below, each week (3-part series) you will hear a short MP3 Audio mix,
created by John Penn (InspireMedia-ATl). This week's Featured Ministers of the Gospel, along with a
written overview explaining the purpose of the song, are as follows:
1. The Spiritual Lyricist: “No Greater Love”
My inspiration for this song came from the Holy Spirit as one day I was
thinking about the love God has for us to the point that he would give his
only Son. I hope the song reaches the lost and pierces their hearts and
minds to encourage them to give the Lord a chance, for he gave them one, and
to exhort and teach the believer and beseech them to help win the lost.
THE SPIRITUAL LYRICIST - In the fall of 1976, Edward L. Williams was born to
Edward Sr. and Grace Williams. However, 20 years later in the fall on 1996,
the Spiritual Lyricist was born. At birth, the Holy Spirit was heavily upon
this future man of God. It was only a matter of time before God would purge,
refine and reshape this broken vessel. The call on his life is to take the
youth to a higher level in the anointing of God; To expand their knowledge
of God and enhance their love for God; and To Be able to preach and teach
through music.
2. Karusso: “Why I Write”
Why I Write was written to make it plain for all to see that vanity and
self-indulgence are of no worth. From women and cars to fortune and fame the
reason why people write has become evident. Self-indulgence has replaced
meaning, and vanity has replaced a message to the masses. After being faced
with such a saddening truth, I began to question the very reason why I write
music. Why I write is not just another song but a declaration to anyone who
seeks to challenge the reason behind Karusso’s music.
KARUSSO- Born Israel Rosales on August 22, 1981, Karusso has always had one
goal in mind and that is to reach out to young people with a message of
truth and healing. No sadder commentary do we have than this “A fatherless
generation with any hope for a future". Karusso knows this first hand, this
being the story of his life. Karusso knows how important and influential
music can be and how far it can carry a message. Having known this, Karusso
has made it his heart's cry to bring a message of hope, restoration, love,
and forgiveness to the streets and to young people across the nation.
Through his music he has chosen to speak his life in hopes of offering a
better life through Jesus Christ. Husband to Cherish and father to son Joel.
3. Sean Slaughter: “Die Daily”
Die Daily is hard. Because of our belief in Christ “we are like sheep to
slaughter” everyday, hence the title Die Daily. This song's lyrics talk
about the undying dedication to become God’s soldier. Die Daily has the
feeling of a warrior in the midst of battle; scarred, bruised and weary, but
unwilling to leave without a victory. Sean Slaughter spits this anthem for
God’s chosen.
SEAN SLAUGHTER - Sean Slaughter uses the simple tool of music, especially
Holy Hip Hop, to convey the timeless message of Christ to a culture so
driven by times. "And the easiest way to get any message, point, or view
across is in the package of music" says Sean. "It make the message easier to
digest and understand". Sean is an international artist and youth minister,
traveling worldwide in over 100 concerts a year proclaiming the Gospel to a
young nation endangered. He has released 3 CD’s including: And Justice for
All (1999), The World is not Enough (2001) and Tha Dungeon: Underground
Classics Chapter 1 (2002). He’s been interviewed and hosted the “Praise the
Lord” program on TBN. He’s also been interviewed on CBN’s “Turning Point”.
In Concerts, he uses his testimony to relate and reach young people right
where they are. And he uses rap to deliver the power packed message of the
Gospel.
4. Indascreet: “Miracles”
Miracles is a track for the whole family, young or old! Indascreet known for
his infectious hooks does it again on this one. The song speaks of the many
Miracles the Lord ahs done for Indascreet, then goes on to speak of the
Miracles that Jesus did for others
INDASCREET - Growing up in the streets of Broward County, Florida,
Indascreet was forced to make many decisions that adversely affected his
life. During his High School years he and a group of friends known as 5 MIC
ENTERTAINMENT performed at many local Battles and Talent Shows. However it
was the decision he made in February 2004, to accept Christ Jesus as his
Savior that would most affect his own life along with the lives of many
others. Soon after this Indascreet began to realize that through his Music
he had the ability to reach out to many of his other brothers and sisters in
the world. In the spring of 2004, with the help of longtime friend Big J and
new friend M-ON Fire, Indascreet was able to help start a very young Youth
Movement in South Florida, known simply as Off The Cross.
