“Be conscious of these little distractions, others confuse the Gospel with social and political action. If it stops with helping at soup kitchens and political involvement it’s not the true mission.” Hazakim -Evangelism

  I LOVE this CD. LampMode Records teamed up with 9Marks and released “The Church - Called and Collected” last summer.

  “We understand both the seemingly controversial nature of “the Church”, especially among the Hip hop contingent, and well as the biblical imperative of the Church’s importance. We are simply offering our contribution to the conversation, fueled and on the diving board of 9Marks’ book, “What is a healthy church”, written by Mark Dever.”

  Hip-hop + solid theology. A dream come true. For me, at least.

  It was during my sophomore year of college that I dove into a research on "What is the Church?" This may seem like a broad question, and I am for certain that there are many many MANY documents/archives/articles/opinions/movies on this very topic. As a believer in and follower of Jesus Christ, (i believe Jesus came to earth, lived a perfect life & died on the cross for my sins, and rose again three days later...and that it is by grace that i have been saved through faith in this act - my savior dying for me and taking the wrath for my sin) I believe the best resource for research on the topic of the Church is the Bible.

  Thanks to incredible technology, I can access the Bible at almost any point. I frequent the Online ESV (English Standard Version) Bible. This is an incredible resource for searching anything in the Bible.

It is easy to navigate, and there are maps, articles, and commentary that are easy to access.

I spent about 5 months studying the Church my sophomore year. The Bible provided all of my answers, along with commentary and Godly wisdom from some of my mentores.

I am thankful for this research tool - The Bible!
