As a child, Hip Hop artist Lecrae’s world was void of good role models. Growing up with a single mom, he would watch rap videos at his grandmother’s house and developed an ability to rap himself. Yet Lecrae wrestled with insignificance, having never met his father and enduring a life of abuse and neglect. He sought to fill this void by surrounding himself with gangsters.

Before long, Lecrae was embroiled in a world filled with drugs, theft, alcohol and gang activity. “I didn’t fit in anywhere. I was just a misfit of a person,” he said.

Little did he know that his view on life would soon be jolted, opening his eyes to the One who valued his life as significant. The One who cared enough to die for him. The One who is behind his music.

Follow the link below to this useful new american website that tackles the question “am I really a christian?”

You may be wondering if you are a Christian or know someone who’s questioning their faith. Or maybe you know you’re not a Christian and you wonder what it really means to be one. Or maybe still you are sure of your salvation, but you’re looking for trusted tools to help you along your spiritual journey.

This is actually an advert for a chicken restaurant but I wonder if you have ever moved around our city and wondered about the people, the stories they have and considered why they need Jesus in that story.
