Trip Lee's Passion

One of my passions is helping people understand the Word. I think the most important thing we should be thinking about is who created us and how we were created to live. So I thought that I want to spend a lot of my time actually studying God's Word.

What we do
with our lives every day,
whether at school,

I would like the secular
world to know that the
Scriptures are about

The Scriptures are not ignorant.

The Good Life

by Trip Lee | Christian Living

What is the good life? And what does it mean to live by faith in a good God? This book answers both these questions. Trip also produced a rap and hip-hop album under the same title, creatively answering the same questions.

Verse

Galatians 2:20 NIV

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Quote

Trip Lee's Prayer for You

Dear God,
We come in his name
The slain and risen Who's runnin' this thing
Christ the Lord, the one who can bring
Healin' the hurts of the ones that He claims
We think we got nothin' to gain
By clingin' to Christ the love of the King
But he was under the same
Tempted and hurt he's accustomed to pain
Though they feel it feel it
Pain but their joy can kill it kill it
Feelin' like life been pillaged
Can I please intercede for a minute
This is
Not out of your grasp
Your grace can shake, your power can smash
I pray this hour and ask
Allow them to see your power surpass

That sin devour their past
Drowning with mercy, shower them fast
Give 'em the faith to follow the Father
He's Abba, your Honor, please swallow the trash

Dear Lord, you were never gone
You promised you'd make 'em forever strong
Your arm isn't short, it is very long
Make 'em like Christ, you get 'em home.

Quoted from the song, Open Letter (Battlefield) by KB.

Verse

Ephesians 5:14-17 NIV

“Wake up, sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
