The nominees for the Grammy Awards arrived on Friday, offering
recognition to leading Christian artists in a variety of categories this
year. The
Gospel Album category is not the only Grammy Award to recognize
Christian artists this year.
Lecrae also scooped a nomination this year for Contemporary Christian
Performance/Song for “The Messenger.”
Furthermore, Christians have
been making history at the Grammy Awards recently. In 2012, Lecrae won
the Grammy for Best Gospel Album with his album “Gravity,” becoming the

The Grammy Awards will air live on Feb. 8 from Los Angeles’ Staples Center.
