TH3RDCLASS is a Houston, Texas based live hip hop band that blends Gospel-centric lyrical theology with jazz, trip hop, electro and rock, while staying true to 3 of the 4 core elements of hip hop culture - rap, turntablism and graffiti art. The culturally diverse band have members from Britain (from Caribbean descent), Dominican Republic and America (from Mexican descent).

I read some time ago of a man who took passage in a stage coach. There were first, second and third-class passengers. But when he looked into the coach, he saw all the passengers sitting together without distinction. He could not understand it till by-and-by they came to a hill, and the coach stopped, and the driver called out, “First-class passengers keep their seats, second-class passengers get out and walk, third class passengers get behind and push.” Now in the Church we have no room for first-class passengers—people who think that salvation means an easy ride all the way to heaven. We have no room for second class passengers—people who are carried most of the time, and who, when they must work out their own salvation, go trudging on never giving a thought to helping their fellows along. All church members ought to be third class passengers—ready to dismount and push all together, and push with a will. That was John Wesley’s definition of a church—“All at it, and always at it.” Every Christian ought to be a worker. He need not be a preacher, he need not be an evangelist, to be useful.
