Lecrae is one of the first and one of their favorites! God has used his music to open new doors of outreach for our family.

I get so tired of the term "biblical" being thrown around in reference to man-made theological systems and constructs. Reformed Theology is not biblical just as an Arminian approach is not biblical. Only the Bible is biblical. As the famous NT scholar Eckhardt Schnabel once noted [my own paraphrase], "I am so tired of people discussing the 'literal' translation of the Greek in the New Testament. There is no such thing. The only literal text is the Greek itself. Once you translate it, it is a translation, and no longer literal. There is no one-to-one correspondence between Greek and English." This isn't saying that we shouldn't do theology. Just that, as we do theology, we should be careful to acknowledge the gap between our ideas and Scripture itself. Regarding points #4 and #5:
