The Vision

Christ will meet anyone, anywhere, at any time to deliver His saving grace and His mercy. His love is strong enough to deliver the weak and the defenseless. His love is strong enough to heal the pain of life's unfortunate circumstances.  His love is for everyone no matter where you come from. From the suburbs to the hood God is able. Christ will meet you after you just won your fifth Grammy or while you’re taking a hit in the crack house. If you call on him, he will bring you to redemption. Our motto here at LivinSoul International and The Day Jesus Spoke Hip Hop is: It's not just about hip hop it's about Christ meeting you where you are. Christ will meet you anywhere to bring you to the place you should be: In his presence and His will. Your life has value no matter what anyone else tells you. Christ was crucified for you and His death and His resurrection are His statement of Love and Power to us all. He showed us Love by giving His life for us and proved His power by defeating death to claim victory for us all. Our vision is to spread the great message of the Gospel to all that will hear. It is to present the Gospel to the whosoever and encourage them to come to Christ’s saving grace. His grace is sufficient for anyone who calls on His name. It is our intention to reach the brokenhearted, the abandoned, the hopeless, the abused, the rich, the poor, the young, and the old with the victorious message of the Cross. No matter your color or where you are from: From the suburbs to the Hood, Christ will meet you where you are. This is the vision of LivinSoul International Ministries and TheDayJesusSpokeHipHop.com

Take care my friends.

A real 'Soldier in the Battlefied' | An example of Christ meeting you where you are

THI'SL is undoubtedly one of my favorite rappers today. I love his style, his energy, delivery, and production. He is rugged, rough, raw, and real. When you listen to his music, it is as if you can really feel what he is saying. Check him out as he shares some of his testimony in this well done documentary. Please pray that God will strengthen and keep him and his family.

"You will be missed but in our hearts NEVER dismissed"

Kevin 'Tuck' Tucker
March 18, 1974 to January 22, 2011

Sometimes we face occurrences that challenge our faith.. 
Tuck suddenly passing away was one of those moments. 
One of those moments when you fall on your face and cry out to God and ask why.
One of those moments where even silence doesn't comfort you.
Thank God his peace goes beyond my understanding.
For in my understanding I am lost.
Thank God He takes our burdens.
For this is too heavy for me alone.
Thank God for Jesus Christ.
He is the greatest hope of all.
In the picture above is a Husband, Father, Brother, Son, and Friend.
A man to whom all of these offices were given. 
So many labels and so little time to fulfill them.
He will be missed by his wife.
He will be missed by his children.
He will be missed by his family.
He will be missed by his friends.
Please pray that God will strengthen the ones he touched
while being so many things to so many people.
To my brother Tuck; Mad Love and Much Respect my Friend.

I tried again last night

I tried again last night, to talk to my friend, but something’s not right
Though I knew, it couldn’t be true, I lied again last night
He would have been one of the chosen if life were guaranteed
Many would stand in line to take his place, if We could fill God’s need
Its hard not to miss, what we feel was not meant to be taken
So we look to the heavens, for why our wants, were forsaken
With his smile of gold, he paid us all each and everyday
For who could resist the charms of the Man with whom we all did play
With a twist on the theme, bow your heads, listen as I say
Now we lay you down to sleep, in our hearts we will always keep
The love for you, in all the things that we do
A Husband, a Father, a Friend, We Love You
We pray to the lord as your soul he takes
For a heart like yours, he could not wait
So in the morning when we wake
To have known such a man we will never forsake

Kevin Tucker

You brightened our lives and we will never be the same
For not to have known you would have been such a shame
As we shed a smile we shed a tear, cause we care
See you when we get there, it’s a place we all will share
I tried again last night, to talk to my friend, but something’s not right
Though I knew, it couldn’t be true, I lied again last night
You will be missed but in our hearts NEVER dismissed

Imagination

It was just my imagination once again
Pretending I didn't have to deal with losing a friend
Just the other day I was dapping your hand
Today I am grieving, missing you man
I remember all the laughs, all the talks on the phone
How I would rag you about having a tight shirt on
Without hesitation you hit back and said
I know you ain't talking with that big 'ol head
Back and forth we'd go, for granted time we took
Then Ty would jump in and say, 'Let's go get a hook'
Eggspecations, Coastal Flats, a stop up at Clyde's
Alto Plaza, the Dock or maybe V5
Regardless the venue, we really didn't care
Because we were going to talk about everyone there
The best of friends, inseparable, together we'd be
Forever known as BBG
And Monday through Thursday at three on the dot
We were in the Westfields gym, yeah we ran that spot
We'd hit the weights hard and at the end of the day
Holla at you later were the words we would say
January 20 in Eggs, we were up in the place
Unfortunately, that was the last time I'd see your face
Your laugh has been silenced, your smile no longer glows
When will I see you again, only God knows
So let's play a game, my favorite, pretend
You are standing right beside me, tripping my friend
Before you had to roll your hand you'd extend
I reached for it, then reality hit, it was my imagination again

Keep thinking on these things

In a world filled with so many moving parts, it can be extremely challenging to find true focus and peace. Our thoughts can sometimes feel flooded and under constant assault from everyday life. From the time we open our eyes to welcome the new day we are already being bombarded with the thought of the days upcoming events. Before we can even get into our day we are already overwhelmed by it.

In these times we must remember that Christ has given us the authority to take every thought captive (2 Cor 10:4-6 NASB). So as you experience the blessing of a new day, refocus and think on these things:

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. (Phil 4:8-9 NKJV)

You will discover that if you meditate on these things your life will be replete with the things you think on more times than not.

Take care my friends.
