Souljahz

hey all, just gotta share some really interesting stuff i found at about midnight.. half an hour ago.. i was watching TV3 (a local tv channel) and they were showing a program called "One World Jam: A Concert For Global Harmony".. i originally thought it was one of those things where they talk about world peace, very propaganda-like stuff.. i was quite surprised at the way it was done.. anyway, what they did was to get artistes, with the likes of Chicago, Boyz II Men, Ja Rule and Sir Elton John to sing some really inspirational songs on world peace (stuff that they have already written).. to top that off, they had a speech from Nelson Mandela, a short documentary on the "Lost Boys of Sudan" and stuff like that.. anyway, what struck me was the finale.. a group of siblings under the band named Souljahz Souljahz is a Christian band of three siblings from California and in that performance, they sang the song "All Around The World".. some of you have probably heard of the band, but here's my point: they're Christian.. almost strictly into the CCM ministry (if i'm not mistaken) and yet having the recognition enough to land them with the likes of some of the world's most famous artistes.. and they got the finale slot.. You can read about Souljahz from Christianity Today.. click here: Souljahz many times we look at the Grammys or the Oscars and how people just say "I thank God" or "I thank Jesus Christ" so often Rosie O' Donnell makes a big joke out of it.. that's using God's name in vain.. in simple terms.. but here, we have a classic example of Christians in the role of people promoting peace and harmony, able to voice a Godly sound into the airwaves... that speaks more than the sex, love, drugs, anger-related musicians just "thanking God" for their success.. that's the way we Christians should be.. make the impact in our world today.. and then, let them know that we're doing this for God and let them eventually "praise our Father in heaven" (Matt 5:16).. that way, our actions, our speech, our thoughts are all in line with giving God the glory... i'll end with Matthew 5:16 - "In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." go get 'em
