(WOW) Voddie Baucham On 'Christian' Rappers Like Lecrae | Biblical Rebuke..

Voddie Baucham is Reformed in his theology, and subscribes to the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith. He calls himself a "fire-breathing, TULIP believing, five-point Calvinist."[8] Baucham appeared in the 2019 Netflix documentary American Gospel: Christ Crucified speaking in favor of penal substitutionary atonement. His statement "God killed Jesus" was criticized for "muddying the waters" on this doctrine.[9][10]
Biblical patriarchy

Baucham is an adherent of biblical patriarchy. He outlined his views on the subject in his 2009 book What He Must Be: ...If He Wants to Marry My Daughter, though preferring the phrase "gospel patriarchy".[11] Baucham criticized Sarah Palin's vice presidential candidacy in 2008, on the basis that women serve best at home.[12][13]

Baucham is also a supporter of the Stay-at-home daughter movement.[14] He appeared in Vision Forum's 2007 documentary Return of the Daughters, in which he said that America is suffering an "epidemic of unprotected women."[15]

Lecrae is worried more about status then standing up for Biblical truth.

Here's the simplest litmus test of our time; ask artist (fill in the blank) where he or she stands on gay "marriage".

Definitely agree with Voddie on this, but I don’t think this necessarily matches Lecrae, or KB, or other prominent CHH artists. Not that I am an expert on these guys, but a lot of their music actually has clear stances on where they are in relation to the world - a lot of them seemingly do not care about worldly success. Sure, they admit it’s a problem at times - being loved by the audience - but they never approve of living for the world or pursuing anything less than Christ.

Just some thoughts on the matter

That’s what this guy Ruslan believes also

I WILL NOT LISTEN TO THIS MAN. IF YOU WATCH THE CHOSEN HIS NAME WOULD BE SCHMUEL

I like Christian rap I just don't like Lecrae Lecrae goes about it all wrong he don't even work with other Christian rappers there's many Christian rappers that want to work with him tried to work with him but he refuses to work with them I don't think all Christian rap is bad we can't act like Pharisees about Christian rap I mean Pharisees hated how other people tried to get the message out did they not now we can't act like Pharisees and hate on Christian rap because it's not up to par with your belief

I would say that leveling this charge against anyone who has gained visibility because of their career choice should be done cautiously, and on an individual basis. The fruits of their labors should be weighed. Many approach it as their ministry. Just because someone becomes well known, doesn't automatically mean their motivations are fleshly.

As for meeting lost people where they are at, this was certainly Paul's approach to his ministry. For example:

_For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings._ - 1 Corinthians 9:19‭-‬23

And you can see him model this, when he addressed the men of Athens at the Aeropagus in Acts 17.
