tithe rap

February 25, 2009 · 5 comments

man, there’s so much of me (the cynical, judgmental bits) that wants to trash the heavy-handedness and cheesy-ness of this baby; but their self-mocking “new kids” and “hammertime” dance interludes, i must say, won me over to a genuine smile.

As one who doesn’t like rap music in general, this was a great laugh at so many levels. Thank you for a humorous break in the day.

Love rap
Hate it when the church/YP’s use it pathetically
I’m with you marko – cynically torn, smiling at the end, wondering where in the world this is and amazed at how much the congregation was getting into it.

That a great representation of so much that is wrong with the church. But, yeah, it is kinda funny.

Wow, so much I don’t like…
- tying God’s blessing to our giving.
- Seeing tithing as obligatory instead of as an act of worship
- a neglect for the NT example of cheerful giving vs. OT obligatory tithe.
- etc.
My cynical side is coming out… I wonder how much of this was motivated by a bad month’s giving… coupled with how much money was wasted on the “100″ and “10″ rings…
