you're like....oh just stop it. stop being all saintly. oh, i'm not being saintly, trust me. just ask my kids or my husband. no, i'm just more aware that God is everywhere. in everything and in every song. either by it's great depravity apart from God and empty promises or by it's desire for something to satisfy a deep yearning in their soul. don't get me wrong, the gospel is preached in hymns and in christian music. but i hear it in pop music too. i hear it in pop music a lot.
so i decided to document when i hear the Gospel even in unconventional ways. when i hear God's word. and with the help of a friend, we have tagged it #letsgetpraisy
because that's just straight up stupid and funny. that combination, my friends, will never do you wrong. ok that's probably not true.
SOOOOOO, i would love for you guys to join me in #letsgetpraisy
thus, i have created a competition, players. next week, november 19th we'll do a link up of sorts with you're pop music quote that follows these requirements:
1) is somehow Gospel centered.
2) you provide a verse that goes along with your quote.
3) the quote can be from any song ever made in the universe.
4) you hashtag it if you twitter/instagram it. or blog it, player haters.
5) if you don't have a blog, you can email me your picture and i'll link you up.
6)you can enter up to 5 quotes.
winner gets:
their quote designed and printed
and
an 8X10 customizable art print from minted.com
and
these earrings just for kicks!
plus bragging rights. and that right there wins it all.
we'll do a link up next week. and then after the link up in the following days, we'll have people vote for their favorite #letsgetpraisy quote on instagram. i'll post the top 2 and the one with the most votes wins! like we do in 'merica.
now, enjoy this video that makes fun of things christians say. of course, scroll down and press pause on my awesome music first.
Stuff Christians Say from worshiphousemedia on GodTube.
