Music...

I've been listening to stuff which well most people would not consider as worship music... (I wonder what is worship music anyway.) Some people say listening to this hill song stuff makes them feel good about themselves so that they can face the new day or even give praise to the Lord. Hmmm is that a commodity.

I've been listening to something more hardcore and more serious. Mebbe its my personality that the music doesn't matter but the lyrics do. They are to remind us of something.. of ourselves and where we are. Not in the sense of making us feel good but remind us of our place. Christian Hip Hop as a genre is not something i'd really call as one but it is one which is almost like a mini sermon of sorts. Forcing us to relook our culture and what that teaches us. William Branch aka The Ambassador, Lecrae, Trip Lee and JR and R. Swift. Listening to them makes me wonder whats up with me. It puts me in my place not as a prince or princess but as one in need of Grace... Yet its I wonder how people listen so much hillsongs very much like a pop stuff. Yet no change in their lives. They let the parts of culture over take their lives and this I don't mean dressing though that plays a part. but how they begin to view the world.

I wonder what should be shaping us?
