Curtis "Voice" Allen was invited to John Piper's church, Bethlehem Baptist Church (BBC), to share his testimony and to perform last October. All seemed to go well until word spread that John Piper had a rapper rap at his church during worship and people flipped out. Because of his performance, many people even called his conversion into question.
It would be understandable if Mr. Allen was upset, or even if he let loose a little well founded criticism of the current state of evangelicalism in America, but instead he wrote this article. It is a response written from a humility I fear that I may never find. It almost brings me to tears. God grant me and other Christians to respond to adversity and criticism in such a way as this.
Again, read his response here: An Emcee's Gentle Word

I love this Curtis guy! That was so awesome to read - I think I can count myself convicted right now, and yet in a very thankful and hopeful way - it's weird.
