Gospel Artistes Sing Against Violence
"Gangsta life is not the way to go. How many more people blood go flow..."
Dwayne Bedeau aka "Silent Sah" starts off his musical plea with these words, asking gangsters to turn away from gang violence.
The young artiste has taken to dealing with social issues in his debut album. Listening to this song one may notice this apparent goal of social commentary specifically targeted toward crime as this song follows another smooth track that says "we need more love innah the land", and is followed up by another which says "nuff ah youths dying", asking them to "give your life to Jah".
The song (gangsta life), featuring crooner Keron Ramsey has a cool reggae flow, which welcomes Ramsey's smooth voice which brings the message home.
Another recent release from Mention (featuring Positive) in his latest album "Life... The Journey" says "Stop de killing, stop the war stop the violence. Stop the killing stop the war stop the violence... Just show love..."
Mention in his verse asked "... are you not sorry for all this misery?"
Also on Mention's album is Mr. Bad Man, with a dance invoking song with an infectious reggae beat that has an unmistakeable message.
"Bad man from the Gaza, me want you done with the murder, see the Gully man, King me want you done with the shooting.
(Mention) Say Mr. Bad Man, could you put your guns down. Too much blood around town. Bodies on the ground, what's going on?"
What is the alternative? Silent Sah says "Clean up your heart and come (to Jesus)."
"Put down the gun and me say put down the dagger,
Youth man me say go seek the Almighty Father."

Esther James John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
When Jesus was on earth, a woman caught in the act of adultery was brought before Him by the scribes and Pharisees, the religious mafia of His day. They tried to trap Him by posing a question that was difficult to answer: "Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?" (John 8:5)
Jesus answered, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." (John 8:7) The scribes and Pharisees began to leave one by one till none of them were left.
The people in the crowd who wanted to condemn the woman could not. But Jesus, the only one in the crowd who truly had the power to condemn her, would not. He then asked her, "Woman... Has no one condemned you?" (John 8:10)
He spoke such words of grace to her because He loved her. Also, by asking her the question, He was giving her a chance to speak words of no condemnation to herself - "No one [condemns me], Lord." (John 8:11)
Jesus not only spoke words of grace to her, He also gave her the gift of no condemnation - "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more". It was when she received the gift of no condemnation that she had the power to "go and sin no more".
Today, you have the gift of no condemnation because the Son of God was condemned for all your sins. (Romans 8:1) Today, God cannot condemn you when you sin because He is faithful and just to what His Son has done.
So if the devil tries to convince you that God is angry with you when you blow it, just say, "God does not condemn me today because He has already condemned Jesus at the cross 2,000 years ago!"
Unfortunately, we still hear people saying, "Go and sin no more first, then I won't condemn you." Maybe you have been saying this to yourself too. But God says, "I don't condemn you. Go and sin no more." He gives you the gift of no con-demnation, so that you have the strength to go and sin no more!
Thought For The Day
You have the gift of no condemnation because the Son of God was condemned for all your sins.
