I now understand more and more about this so-call world of "Hip-Hop". I understand now why "Hip-Hop"has really no place in our churches and yet it's slowly creeping in our church doors. After hearing all of this, I will stand behind fellow clergy members by NOT allowing "Hip-Hop" into our churches.

Pastors,Ministers and Church Leaders, would you allow "Hip-Hop" in your churches? Is this a way in keeping our youth in church? I am interested in all feedback concerning this issue.

"...I know of a pastor who gave his choir a month off for just that reason, with the exception of a few congregation hymns there were no selections sung by the choir..."

Well the Spirit must have spoke to that pastor.
Seems like most churches in America are on the 'Entertainment Crack'
They are so caught up in it - some think without it - people will go to hell.
Funny how things turn out.
Brother, we are not going to Heaven. The Kingdom will be in Jerusalem. The reason why the congregation can't get it together is because the churches don't teach the law. If the churches taught the law, then you would see who really wanted to serve God, and who was there for the entertainment, or filthy lucre.
I'm not sure what you are talking about but I will go to heaven. Jerusalem is a physical place on earth right now, but this earth shall parish. It wont be here after fire rains from the sky. The only two places that are everlasting is heaven and hell. Gods states that if we obey his commandments, we will have everlasting life. You cant have everlasting life in Jerusalem that is going to be burnt up!!
Read Revelation 20, and 22. It will show the that the Kingdom will be on Earth, not in Heaven. The only ones who want to go to heaven are Satan, his angels, and his children.
Amen!
I BELIVE WE ARE MISSING IT. WHO ARE WE TO TELL PEOPLE HOW THEY ARE TO PRAISE AND WORSHIP GOD? GOD GIVES TO EVERY PERSON GIFES AND TALENTS TO DO AND BECOME THE PEOPLE THAT THEY NEEDS TO BE COME. WE MISSED THE FACT THAT IN THE WAY OUR KIDS ARE THAT THERE SO MANY THINGS THAT THEY CAN GET INTO BUT GOD HAS US TO BE THERE TO HELP THEM PICK UP THE PIECES. WE HAVE TO HOLD ON TO THE WHOLE BIBLE NOT JUST WHAT FIT US. THE WORD OF GOD STATES THAT A WISE MAN WIN SOULS. SO STOP RUNNING THE KIDS OUT OF CHURCH AND RUN THEM TO GOD. GOD SAYS HIS WAYS ARE NOT OUR WAYS, PLEASE STOP AND THINK AND LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE IS THIS GOD GAVE IT TO THEM NOW I SAY LET THEM US IT BECAUSE I WILL GOD BLESS YOU PASTOR STRICKLAND
I don't think that we are attempting to give some sort of instructions on how to praise and worship God. I have mentioned that what I do at my church works for my church, and may not work at your church and vice versa. There are those of us who believe that the hip hop movement should remain in the secular arena and not come into the church. However, if you as a pastor of your church feel differently about it and have elected to make hip hop music a part of your order of service it is totally up to you and the members of the church you pastor. You say, "stop running the kids out of the church" if hip hop is the primary reason for kids to attend church and not the Word of God, then the church is in a lot of trouble. My child does not come to church to hear the choir or anyone else perform or sing hip hop. My child comes to church, because as a parent I am obligated to bring her to church and she as a child has no decision on the matter. Pastor Strickland by all means do what you feel God is leading you to do at your church. The Spirit speaks to the angel of the church and our opinions are just that, opinions.
I been following this conversation for a few days.
I am a Holy Hip Hop Ministry gift. Holy Hip Hop is one of the arts, tools, gift that is use to give the message of Jesus..But it is not the only one..Just like any other craft their is a form of godilness but the real has to come. Ishmael came before Isaac but Isaac was the promise. I truly get excited when its read Holy Hip Hop becasue Holiness came before hip hop. Holiness is the key word.. Is every person that is doing Holy Hip Hop living holy or in alignment with the message they give probably Not. But There are a whole lot that are and i can witness to that. Also i can introduce them to you...
I've had the opportunity to minister with so many of them who I am humbled and honored to know.
People have been judging Holy Hip Hop too long. Hip Hop does not make itself. The people make the music and its up to that person to determine who side are they leaning on. Are you truly sold out to God or not. It was Jesus that cancel our ticket to hell. Hell is not our destination, Heaven is..When Christ died it was for us all. The message of millions of artist, ministers and ministry gift is Jesus. Apart from him we are nothing. He is our all and all. Lets run after God. Somebody needs to hear the message...Alot of people may not come into church. We have to be the sermon, the message, a walking bible.
The enemy is seeking who he may devour and Just like the enemy can get into the person doing Holy Hip hop, the enemy can get into an usher, deacon, choir memeber and more.
The true focus is making sure we spread the message of Jesus and show love..We have to lift people up....Their are many members but 1 body. But every part is needed. Jesus wanted to make sure not one soul be lost. We give the message and the Holy Spirit will draw. The world is in need of a savior. God can use a song to bring a person to salvation. God will meet you right where you are at. Lets fuel the airwaves, ipods, mp3 players,emails, telephone lines with Jesus. If we never needed him before, we truly need him right now. God Bless u

Sister Ross, you have very professional and interesting website, and it is obvious that you are sincere in what you do and have a lot of zeal for the work needed in God's kingdom.
Thank you and To God be all the Glory
I asked in a previous post what is a 'hip hop' minister and if there were 'jazz' ministers or 'punk rock' ministers or 'ghetto tech' ministers and so on and so forth?

Can anyone tell me what it is because I dont even understand?
I have heard of the 5 fold ministry but never this.

Thank you.
