Timothy Brindle: KILLING SIN

I have been blessed immensely to hear the music of Timothy Brindle. He has taken gospel rap to a place that I have heard no other form of "contemporary" music taken. Period.

read this on his album entitled "Killing Sin":

Topics Covered
With the overarching theme of Killing Sin being that of putting to death the works and deeds of the flesh and to live a life of holiness, every track is fixed and hinges upon that single point of focus. Even with that though, Timothy Brindle offers up a wide variety of topics on the issue of killing sin, such as:

Fighting against sin daily (Pressing into the Kingdom, Let's Kill Sin, The Battle)

Sin of pornography (Step into the Light, The Temptation)

Producing spiritual fruit (Fruit Inspection, Blessings of Obedience)

Walking in the Holy Spirit (Power of the Holy Spirit, Sacrifice of Worship)

Focusing on Christ (Fix Your Eyes, The Excellency of Christ)

Christ's work to save us from sin (The Humility of Christ, The Faithfulness of Christ)

That's just a taste of the topics covered. There is so much on this album that you'll walk away with something new every single time you listen to it.

Shai Linne with Lampmode Records is another outstanding artist. His latest album The Atonement is saturated with theology. Anyone who can sample John Piper and rap about Emmanuel Kant has my vote. He is reformed in his theology and I am not so much, but his songs are well thought and scripturally based. He does alot of expository rapping (wow, I never thought I'd hear those two words in the same sentence ;-) ) on different passages of scripture.

It's sad to know that the lyrics in these songs are things you will not hear in the vast majority of pulpits in a whole year.

If I may ask in my curiousity, what does Timothy Brindle rap about Immanuel Kant?

Hello BoG:
To my knowlege T. Brindle hasn't rapped about Emmanuel Kant, Shai Linne did in his song Jesus is Alive on his album The Atonement. The crux of the song highlights how many entertainers, philosophers, and world leaders have died but Christ is still alive. Emmanuel Kant is listed along with Darwin and others.

Here are the lyrics to Shai Linne's song The Atonement Q&A. Again, leaning towards Reformed, but still solid. This track features fellow artist Stephen the Levite.

Who is God? God is the universe’s Creator
And Sustainer plus the only Savior, there is no one greater
He triune, holy, omnipotent, omniscient, absolute
Loving, sovereign and righteous are a few of His attributes
How do we know this? Well, we know this from the Bible
Where God has revealed Himself- anything else is just an idol
What’s the Bible about? Man’s complete ruin in sin
And what God has done in Christ to bring us to Him again
What is sin? Sin is the breaking of God’s law
Plus our condition, which means from birth we all got flaws
What’s the result? The result is by nature we’re God’s enemies
And must pay the penalty unless God provides the remedy
What the remedy? The remedy is the cross of Christ
Where He suffered all the strikes for the lawless type
I’ve been rescued by the Lamb, I’m convinced that He’s risen
And blessed is the man whose sins are forgiven!

(Chorus)

Just fall back, and with the eyes of faith
Behold the beauty of surprising grace
Because the Lamb has died, third day He had to rise
He’s magnified- God’s wrath is satisfied

Just fall back- there’s an atonement now
The cross of Christ is holy ground
Because the Lamb has died, third day He had to rise
He’s magnified- God’s wrath is satisfied

Verse 2

Regeneration- the Holy Spirit’s true work in His love
To the elect, who receive new birth from above
Expiation- expiation means God’s removed my filthiness
The old testament type was the goat into the wilderness
Redemption- we’ve been freed from slavery to sin
And His very own blood is the price He paid, my friend
Propitiation- Propitiation means since the Lamb has died
His work is finished- God’s wrath is satisfied
Adoption- adoption means God is now my Father
I got the hottest Poppa and by the Spirit holler Abba
Reconciliation means there’s no more enmity
God is now a friend to me, we’re no longer enemies
Justification- God declares us righteous
Sanctification- we’re being made into His likeness
Glorification- that’s what happens at the finish
When God conforms believers perfectly to Christ’s image!

(Chorus)

Verse 3

God’s grace is magnificent, He slayed His innocent
Son- through faith and repentance we get the benefits
What is faith? Faith is a gift from God- when we receive this
We trust and treasure the person and finished work of Jesus
Repentance? Repentance is turning from your sin
And trusting Christ as the Spirit cleanses you within
What is grace? Oh, grace is unmerited favor
Our inheritance major ‘cause we cherish the Savior
Right, and if I may quote again, we were doomed with Satan
But believers get Jesus’ righteousness through imputation
Imputation? God takes Jesus’ righteousness amount
Through faith He credits it into the Christian’s account
Anything else? Well, I guess this overview must suffice
But none of this is possible apart from union with Christ
And finally, once you know the ways of the Lord than the
only thing that you can say is Soli Deo Gloria!

(Chorus)

Another vote for Shai Linne.
