| | Review: | I learned about Cross movement ministries through a good
friend here at Emmanuel church. I remember walking up the
stairs to the EEC office and hearing hardcore rap music
blasting from the vicinity of the office. Opening the door I
saw my friend dancing to this music. Bewildered at the
strange sight, I gathered my thoughts and asked my friend
what he was listening to and he told me that this was a
Christian rap group called Cross Movement.
I was initially shocked to find out that they were a
Christian group, because normally when you mix Christianity
and rap music you end up with a poorly produced, cheesy
sounding compilation of music (this is from personal
experience). The more I listened, the more I wanted to learn
about this group, so I went to their website
www.crossmovement.com. This is what I found:
"The Cross Movement is a team of ministry minded
individuals who primarily exist to spread the gospel of
Jesus Christ throughout urban areas, and assist in
discipling those who believe. Through various means, The
Cross Movement aims to employ an evangelistic task force
that demonstrates and promotes solid commitment to the
person and mission of Jesus Christ."
Cross movement is more than just a bunch of guys rapping
about Christ. Their main focus is to do the will of their
Lord and Savior in responding to his call to reach the lost
generation in the inner city. In response to the message of
self image, violence, sex, and hopelessness being portrayed
throughout secular rap music and other forms of media, they
bring a message of salvation and hope in Christ Jesus.
The genre of music is hardcore rap. Now, I know most of us
here at Emmanuel Church are more into the soft, contemporary
rock music; listening to praise music and being content with
what we know and have. But I'm telling you, this music is
no joke! Even if you've never liked or listened to rap
music before, you'll at least appreciate their lyrics.
Somebody recently told me that Cross Movement's music is
like apologetics in rap form and I totally agree with him.
Their lyrics are completely reformed and very
Christ-centered. In "Hold It Down," the message is plain
and simple: to choose Christ is to live for him. "Cause
though we too were condemned, each man now has a choice - to
choose Christ and rep with more than your voice - Cause just
what is it you're really telling me - when you say you love
God but live the life of Be-elzee?" This is a challenge to
walk and not just talk about Christ.
"The Light," is a reminder of God's grace demonstrated
through Christ. It challenges us to look to the cross and to
"praise the Son". "The light of Christ is a blazin' one
- There's a fight to live right and its major son - But the
grace has come so we praise the Son - And celebrate Him
'cause we know what He saved us from." Other songs have
similar hope-filled messages about Christ and his death on
the cross. "C to the R" and "Know me (Huh What?)" are
some of the songs on this CD that encourages people to seek
an understanding of God's love and grace.
Other CD's from The Cross Movement are: 1-Christology,
2-House of Representatives, 3-Heaven's Mentality. These
CD's are just as biblically sound and emphasize the same
encouraging Christ-centered message. I recommend checking
out all of Cross movement's CD's. (I personally like some
of the older CD's more than this one, but you should
check'um all out!!!)
Bonus: Amazingly, Cross Movement offers 20 songs on one
CD!!! Now that alone makes this CD worth buying - what other
CD offers 20 songs?
