Regeneration transforms degeneration. However, what I am saying is that common grace and natural law and "residual effects of Christianity" - all can have some excellent benefits on a culture - even one that is missing the gospel. Some lost people play the cello in a symphony. Some lost people sing "booty rap". The fact that both exist and have artistic freedom does not bother me. But the sales of Lil Wayne are MUCH greater than the groups of the 80's, and there is no corresponding critique - from the pulpits, the op-ed section, or D.C. John,

You had guys like Eazy E, NWA, et al, getting major air time and kids were wearing their gear. Back in 1979-80 rap was fairly innocent, songs were mainly about my crew is better than your crew. The genre itself is not a bad thing. In fact a large portion of my audio library contains Christian rap, and many are Reformed! What exactly is my moral duty in regards to wordly musical lyrics? What hath I to do with "Booty Records?" My duty is Christ and His Gospel and when He regenerates a soul, then He will remove those desires for those things...He did for me. We're all growing up next to Lil Wayne's, they're called lost people.

I'm sure it is a bittersweet departure. I wish you and your family well as you engadge in this new ministry.
