		<description><![CDATA[At the time of this interview around August of 2012, Lecrae&#8217;s Grammy winning album GRAVITY hadn&#8217;t been released yet. This interview by Pastor Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, Washington was a one on one casual discussion with Lecrae about topics such as his family upbringing, his wife and three kids, his goals of preaching the gospel through rap/hip hop, how he manages to stay faithful to his wife while on tour, folks collaborating with him on his album and much more. Very intriguing and down to earth interview, sometimes humorous and sometimes serious. I am one who can barely make it through five minute interviews but this was was nearly 30 minutes and kept me listening through every second of it. Even if one is not a fan of rap and/or hip hop, you can&#8217;t but help to be a fan of Lecrae and support what he&#8217;s doing as a missionary of modern culture. Now here it is a few months later and Lecrae&#8217;s Gravity album has been the first by a hip hop/rap artist to get best gospel album at the 2013 Grammys! Congratulations to Lecrae! Listen below &#8230; If you like listening to rap, check out one of Lecrae&#8217;s songs from the album Gravity featuring Suzy Rock titled &#8220;No Regrets.&#8221; And of of my own personal all time favorites by Lecrae from one of his earlier albums Rehab, &#8220;Just Like You.&#8221; (I&#8217;m an old school mama who isn&#8217;t really crazy about rap but I do like this song!) More on Lecrae here: Reach Records &#8211; Lecrae is co-owner of this record label CONGRATULATIONS LECRAE! &#8211; Nice congratulatory post by Mars Hill Pastor Mark Driscoll and links to other interviews and Lecrae&#8217;s music.

		<description><![CDATA[If you aren&#8217;t a Christian then ignore this post. This is for anyone who calls themselves a follower of Christ and believes that the bible is their guide for life. Discussion about gay marriage only makes sense if you believe in God and trust his Word the Bible as a book of wisdom for direction, correction and spiritual supplication.  This is Christian family to Christian family and regarding our Christian president. During this inaugural celebration, President Obama had laid his hands on three bibles (one family bible at a private ceremony and a bible that Lincoln took an oath on and one that was the Rev. Dr Martin Luther King used later at the public swearing in).  After reviewing his speech, I had to only shake my head at the oath he made on those three bibles while he pumped up support for Gay &#8220;love&#8221; while ignoring the words from those very bibles.  There were a slew of other things that bothered me but the most important to me that directly affects my freedom as a Christian to believe, speak and teach God&#8217;s word is Obama&#8217;s stance on gay marriage.  To throw his support fully behind it (no wonder Pastor Louie Giglio had to be excused from the inauguration) is sending the message to Christians who are against gay marriage to &#8220;LOOK OUT!&#8221; (See &#8220;Tolerance Tyrants Strike Again&#8221; &#8211; on Pastor Giglio) Here is Obama&#8217;s part of his speech where he shows his support for homosexual love: “Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.” (14:51 minutes into video) We are all created equal but aren&#8217;t there <a href="http://christocentric.com/main/?p=4133">(full article)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been listening and reading about the anger directed at Senator Glenn Grothman for his press release asking &#8220;Why must we still hear about Kwanzaa?&#8221; (pdf) He was right on point when he said that Kwanzaa was created by &#8220;a racist who didn&#8217;t like the idea that Christ died for all of our sins, so he felt blacks should have their own holiday &#8211; hence Kwanzaa.&#8221; Now I do disagree with him when he said almost &#8220;no black people today care about Kwanzaa.&#8221; There are many, many black people who do care about Kwanzaa. I&#8217;m not one of them &#8211; at all. In fact I despise Kwanzaa and that I&#8217;ll explain why later. I don&#8217;t know what started Senator Grothman&#8217;s questioning of Kwanzaa, but the two links in his press release do provide a clue. The first one is a video about two schools that are incorporating Kwanzaa principles in their African-centered education. They  often talk about the need for the black child to feel like they are a part of the school to enhance their education.  They speak of teaching culture and virtues through the learning and practicing of the seven principles of Kwanzaa. It made me wonder if any biblical principles and virtues are allowed to be taught at all &#8211; especially during Christmas and/or Easter! How many schools aren&#8217;t even allowed to do a Charlie Brown Christmas play because bible verses are dared recited by the Peanuts character Linus! And how insulting to think that black children raised in Christian homes don&#8217;t find that Christ is sufficient for feeling good about whom they are in this world! The second link which was an article (only accessible for 30 days free) that made some glaring mistakes about Kwanzaa.

		<description><![CDATA[December 26 marks the beginning of the seven day celebration of Kwanzaa every year. What is Kwanzaa? It&#8217;s a celebration designed to bring together families to share their African-American culture.  At least that&#8217;s the general opinion of most who celebrate it.  For many it&#8217;s also a way of life complete with its own set of seven principles called in Swahili the Nguzo Saba. Kwanzaa is celebrated by countless numbers of people in differing religions, ethnicities and what have you, but the number of Christians who celebrate Kwanzaa becomes a bit more on the disturbing side. Why is that? For the most part, Kwanzaa&#8217;s creation by Maulana Karenga, a college professor and leader of a black activist organization,was primarily because of his intense hatred of religions, especially of the Christian and Jewish religions. Jesus Psychotic? So Christians celebrate a holiday that not only is created by a man who hates religions, but mocked our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ publicly when he was quoted from the following in his book, The Quotable Karenga, 1967: &#8220;Jesus was psychotic. He said if you didn&#8217;t believe what he did you would burn forever.&#8221; (pg 25) &#8220;If you realized how human Jesus was, you&#8217;d see he was no God.&#8221; (pg 26) To think I bought Karenga&#8217;s book off of Ebay a few years ago for less than 5 dollars, after giving my copy of the book to a Los Angeles pastor in the 1980&#8242;s who did nothing about it.  You can&#8217;t find that book anywhere I don&#8217;t think for less than $35, and I&#8217;ve seen it as a collector&#8217;s item in the $200 dollar range! Yes, that invaluable book reveals Karenga&#8217;s true beliefs at that time on Christians, Jesus Christ, religions in general and of himself and other humans when he said: &#8220;We are God <a href="http://christocentric.com/main/?p=3923">(full article)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My 26 year old daughter recently celebrated her two month anniversary of marriage and I remembered something very valuable that I could share with my blog readers: my daughter waited until marriage before having sex! That is her picture that I&#8217;m sharing with everyone along with the story of how she was able to preserve herself until marriage &#8211; from her mother&#8217;s point of view.  One day when she has the time, I&#8217;m sure we will hear from her about her journey from sex-free singleness to marriage. Yes, I&#8217;ve had something to do with it but my daughter and her siblings really had everything going against them.  They are products of a divorce, a mother who went on welfare for a time and who never remarried with no consistent father image in the home and with two older brothers who were nothing close to being father images but could be considered very menacing to their sister&#8217;s prospective boyfriends.  Poor to most of their lives and just having the bare minimum to get by with in life but survived with great help from their grandparents, other relatives and the grace of God.  So how did my daughter manage to make it to marriage as a virgin? As a parent, have you ever taught your child something and they took that information and ran with it? For example, I taught my children the basics of computers.  They took that information and ran with it doing things with the computer that I can only imagine! Well, the same with my children and their spirituality.  I introduced my children to Jesus Christ. I shared how they can become saved and on their own they made a commitment to Christ.  My children took that information and ran with it! They developed a faith in God <a href="http://christocentric.com/main/?p=3826">(full article)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A story broke out recently (See story on ABC on a seven year old boy named Bobby Montoya, who likes to play with dolls, dress like little girls and wanted to be in the Girl Scouts.  The Girl Scouts initially rejected him because he has &#8220;boy parts,&#8221; but according to some sources the Girl Scouts have backpedaled and now are saying that they are inclusionary and transgendered children are allowed. As I kept reading story after story on this poor little boy who has a mother who for some reason believed she must teach her boy that it&#8217;s ok to want to be a girl.  Why in today&#8217;s society is there so much gender confusion? What is wrong with a mother who decides that just because her boy likes dolls she must now dress him up and treat him like a little girl? This mother says that her son knew since he was two years old that he wanted to be a girl. Really? At two years old? The mother, Felisha Archuleta said: &#8220;I thought Bobby would grow out of it,&#8221; she said. &#8220;For birthdays, he asked for ponies. He had a princess birthday, and last year when he turned 7, he had a Rapunzel birthday. I have just basically supported him.&#8221; She merely supported him or brainwashed him into believing that he is a girl! Who was responsible for him having a princess party and Rapunzel party? The boy? The mother is sadly just as confused as the Girl Scouts in not being able to tell that his like of girl toys (which is nothing wrong in itself) doesn&#8217;t means he has to be a girl! To me it is child abuse to confuse a child at such a young age, to dress them up into their make believe world <a href="http://christocentric.com/main/?p=3805">(full article)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s amazing how many people don&#8217;t understand the Bible&#8217;s position on judging one another.  Judging (pun intended) from the remarks made by commenters on this board whether educated or not, clergy or not, many people mistake judging people with intolerance.  Many feel that to be good Christians means to never say nothing negative to or about anyone. But if we are called to do the work of reproof, correction, instruction, rebuke, exhortation and convincing:  then one would think we would have to do some amount of judging.  It is this same type of judging common throughout my blog and I know many find it to be a bit too uncomfortable at times. My passion is defending the faith by exposing error against the truth of the Bible (Ephesians 5:8-13) and many times I&#8217;ve had to resort to some type of judging in order to discern how best to confront an error and to determine what scriptural passage would be best suited for the person I&#8217;m directing it to. So with that, I dedicate this post on judging; what it means to judge, when to judge and whom can make judgements.  I&#8217;ll also share what type of judging we shouldn&#8217;t be doing at all. I&#8217;ll begin with some scriptures that explain what is involved in judging and why we are commanded to do so: 1) &#8220;Why Judge? &#8211; Biblical judging results in spiritual growth in a person: All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,  that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.&#8221; 2 Timothy 3:16-17 &#8220;Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.&#8221; 2 Timothy 4:2 &#8220;Those who are sinning <a href="http://christocentric.com/main/?p=3746">(full article)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;It is inevitable that Christians who would now be described as &#8220;liberal&#8221; will be the overwhelming majority of Christians in America.&#8221; John Shore from his article on The Inevitability of the Rise of Progressive Christianity. This is one of the few statements of John Shore that I actually agree with.  Sad, but true &#8211; a truth prophesized in God&#8217;s word: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 2 Timothy 4:2-4 Well, that time has come beginning in Jesus&#8217; day and growing in numbers each century since.  Progressive Christianity (sometimes known as emergence Christianity) is a movement that is swelling in numbers day by day.  It is one of the movements behind many churches that now accept homosexuality as normal and allow Gay pastors.  It is also a movement that accepts other religions as being acceptable for a relationship with God. It is a movement that downplays many biblical admonitions considering them outdated thus their title as &#8220;progressive.&#8221; Popularity rules with progressives and not the truth. Societal issues are determined by numbers rather than God&#8217;s truth.  Inclusivity is the norm and exclusivity is hated. This aberrant faux Christian movement&#8217;s primary scriptures to defend their love for people are found in the Bible and says, &#8220;These things I command you, that you love one another.&#8221; John 15:17 or &#8220;Love your neighbor as yourself,&#8220;  Matthew 22:36-40. Because of this love, progressives take this to mean not to offend anyone even if it&#8217;s a biblical commandment.  The <a href="http://christocentric.com/main/?p=3707">(full article)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A blogger/writer, John Shore, urged his readers to forward  his latest blog post titled: &#8220;Why should any of us choose to be a part of a group that condemns us.&#8221; I knew him from many of his postings on the Huffington Post as being a professing Christian who rebukes other Christians for daring to say that homosexuality is a sin.  His blog article begins with informing his readers that he&#8217;s heard from A&#8217;isha, a friend of his who is a lesbian and a professing Christian.  She lost her beloved girlfriend recently and was finding a way of dealing with the grief through writing. A&#8217;isha had written a piece she wanted John to post in which he did. But he urged A&#8217;isha&#8217;s piece to be forwarded with a stern warning to: &#8220;anyone who continues to cling to the ignorant, toxic belief that being gay is a choice for which God condemns people. (And to the people who in God’s name are STILL condemning A’isha? Save your souls: stop using Jesus to justify your own fear and hatred).&#8221; John&#8217;s ignoring of the biblical commandments regarding sexual immorality that include homosexuality and his support of it recalled the following scriptures to my mind in Romans 1:28-32 where not only did those who practice in sin deserve death but also those who APPROVE of those who do the sinful practices.  John is just as guilty as those who practice the actual sins because of his adamant approval of the gay lifestyle.  Although we deserve death for these practices, God in His grace has spared many of us from instant death sentences. A&#8217;isha&#8217;s piece is heartfelt and she obviously is still grieving the death of her loved one.  I prayed before writing my response because condemnation was the last thing she needed right now, but <a href="http://christocentric.com/main/?p=3698">(full article)</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Curiosity got the best of me as I was so excited to see that you can publish your blog on Amazon.com&#8217;s Kindle store! I already knew that you can you have your books, e-books, magazines and newspapers, but blogs? I had to give it a try and I did it! But now what? And why is there a price tag on it? Why a price tag for a free access blog? This blog is being sold (for the time being) at the Kindle store for 99 cents (with a 14 day free trial) because that&#8217;s the lowest that Amazon will let anyone post their blog in their store! I really wanted this to be free but there are folks willing to subscribe to blogs/newspapers/magazines and the likes for a small price just so they can get it on their Kindle e-book reader. (Yep, I&#8217;m one of those folks!)  And at least you do get to receive 30% royalty so that Amazon can get paid for your free marketing services.  Not bad at all! Why sell it at all? Well having my Kindle to catch up on articles, blogs and read them at my convenience on a screen larger then my smartphone for a price 1/3rd that of most smartphones/PCs and tablets is simply too wonderful. The same convenience I have is the same convenience I want to offer other Kindle readers. Also, any exposure you get can for your blog is well worth it. I have information to share and I want people to know my blog exists so any reasonable means necessary let folks know it&#8217;s here! The Kindle: My new love affair! I&#8217;ve recently started a new love affair with the Kindle. It&#8217;s been out for so long but I just hadn&#8217;t realized the advantages of it.
