    This video has gone viral since its release five days ago on YouTube. This man is a Christian and attends my friend, Mark Driscoll’s church, in Seattle, WA (MarsHill).

    Jefferson is a poet… not a hip hop artist or rapper… but a poet. The poem is excellent. He is comparing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ with the false religion of works righteousness (Phil. 3:1-12). Keep in mind that this is a simple comparison and not meant to be exhaustive. But there are some very helpful things that can aid you in presenting the gospel to others.

    Listen, learn, and live beloved…
    Grace and peace,

    Hey Steve,
    Thanks for sharing this video. Brings up a lot of good things. After watching the video I did read Kevin DeYoung’s blog about the video, as well as his email interactions with Jefferson Bethke. Thought I would share:
