Rapper's Exchange With Christian Apologist Ravi Zacharias Causes Worldwide Discussion

Da Truth and Ravi Zacharias

Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist Da' Truth took to Twitter with a cryptic message revealing some lyrics to his new song "Religion," which features Christian apologist Dr. Ravi Zacharias, triggering a worldwide discussion.

Da' Truth shared about the idea of truth, God and religion. He tweeted some of the lyrics to his new song from the upcoming album, It's Complicated, and thousands, even listeners from NGEN radio and Jam The Hype, shared concerns and questions on whether or not the artist was second-guessing his faith.

It was later revealed with the release of his new video for "Religion" that Da' Truth wasn't confused about his Christian beliefs but instead was only sharing lyrics from his single that features counter-arguments of his skepticism by internationally respected Christian apologist and author Dr. Ravi Zacharias.

Ravi is a fine speaker with a profound intellect. I highly recommend him to anyone.

If you look at the photo above, Ravi is the guy on the right.

Heard him speak once in person and many times on radio. Great guy.

Thanks for posting this! Nice to have a break from the recent bedlam on FR.

yeah, if there is anything that I am beginning to learn from the past few years is that all of this political mumbo jumbo is, well, mumbo jumbo.

Our lives are in God’s hands. We do our best with the information we have and not trust in the things of this world.

While at worship today, I thought about how FEW presidential elections I have left to see in my life, even if I live to a ripe old age.

Don’t get me wrong; I think these days are very important. But they’re not more important than me exhibiting love for my neighbor and, by God’s grace, worshiping my Saviour.

Keith Green, a now-deceased 70s/80s Christian singer, wrote: “Just do your best, pray that it’s blessed
And He’ll take care of the rest.”

I’m beginning to learn that in increments. :)

Haven't actually heard Ravi but my brother-in-law has, so for Christmas he sent me Ravi's book, Why Jesus? Rediscovering His Truth in an Age of Mass Marketed Spirituality, which I finished a month ago. If anyone wants a thorough composting of Oprah's and Chopra's "Weastern" spirituality, with the execrable Bart Ehrman sprinkled atop, this is the book for you. Ravi can pulverize them in his sleep.

One who might well benefit is actress Lucy Liu, with her keen sense of spiritual discrimination, for she is quoted elsewhere thus: "I'm into all things spiritual—anything to do with meditation or chants or any of that stuff. I studied Chinese philosophy in school. There's something in the metaphysical that I find very fascinating." (emphasis added--can't help myself)

Ravi rocks! I listen to him on the radio all the time.
You can hear him online, too.

He’s brilliant at presenting the intellectual argument for faith in things unseen.

Ha, ha, reminded me of when we would have lunch with friends from the Phillipines (one of our kids being a redhead), and we would ask for separate checks. If the server asked how we wanted it split, we would say, “Guess”. ;-)
