protect us at the same time.  Even for those that were saved at the time, God has a purpose and plan for everything.  Either way, it had people talking about God whether it was in a positive or negative light.  Unfortunately once shock wore off from the most devastating terrorist attack of all time, everything went back to normal and people began to live their lives without God once again.  Church attendance returned back to its normal levels and pastors were no longer getting significant airtime on television, unless of course they were getting into trouble.

Surrender

I love this song by Flame featuring V. Rose and there is now an official video for it (yay).  We are going to be hearing a lot from these guys.  V. Rose just signed to Flame's label, Clear Sight Music, and should be dropping an album soon.  The first single, Oh My Ahh is a banger already. 

Anyway, this song takes me into to worship mode.  The video gives us a clear view of what running away from God can do.  The song teaches us that we are to surrender all to him.  After all, everything belongs to God anyway, so who are we to take what we have and try to run away from him.  I pray you peep the video and God speaks to you through it to surrender everything in you.  I have attached the lyrics after the jump.
