The Label and artist collective has also released an 18 track album by the same name. This video and song serves as an Introduction to what the Label and album is all about. </p><p>Verbal Renaissance is bringing a lyrical renaissance back to hip-hop. VR is committed to creating quality and unforgettable music while also expressing a love for deep, rich theology. </p><p>Both of these worlds are often at odds in Christian Hip-hop (great, fun music vs. deep, rich theology). It seems you can't make fun music if you take theology seriously; however VR doesn't believe this has to be the case. VR is a Record Label and Collective of Artists founded by Justin Martyr in 2020. The Label has signed four artists including the national names Justin Martyr (Miami, FL), Aasha Marie (Chicago, IL) and Regenerit (Chicago, IL). </p><p>"Welcome To The VR" was produced by Justin Martyr and he produced the entire album. The video was directed by Justin Martyr and Jim Yeung. Jim Yeung filmed and edited the video as well for Shaded Blur Films. </p><p>Watch The Music Video on YouTube here: <a class="no-pjax" href="https://youtu.be/-WLrDtCqFEQ?si=D3tKQUsx9Wc1lzkI" data-link-type="url">https://youtu.be/-WLrDtCqFEQ?si=D3tKQUsx9Wc1lzkI</a></p><p>or here: <a class="no-pjax" href="/videos" data-link-type="page" data-link-label="Videos">justinmartyr305.com/videos</a></p><p>Stream or buy The Album "Welcome To The VR" today!</p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/verbalrenaissance/welcome-to-the-vr">https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/verbalrenaissance/welcome-to-the-vr</a></p><p>Stream on Spotify </p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://open.spotify.com/album/37dVhhI5FznJy9hj1qtcJ8?si=JSB7m08UQw2_mXrff713hg">https://open.spotify.com/album/37dVhhI5FznJy9hj1qtcJ8?si=JSB7m08UQw2_mXrff713hg</a></p><p>Purchase on Apple Music </p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://music.apple.com/us/artist/justin-martyr/1460761126">https://music.apple.com/us/artist/justin-martyr/1460761126</a></p><p>Listen on YouTube</p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://youtu.be/p_-aqWXsuqA">https://youtu.be/p_-aqWXsuqA</a></p><p>Get The Single "Welcome To The VR"on all major platforms!</p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/verbalrenaissance/welcome-to-the-vr-feat-justin-martyr-aasha-marie-regenerit--rashawna?utm_source=SendGrid&utm_medium=Email+&utm_campaign=website">https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/verbalrenaissance/welcome-to-the-vr-feat-justin-martyr-aasha-marie-regenerit--rashawna?utm_source=SendGrid&utm_medium=Email+&utm_campaign=website</a></p><p> </p><p>Follow Verbal Renaissance on all our social media channels:</p><p> </p><p>Instagram: instagram.com/verbalrenaissance </p><p>Youtube: youtube.com/verbalrenaissance</p><p>Facebook: facebook.com/VerbalRenaissance1</p><p>Twitter: twitter.com/verbrenaissance</p><p>Tiktok: tiktok.com/verbalrenaissance</p><p>Bookings: <a class="no-pjax" href="mailto:verbalrenaissance@gmail.com">verbalrenaissance@gmail.com</a></p><p> </p><p>#verbalrenaissance #welcometothevr #justinmartyr #aashamarie #regenerit #albumcompleted </p>Justin Martyrtag:justinmartyr305.com,2005:Post/72756502023-09-19T10:37:00-05:002023-10-01T11:31:20-05:00Verbal Renaissance Interviewed by Miss Tytus 2!!!<p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://youtube.com/live/9y4BpOCzuvk?si=ZcaG82LjQFhQ5t0j">https://youtube.com/live/9y4BpOCzuvk?si=ZcaG82LjQFhQ5t0j</a></p><p>☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽</p><p>Watch Interview Above: </p><p>Our Label @verbalrenaissance recently did a YouTube live show with our amazing sister in Christ and apologist @MissTytus2 discussing our new album #welcometothevr we also talked about theology, Deconstruction, music, apologetics and more!

In 2014 Justin began doing ministry in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago working alongside and eventually on staff with Englewood Family Outreach a Christian non-profit ministry in that neighborhood. While there Justin saw a lot of pain, death, trauma, and hopelessness as he worked with three sets of one historic Chicago gang. This Song presents three different perspectives of street life.</p>
<p>Justin’s verse is first and comes from the perspective of someone not from the streets, raised in a two-parent home absent of poverty, who has a heart to reach men and women in the streets. The second verse features a lyrical heavyweight and brother in the faith Thre; and details his former life in a historic gang on Chicago's south side and how Jesus saved him out of that lifestyle! Finally, the last voice on the track is an interview of a young man still in a historic gang in Chicago who has been shot multiple times and yet survived! He is giving his perspective on life and what it is like to be born and raised in that situation.</p>
<p>Cold Streets was Produced by Justin Martyr and is available for free download on his website on justinmartyr305.com/music and on YouTube. The Music Video was directed by Justin Martyr and Jim Yeung. Jim Yeung also filmed and edited the video under Shaded Blur Films. The cover art was designed by Andrew Williams. Justin's goal with this song is to present various perspectives of the streets in order to challenge those outside of that life to care and be willing to have compassion and do some work in their closest inner city.</p>
<p>Most people in gangs are born into that situation; regularly dealing with poverty, low-self-esteem, racism, sexual abuse, bad schools, robberies, early deaths and a plethora of life experiences that cause great PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) among other issues. Most churches in these areas do not preach sound doctrine, many lack access to mental health resources and a sense of hopelessness is the norm. Another goal of this song is to raise awareness of what is really going on and to let the streets know that the people of God have a heart to reach them and there is hope for a changed life through the Gospel of Jesus Christ!</p>
<p>The streets need to know that they can change for the better. THRE and many others are living proof that God can save you and deliver you out of gang life and make you one of his soldiers that now can bring others to salvation! "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away; behold, all things are new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).</p>

We’ve seen a young man carry out a shameful racist attack at a grocery store in Buffalo New York that targeted and murdered 10 black shoppers in the name of white supremacy. </p>
<p><br>As believers we condemn white supremacy and any form of racism, there is no way around that! A young man was killed in Chicago at the famous bean in Millennium Park and our hearts should be broken at another shameful killing now downtown in a place most don’t expect to hear of such a slaying. </p>
<p>Shame and grief should fill our hearts after an Asian church was targeted for yet another shooting and yesterday, yet another horrific shooting went down at an Elementary School in Texas killing 19 children, two teachers, wounding 17 others. The shooter killed his own grandmother and he died as well. I never thought another Elementary school shooting would happen after the one in Connecticut. I cannot imagine sending my young children to school and finding out they were murdered for no reason while there! </p>
<p>We pray for and send our love out to everyone affected by these incidents! Our world is broken and fallen! This is another reason why we must preach the Gospel to as many people as we can! We live in an evil broken world where our next breath is not promised! Until Jesus returns, we will continue to experience murder, mass shootings, racism and brokenness! But until Jesus returns, we should be giving the message of Christ to change hearts and redeem souls! </p>
<p>Though we know that laws do not change hearts, laws do restrain evil, and some laws do need to change as we examine where our society is! Lord bring us your peace; I'm praying Philippians 4:7 "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."</p>

I'm thankful for my Wife, My Son, My Parents and Siblings on this day! </p>
<p>But I'd like to take this time to thank my Hero in the Faith The Ambassador William Branch @ambassador215 along with his legendary group The Cross Movement! </p>
<p>I remember as a kid seeing them on BET on Saturday Morning on "Lift Every Voice" with Bro Gerard. These guys were the First Young Black men that looked like me ethnically and culturally that were serious about their faith and skilled in their craft. Because of this brother, his group and artists on their label like FLAME, Da T.R.U.T.H. & Lecrae I was introduced to Sound Theology, Apologetics, Church History and Hermeneutics amongst other things that I still hold dear to even now. I am who I am in large part because of the music and ministry of The Ambassador. </p>
<p>I've had the pleasure of meeting him, doing shows alongside him and building a friendship. Just a few months ago I got to connect with him at a Conference in North Carolina that he invited me to. </p>
<p>I also had the pleasure of directing music and playing drums for the Cross Movement Reunion at The 2016 Legacy Conference. Shout out to Brian Dye for helping to put that together. I am grateful to call The Ambassador a personal friend, mentor and I appreciate his Legacy that continues along with the Legacy of The Cross Movement! I wish anyone reading this post a blessed, happy and healthy Thanksgiving Day. </p>

<p>DEVOTIONAL: WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE? </p>
<p>PUBLISHED ON JULY 1, 2021 </p>
<p>THE AGE-OLD QUESTION: </p>
<p>There are many questions that people ask regarding the Christian faith. One of the most popular age-old questions that people looking into Christianity or detractors of the faith ask is “Why do bad things happen to good people?” Often believers ask this question as well. When we look at our world how can a loving God allow pain and suffering to good people? Surely someone like Hitler or your neighborhood rapist, they deserve bad things in their life, but not us good people? Disease, adultery, divorce, hit and runs, accidental deaths, drunk drivers, molestation and rape God should always step in and end these types of events before they happen since he is all powerful right? </p>
<p>THE BIBLICAL ANSWER: </p>
<p>Well, to be honest only once in history did something bad happen to someone good. Jesus the only good person to ever live on earth; his betrayal, arrest and death was the only time something bad happened to someone good! Yeshua the Christ was fully God and fully man and he never sinned a day in his life (2 Cor. 5:21). None of us are good (Ps. 14:1-3, Ps. 53:1-3, Rom. 3:10-12) for we are all sinners and have broken God’s laws and fall short of his glory (Rom. 3:23). The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life! (Rom. 6:23). We deserve hell due to our sin and God would be just if he allowed all of humanity to perish! Unless we repent and trust Christ we will indeed perish and receive our just penalty (Luke 13:3). </p>
<p>THE CLOSING QUESTION: </p>
<p>The greatest good in all history (Jesus dying and rising for our sins) came through the greatest evil in history (the same event the murder of God’s Son). Instead of asking why bad things happen to good people, a better question we should ask is this: “Why do good things happen to bad people?” Why did God give us a way out of hell by sending his Son to die and rise again to save us from sin? (Jn. 3:16). Why does God give us food, family, children, talent’s, gifts and other good things when we continue to sin against him, break his laws, take him for granted, cheat on him and deny him? This is a question we should all ask ourselves each and every day.</p>

Music Video Out Now!!!<p>C.H.E.S.S. is the sixth single and video off Justin’s fourth album N.N.S.M. It is a song that highlights the biblical doctrine of Election! The acronym C.H.E.S.S. stands for Chosen Heirs Elected Saved and Secured. Though it is an often controversial and/or neglected doctrine, Justin's heart behind the song is to highlight the joy that comes along with knowing that even before the world’s foundation; God elected, chose, and predestined those who are in Christ to be on his team! (Eph. 1:4). C.H.E.S.S. features Chicago native Regenerit and was produced by Justin Martyr for Justin-Credible Productions. </p>
<p>This song is not about choosing a theological camp to fight for; but C.H.E.S.S. is about acknowledging the awe, wonder and gratitude that we as believers should be displaying as people who recognize God's sovereignty in our salvation! The video was directed by Justin Martyr and Jim Yeung and it was filmed and edited by Jim Yeung for Shaded Blur films. </p>

The online edition was published back in July and in August the Print Edition was released. </p>
<p>Thanks to Daniel Bair for getting me a copy of the magazine in print. Thanks again to @emlybelz for reaching out and doing the interview. Check out the interview about the work we do and some of the things I've seen in a community that experiences violence, racism, poverty and an often irrelevant church presence. With all these challenges Jesus Christ still remains the answer! Read the article here: </p>

In the United States we have the blessing and privilege to vote should Vote for whatever candidate you feel is best; I voted for a 3rd party candidate. Voting changes things and laws do help society. Unfortunately many Christians were riding harder for Trump or Biden than they do for the Gospel! That's sad and my question to those going overboard for one candidate over the other is when's the last time God used you to win a soul? When is the last time you've made a disciple of Jesus?</p>Justin Martyrtag:justinmartyr305.com,2005:Post/64491852020-10-05T00:08:13-05:002020-11-17T14:47:56-06:00New Music Video Out for #NNSM!<h4><span class="font_large">Justin Martyr aka Justin-Credible has released the video for his Single "NNSM" which stands for “New Name Same Mission.” This song is the title track for the Deluxe version of his Album NNSM that is out now!

This track explores a portion of the journey Justin took earning his Bachelor's and Master's Degree and changing his name from Justin-Credible to Justin Martyr. During this time, he moved from his hometown of Miami, FL to Atlanta, Ga and then to Chicago, IL to attend the historic Moody Bible Institute and Moody Theological Seminary. This song is rapped over Tye Tribbet's "One Nation" Instrumental from his album entitled "Life." Tye Tribbett remains one of Justin's biggest musical influences. </p>

I've seen White Men do mass shootings and get treated better than that by cops after they've slaughtered groups of people!</p>
<p>What a joke! Yes we need to focus on the Gospel and I know many cops are not corrupt like this but we also must focus on God's justice (Job 8:3, Micah 6:8) and those cops need to be charged with murder and the one who caused his death given a life sentence! If you are my brother or sister in Christ are you going to mourn with me or pray for me or will you debate me? There's a place for disagreement but not while someone is currently mourning! We can debate the facts of the case in a few weeks.</p>Justin Martyrtag:justinmartyr305.com,2005:Post/63180582020-05-15T15:31:33-05:002020-07-24T02:19:29-05:00Watch this Ephesians 4 Sermon by Rev.

<p> </p>
<p>With this song, the goal is to encourage everyone to trust the Lord in all things and at all times! More than ever as we deal with the coronavirus we as the people of God must remember that God is in control of all things but due to the sin of this world we live in a fallen creation with death, disease and pandemics. </p>
<p>We cannot surrender to fear brothers and sisters because God has not given us a Spirit of fear, for he has given to us a Spirit of power, love and a sound mind! (2 Timothy 1:7). Jesus reigns supreme over sickness and disease but it is his sovereign prerogative and choice who and when to heal. </p>
<p>Will you be able to say God is still good if he doesn’t do what you want him to do? God brings rain on the just and unjust! If this world ends, or a disease or the government takes us out then we are going to heaven to be with the Lord forever! As Christians we cannot lose! Absent from the body is present with the Lord! </p>
<p>Times like these are some of the best times to be a Christian! We are the only ones with true hope and people are thinking about their own mortality much more than they normally are. Let's be wise and sensitive as people are searching for answers and they are even more open to hearing the Gospel! </p>
<p>Justin wants to remind us that God is still on the throne and no matter what we go through as believers we can remain Optimistic because we don't just live for this life; we also live for the life that's to come! We also know that Our God is in control of all things and Sovereign over this world! If you don't know the Lord today, we encourage you to repent, surrender your life to Jesus and lay up for yourself treasures in heaven which no one can steal or take away! (Matt. 6:19-20). </p>
<p>This song is a remix of one of Justin’s favorite songs from his childhood "Optimistic" by the Legendary Group Sounds of Blackness; Produced by Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis and Gary Hines. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis recently reacted to Justin’s video by liking the video on Instagram! As anyone could imagine this was a huge honor for Justin since these are the men who signed Sounds of Blackness and are legends for their production work in the music industry! They've sold millions of records, won countless awards including grammy's and they’ve done legendary work for Michael Jackson, Prince, Usher, Janet Jackson, Yolanda Adams and many more! </p>
<p>Alot of people remix songs but it's not often that legends in the game and the people who produced what you remixed even hear what you've done or let alone react to it! I'm truly honored! I believe there is much more to come. </p>
<p>As a producer and musician Justin feels it was his obligation to flip the song and give it his own spin! The aforementioned artists/producers are true musical inspirations! </p>
<p>The video was directed by Justin Martyr @justinmartyr305 and Jim Yeung @jimehjam </p>
<p>Shot at @EnglewoodFamilyOutreach and @CorlissHighSchool </p>

<p style="text-align: center;">(Here is the Link above for the full article) </p>
<p>Here's a Great thoughtful response to COVID-19 by one of my colleagues in Ministry Daniel Bair @EnglewoodFamily</p>
<p>If you could push a button and rid the world of the Coronavirus, would you do it? What if so doing would kill one person? For the sake of discussion, let's say it is someone you don't know who will fall dead and you will never know who it was. Could you push the button? What if it was ten or a hundred who would die -- wouldn't it be better for the few to die than many others? </p>
<p>On a road trip with my family last year I posed a similar question to my children. I gave them a button and told them to think of whatever they most wanted in the world, to imagine it in all its glory, and at the simple press of the button it would be theirs, but someone in the world would also drop dead because of it (I know, perhaps a bit morbid). None of them pushed the button, but that might have been because they were pretty sure it wasn't really going to work. </p>
<p>I use this illustration to launch into a discussion of COVID-19 and the poor. We could spend our time considering the disproportionate effect of sickness on the materially poor (the first to feel the economic backlash from time off work and loss of a daily meal due to school closures). We could wrestle with inadequate health care in low-income communities. However, having started this with a philosophical question, I want to continue more in that vein. </p>
<p>Why is COVID-19 such a big deal? Perhaps because at this point it has taken the lives of over 6500 people globally. But did you know the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN estimates that as many as 25,000 people around the world die every day because of starvation? Did you know that according to the World Health Organization 15,000 children around the world die every day (more than half being preventable)? No, I don't think it is the death toll that has us scared. I think it is the fact that it shatters the false sense of security in which we live our daily lives. COVID-19 can strike anywhere, regardless of health, wealth, or prosperity. Disease and death can strike any of us, and that is why we fear this virus. </p>
<p>Yes, we should reschedule large gatherings, distance ourselves somewhat socially, cover our coughs, and wash our hands. After all, this last one is a biblical command: "Wash your hands, you sinners!" (James 4.8). But let us not neglect the whole of that verse, "Draw near to God, and God will draw near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded." Purell cannot purify our hearts. Only the blood of Jesus Christ has that cleansing power (Following the paradigm of our illustration, this is where God pushes the button, not to destroy a stranger, but to bring about the death of his only Son that we may be saved and brought into fellowship with him.). But I think James would further assert that the expression of this in loving our neighbor is the evidence that our hearts have been purified and the natural outworking of cleansed hearts. After all, he says, "If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well" (James 2.8). And this he says in the context of not showing partiality. </p>
<p>Moreover, the warnings to us who are wealthy in James are clear ("Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days" James 5.1-3). Let us love our neighbors by washing our hands; but let us not neglect to love the poor of this world who face the reality of disease, death, privation, and abandonment every day. The fear we feel in the face of COVID-19 is the daily reality for many in our world; may we be as zealous for restoring them as we are for ending this virus.</p>Justin Martyrtag:justinmartyr305.com,2005:Post/62089012020-02-08T15:28:48-06:002020-03-30T15:35:43-05:00My Thoughts on the Death of Kobe Bryant<p>I'm Praying for @kobebryant 's family and for the families of all the victims. Celebrity deaths cause us all for the most part to face the inevitability of our own mortality. As a basketball fan I previously stated that I was never a Kobe fan. I respected his game no doubt; but I was an MJ, Iverson, LeBron and D-Wade fan. Another thing that has sent shockwaves throughout the basketball world pertaining to Kobe's death is the fact that no NBA Legend on an iconic level has ever died this young and this soon after retirement. </p>
<p><br>Wilt Chamberlain, Moses Malone & George Mikan (a legend but not as known) were legends who died but they were in their 60s and older. Kobe's career after basketball had already gotten off to an amazing start with an Oscar win and multiple innovative business ventures. As we think about death I pray that if you don't know Jesus you will repent and turn to him right now!!! I then pray that if you are saved you will use this tragedy as a springboard to the Gospel of Christ which offers the only hope we have for eternity! We will all stand before God's throne to give an account; whether you believe in God, Jesus, the Bible or not! None of us know when our time on earth will end "For it is appointed to men once to die and after death comes judgment." Hebrews 9:27 </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Justin Martyr aka Justin-Credible has released the music video for his latest single "WOTM" which stands for “Way of the Master.” WOTM is the third single for his upcoming album entitled NNSM (New Name Same Mission). "WOTM" was produced by Justin Martyr for his production company “Justin-Credible Productions”. The video was directed by Justin Martyr along with Jim Yeung. The video was Shot & edited by Jim Yeung for Shaded Blur Films. </p>
<p>???‼‼‼?????????♨✅????? </p>
<p>WOTM was inspired by the ministry of Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron & Living Waters Publications. Living Waters is a ministry that equips Christians to share their faith and do apologetics. Living Waters has had the largest impact of any ministry in shaping Justin Martyr’s theology and approach to apologetics. In this song Justin challenges the all too common practice of churches declaring people saved all because they have repeated a “sinner’s prayer” in church. True and False Conversion is a biblical teaching explored in this song as well. Many people have been given a false assurance of their salvation that doesn’t even come from Scripture. Justin encourages us to share our faith the way that Jesus the Master did using God’s Law to convict the sinner and show them their need for a Savior (Ps. 19:7, Matt. 13, 19:16-30, Gal. 3:24). Hence the title “WOTM-Way of the Master.” </p>
<p>This video features amazing dancers: @apaulsopaul @itz_dre, shout out to @Churchboyeric Eric McCullough for helping to make it happen! </p>

He also rapped and played drums on Level 8’s 2011 Album “The One” and was featured on the 2016 album by V. Keys entitled “Clarity #2016.” Born and raised in Miami, FL; Justin moved to Atlanta, GA in 2012 for theological and musical networking and then to Chicago, IL in the same year to attend the prestigious Moody Bible Institute and Moody Theological Seminary where he graduated with both his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Theology and Pastoral Ministry. </p>
<p>Currently, Justin lives in Chicago with his lovely wife and serves as a Pastor/Elder at New Life Community Church in Bridgeport and he also serves as Pastor of Visitation at Urban Youth and Family Outreach in Englewood, Chicago.

Psalms 14:1<p><span class="font_large">Psalms 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good. Maybe some of us recognize that the Word of God speaks about fools and foolish actions. However, biblically Speaking What is a Fool? </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">In the original language the word we translate as "fool" comes from the masculine Hebrew noun נָבָל (nā·ḇāl): n.masc.; ≡ fool, i.e., man or person who lacks understanding or even the capacity for understanding; implying he/she is a rebel, having a willful moral insolence and impudence and disobedience to the law of God (1Sa 25:25; Job 30:8; Ps 14:1; 39:9; 53:2, Pr 17:7, Isa 32:5, Jer. 17:11).</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">In our culture we hear the word fool and think it means someone who is stupid intellectually. However, the fool in Psalms 14 is a moral and spiritual fool. This fool is the person that sees the clear evidence of a creator from creation around them (Romans 1) but says he does not exist. Though the fool says in his heart there is no God, and though mankind refuses to seek after his creator; The Lord has given believers his righteousness and he restores and refreshes us during our trials! Don't be a fool; recognize the obvious that there is a God; then repent and surrender your life to God!</span></p>

<p>Justin Martyr aka Justin-Credible has released the new single "WOTM" which stands for “Way of the Master.” WOTM is the third single for his upcoming album entitled NNSM (New Name Same Mission). "WOTM" was produced by Justin Martyr and stands for “Way of The Master.” This song was inspired by the ministry of Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron & Living Waters Publications. Living Waters is a ministry that equips Christians to share their faith and do apologetics. In this song Justin challenges the all too common practice of churches declaring people saved all because they have repeated a “sinner’s prayer” in church. True and False Conversion is a biblical teaching explored in this song. Many people have been given a false assurance of their salvation that doesn’t come from Scripture. Justin encourages us to share our faith the way that Jesus the Master did using God’s Law to convict the sinner and show them their need for a Savior (Ps. 19:7, Matt. 13, 19:16-30, Gal. 3:24). Hence the title “WOTM-Way of the Master.” </p>

<p>13 Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters, if the world hates you. </p>
<p>-Brothers and sisters in Christ, many times in the Word we hear that the world will hate us. This isn’t the only time in Scripture that we hear that the world will hate us. We are not to be surprised if and when this happens! Most Christians around the world and throughout history have been hated! We have for the most part lived in favor in the United States of America as Christians since this country was founded! However, that is beginning to change. The LGBT and other liberal and postmodern communities are coming hard against Christians who believe and preach the Bible in its fullness. </p>
<p>-In the last few years we have begun to see biblical speech be regarded as “hate speech.” There is talk in the Government about tax exempt status being taken away from churches who don’t affirm gay marriage and churches that speak out against it! The world boasts that they are “tolerant” but they’re only tolerant when you agree with them. They are extremely intolerant of Christians. </p>
<p>-If I could poll my readers I would ask how many of us have heard of the term homophobia or homophobic? </p>
<p>How about Islamophobia? </p>
<p>-I'm sure that most of us are familiar with these terms; let me quickly define them just in case you haven't heard of them.</p>
<p>According to dictionary.com homophobia is an irrational fear or prejudice against homosexuals. </p>
<p>Islamophobia is an irrational fear or prejudice against Muslims. </p>
<p>-The word phobia means fear, so now if you disagree with homosexuality as a lifestyle, if you disagree with Islam and say you believe the Quran is false now you are labeled homophobic or Islamophobic! </p>
<p>- So, as we see unbelievers have made up words in order to silence Christians. How many people have heard of the word Christophobia? You probably never heard of it because no one really uses it. David Lynn a Pastor, open-air preacher and Evangelist in Toronto coined the phrase Christophobia in order to respond to the homophobia and Islamophobia that Christians are too often falsely accused of. </p>
<p>-Christophobia is an irrational fear or prejudice against Christians! So, I encourage you brother’s and sister’s the next time someone asks you are you a homophobe? Are you Islamophobic? Turn it right back on them and ask them are you a Christophobe? Are you Christophobic? We have every right to disagree with them, no one can force us to believe what they believe. Ask them, do you hate me because I follow Christ? Are you discriminating against me because I believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven and that the Bible is the perfect inspired Word of God? </p>
<p>-Do some believers mistreat and hate homosexuals and Muslims; yes. Many believers have unfortunately misrepresented Christ and have failed at loving on the gay and Muslim community and we have to own that. We can’t sweep that all under the rug even if we ourselves did not participate in any of the sinful hate against these communities. </p>
<p> -However, disagreement and mistreatment are not the same thing. We must love on these communities (Mk. 12:30, 31), but we lovingly defend the faith, we lovingly defend the truth! (Jude 3) We don’t allow the hypocrisy that they promote. They want us to agree with them and when we don’t, they try to paint us at hateful. Don’t fall for it brothers and sisters! Be strong in the Lord and in the courage of his might! </p>
<p>-The world is going to hate us brothers and sisters. Persecution is coming for the American church and God is going to expose the fakes and counterfeits! Take courage because we can stand firm against Satan and the world though because through Christ we already have the victory!!!</p>Justin Martyrtag:justinmartyr305.com,2005:Post/57549502019-05-14T21:29:47-05:002019-07-31T00:53:26-05:00Is Christianity The White Man's Religion?<p>Is Christianity The White Man's Religion? Of Course not!!! I've released the new single "White Man’s Religion?" which is the second single for my upcoming album entitled NNSM (New Name Same Mission). “White Man’s Religion?” is a song that debunks the false, but well-known claim that Christianity is a religion that belongs to White (European) people. Many believe that the Christian faith was introduced to black people and other minorities primarily through slavery and colonization. Justin debunks this lie propagated by many black cults and Pan-African religions through biblical, historical and logical argumentation. The fact of the matter is this: Christianity is an Eastern, Asian and African religion from the very first pages of the First Covenant in Genesis to the conclusion in the book of Revelation in the Second Covenant. </p>
<p>Sadly, many people were introduced to an erroneous form of Christianity through the atrocities of slavery and colonization, however Christianity had been in Africa for over 1500 years before the infamous Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Jesus; the central figure of the Christian faith actually lived in Africa and the Gospel reached Africa well before it made its way to Europe. This is a work of art that is not meant to promote Black Supremacy, but biblical and historical accuracy. This song cuts deep and is sure to spark conversation as it touches on difficult subjects such as slavery, racism, colonization, black cults, ethnic identity and Christian unity. While many aspects of the subject matter are controversial; it is a necessary conversation to have, nonetheless. </p>
<p>Christianity is a faith for all people and all nations! “For God So Loved the World that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him would not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16.</p>
<p>Shoutout to Levante Ellis @YunenX for designing the artwork for my new song "White Man's Religion?" Yeshua, Jesus the Christ is the most important person to ever exist in all history! Almost every country and culture has depicted their version of Christ and what they feel he looked like. </p>
<p>In the artwork we have different depictions of Christ by different cultures and countries. From left to right we have: Hungarian, Hispanic/Latino, Filipino, Native, (the next two) White/European, Black American, Chinese, Black American a second time, Japanese, another Black representation and finally the standard well known but inaccurate White/European depiction. </p>
<p>Of course all of these pictures fall short and are just representations and the black bars covering the eyes symbolizes the fact that none of these pictures actually measure up to who Jesus really is. They are once again just representations. </p>
<p>What's most important isn't what he looked like but who he was and what he did! He lived a perfect life, died on the Cross and rose again defeating death, hell and the grave! No matter what you think Christ looked like, have you repented and put your trust in him?</p>

He had amazingly sound theology, supernatural boldness and quotable statements of wisdom that seem to have no end in his writings. Recently I discovered that unlike so many "Evangelical Heroes" he not only never owned slaves, he actually spoke out against the evil of slavery in his day! It's sad to know that because he spoke out against slavery many white Christians in the South in his time tried to stop him from preaching in the U.S., (he was from Great Britain). I'm glad to know that he didn't cower in silence or comply with "cultural norms" nor did he live out the contradiction of owning other human beings (i.e. slaves) while still preaching freedom through the Christian Gospel. Spurgeon wasn't a hypocrite in this area, he knew that the Gospel was more than just proclamation (preaching it) but also application (living out all it implies). Salute to C.H. Spurgeon! </p>

<p>My real name is Justin Francis and I used to go by the stage name “Justin-Credible.” The first 4 albums & musical projects I participated in were all under this name. However, I now go by the name Justin Martyr. I still use Justin-Credible as a secondary name and I have a production company called Justin-Credible Productions but overtime as my theology grew and changed, I realized that the name Justin-Credible did not fit my theological convictions nor was it a great representation of who I am as an artist. </p>
<p>I wanted a name that partially used my real name (Justin) and as I studied church history, I learned about a Church Father named Justin Martyr. He was a great scholar and is regarded by many to be the creator and/or father of Apologetics which is the branch of Christian theology and philosophy that seeks to defend the Christian faith. </p>
<p>I began to consider a name change and the final decision came during a time I was speaking with one of my mentors and heroes “The Ambassador” aka William “Duce” Branch. He encouraged me to “point to the one who actually is Incredible.” That was all I had to hear. </p>
<p>So, what exactly is a martyr? A lot of people don’t know what a martyr is, or they can’t even pronounce the word; let me help you. It is pronounced (Mar-ter). There are actually a few misconceptions about what a martyr is; so, let me clarify. </p>
<p>Original: μάρτυς </p>
<p>Transliteration: martus Phonetic: mar'-toos </p>
<p>Definition: </p>
<p>1. a witness, in a legal sense and a historical sense </p>
<p>2. one who is a spectator of anything, e.g. of a contest </p>
<p>3. in an ethical sense; those who after his example have proved the strength and genuineness of their faith in Christ by undergoing a violent death </p>
<p>Therefore, a martyr is primarily a witness to an event. In Acts 1:8 after Christ rises from the dead, he says this to his followers; “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Overtime, a martyr also came to signify someone who dies for their faith. I am a witness to the Gospel of Christ not only changing hearts and lives; but being the only source of hope for humanity.</p>Justin Martyrtag:justinmartyr305.com,2005:Post/55933002019-01-12T17:49:34-06:002020-07-26T17:29:59-05:00Are All Sins the Same?<p><strong><em><span class="font_large">Are All Sins the Same? </span></em></strong></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Written by: Justin Martyr </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Published on 1/12/19 </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It's very popular for Christians to say "All Sin's are the same." Maybe you've heard your Pastor say that, or read it in an article somewhere. Maybe you heard someone on TV say it. This sentiment and opinion is pretty mainstream in many places both among Christians and non believers alike but is it biblical? </span></p>
<p><em><strong><span class="font_large">The Need to See Both The Humanity and the Sin. </span></strong></em></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Often people struggle with sins that are more visible than others. It's easy to look down on people who struggle with sins that we don't struggle with or no longer struggle with. This is an ungodly attitude to have that pushes many away from the faith. We often desire to see the humanity of the person without looking at their sin. This isn't a necessarily bad idea. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">However; it's impossible to completely separate both. That person's sin currently separates them from a holy God (Is. 59:2) and without Christ that human is on their way to hell (John 3:16, 14:6, Rom. 6:23). However we still gotta love on them at the same time and not be jerks! </span></p>
<p><em><strong><span class="font_large">What about Abominations and The Unforgivable Sin? </span></strong></em></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Honestly though, nowhere does scripture teach that "all sin is the same." We came up with that ourselves to make unbelievers feel better. The Bible teaches the opposite. Some sins are called "abominations" (meaning very detestable sins) such as lying (Prov. 12:22) and homosexuality (Lev. 20:13) stealing and coveting etc & many other sins are never called an abomination. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Then Jesus says there's an unforgivable sin "blasphemy of the Holy Spirit." (Matt. 12:31). That sin cannot be forgiven. Therefore, all sin can't be the same when one particular sin cannot even be forgiven! Also, once in scripture Jesus said one person's sin was greater than another's (John 19:11). </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">All sin is wrong, all sin is terrible, all sin leads to death but it's not all the same. Even logically, molesting a child or murdering someone isn't the same as stealing candy from your grandma's purse right? However, all those actions are sin right? Yes it is all sin. Clearly, they are not the same and all carry different consequences. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Let's teach those in our sphere of influence that all sin is wicked and a loving Savior died and rose again to redeem us from sin. Some sins are worse and more visible than others but the cure for all sins are the same! Let's love on people without looking down on them but still love on them with a sense of urgency because one day they will stand before God (Heb. 9:27). </span></p>
