#33-"Stomp" a 1996 urban contemporary gospel song by God's Property featuring Kirk Franklin and Cheryl "Salt" James

"Stomp" changed everything musically....when it came out in 1996 the Christian world stopped to listen. From the introduction of the song by Kirk Franklin himself, you knew you were in for a treat:

For those of you that think gospel music has gone to far. You think we got too radical with our message.
Well I got news for you, you ain't heard nothin' yet,
and if you don't know now you know, glory Glory!!.

And it didn't disappoint. Whereas in most decent Christian songs, we are expected to sit down and hear how good the voice of the singer(s) is, "Stomp" was just once of those songs that invited you to join in on the fun/worship/singing. The best part was the
"GP, are you with me?"
"Oh yea we havin church and we ain't goin nowhere."


I didn't know any of the words to the song other than when to say "STOMP" but that was all I needed to realize that Christian music had the potential to be cool. It brought out the rhythm in even the most nonrhythmic of white people.

To top it off, it had "Salt" from Salt-N-Pepa in it!

#150-Holy Magic Hair (sort of)

By
Preface: As with many posts, the claims made in this post are far from being definitive to the whole apostolic movement. In fact I has been very surprised and pleased with the openness of many apostolic officials and higher ups to denounce the doctrine of "magic hair" as a heresy in recent months. It must also be noted that whatever controversy may be derived from this post, the thoughts are not really my own. Many men more articulate and intelligent than I have already tried to openly combat this theory and have done so in a far more effective fashion than I could. For the most comprehensive understanding of Holy magic hair, please visit  http://holymagichair.com/wordpress/ . Also note that this is not a criticism anyway in uncut hair, nor is it advocating hair cutting. I'm critiquing a doctrine that has developed around long hair. Okay, when I originally started SAL, I had a post about HMH (holy magic hair) in mind. However, after a beloved teacher of mine spoke o...

#280-Jeff Arnold and His "Idiot" Friends.

By
So basically this happened last week at Because of the Times (no, not the Kings of Leon album, but the preacher's conference that was named after the album): And by "this happened" I really mean a Jeff Arnold sermon-rant to formally announce his senility. Literally, the dude was Khrushchev slamming his shoe on a podium, a rambling Richard Sherman in a postgame interview, a conservative Michael "Shame on you Mr. Bush" Moore at the Oscars. In short, Jeff Arnold pulled a Kanye in front of anyone who matters in the UPC. And it's not like we didn't see it coming . For those who haven't been paying attention to Twitter or simply got wise enough to not really care one iota about the ongoing Reality TV tragicomedy that is the UPC, let me tell ya, you're missing a whole lot of chuckle moments. But to catch you up to speed.. here's the run-down of Mr. Arnold's sermon: -Confesses aspirations to be lauded by God as one of the greatest ...

#285 - #NAYC2015 (An Ode To Broken Commitments)

By Anonymous
Editor's Comment: To ensure credit where credit is due, Glen McGee wrote this post (side note: goosebumps ahead)- Fresh on the heels of North American Youth Congress 2015 it’s the Stuff Apostolics Like Recap of Events! Nah, just kiddin. We actually have finally crossed the threshold of being so far removed we have absolutely no idea who sang, preached, screamed, got wifed up or anything else that may have occurred. I've had a post on my mind for a while now and given that I spent last night looking at the Instagram hashtags from NAYC, and became very, very sad, I thought now was a good time to post it. Looking through Twitter and Instagram there are countless posts of excitement and zealous emotion for the time spent there. And why wouldn’t there be? When you live in a culture that’s founded on isolation from everything that surrounds you, and you’re constantly reminded that you’re “in the world, not of it,” it’s absolutely intoxicating to completely take ...
