What does "Calvinist" mean?

You may be wondering what a Calvinist is, as it is in the title of my website. If so, and if you're not someone who knows Jesus personally, at least not yet, don't worry about this too much - because it is predominantly an in-house title among those who love Jesus.

But in short, being a Calvinist basically means this is a deep truth: God saves sinners. Sinners don't save themselves, or other sinners. That's God's role as the sovereign ruler of all. We just love Jesus and want to share about him with everyone!

But, if you want to indulge in the details and learn specifically more, Pastor Mark Driscoll sums up the basic points of Calvinism and the opposing Christian theology Arminianism in the video below.

"Live & Let Live": Statik Selektah ft. Lecrae

If you didn't know, evangelical Christian rapper Lecrae has been gaining momentum in the secular music scene for a while. Last year, Lecrae was nominated for a Grammy award for his album Rehab. Last month, he was featured in a cypher at the 2011 BET Awards alongside Estelle. Also, he has recently worked with secular DJ and music producer Statik Selektah, who recently invited Lecrae to collaborate with him, to produce the track "Live and Let Live" on his latest album "Population Control".



While I don't endorse Statik Selektah and his worldview, I am posting this to share and encourage all Christians to be even more missional as we witness Lecrae do so in the different scenarios he's placed in. We all may not make music, but we can take what we are gifted to do well by God and use it to be a testimony to others with similar gifts who don't know Jesus personally! Again, thank you Jesus. for Lecrae. Enjoy the track, guys.
