The Crossover Connection Week 51: Supernatural Pop and Rock

I met today’s group while they were students at Liberty University. The concept of improv rap was new to me. To me this wasn’t music, but 40 years later DC Talk was on the cutting edge of music. While it’s been years since DC Talk toured together, choosing solo careers, the Supernatural album changed my perspective of Christian music. Prior to this release, most Christian music to me was blah. Yet, after listening to the entire album, something supernatural began inside of me.

For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the [g]breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart, Hebrews 4:12.

The song Red Letters points to the truth in the passage above. The Bible isn’t just a historical book on God’s relationship with mankind from the beginning of time. Rather, every time you open up the Bible to read, the Holy Spirit often points out things you never noticed in the past. As you begin a new year spiritually, I pray that the words of the Bible and lyrics to the songs on the attached You Tube will inspire you to reach new height in your faith in 2024.
