SOMETHING EXTREMELY RARE HAPPENED AT THE GRAMMYS LAST NIGHT WITH CHRISTIAN ARTISTS — AND YOU DIDN’T EVEN SEE IT ON TV!

The 55th Annual Grammy Awards aired on Sunday, providing viewers with a lens into performances and acceptance speeches from the world’s most popular musical acts. While mainstream artists were in attendance and given prime attention during the show, Christian, gospel, jazz and other “alternative” performers weren’t, as they are not typically included in the main program.

Instead, a separate pre-telecast was held and the awards given to these acts’ were announced during it (this pre-event was broadcast live on the Grammy web site). But, in case you missed the faith-based acts who walked away with accolades...

PART OF THE SCHEME, TO MARGINALIZE CHRISTIANITY.

Love Christian Artists and the message of the Gospel, but it's harder to do that in this now secular culture. We have been marginalized and no longer the influence of the age. That ended when we no longer were the salt of the Earth and light of the world! We're still numb from it all, even impotent. I know God is able but waiting for His Church to wake up from an endless dream of entertainment and materialism. 

FIRST-PERSON: Why poor tipping compromises the Gospel

FIRST-PERSON: Why poor tipping compromises the Gospel

After making that statement, one of my restaurant coworkers -- a divorced, agnostic man working two jobs to pay child support -- tossed a receipt with a circle around the subpar tip he had received from a Christian individual sitting at his table. In fact, the tip was less than subpar -- barely 10 percent on a $90 bill. I thought about ignoring him, but I have been attempting to share the Gospel with this coworker for a while. "Not all Christian people treat others that way," I said softly.

I have been serving tables at a restaurant for several years in order to support my wife and children and to pay my way through graduate school. Repeatedly, I have observed Christian people -- or people who identify themselves as Christians by wearing Christian T-shirts/apparel or their Christian conference name tag, etc. -- come into the restaurant at which I work, pray for their food after acting rudely toward their server, leave a 10 percent tip (give or take a few percent) and a Gospel tract, and then leave.

TONY DIGIROLAMO- I HAD THIS DISCUSSION RECENTLY AND IT SEEMS TO BE TRUE.

CHRISTIANS DON'T TIP WELL. AND THAT IS A PROBLEM.

The problem is that it is not a great message of the Gospel.

20% or more is in order. As the writer put it, "This is not a donation"!
