Lol the under a rock was brilliant lol I love this message as well. This is a great way to expose that little beam in some of our eyes. I have never followed Kanye personally but I also didn’t hate him. I think his Sunday experience is what made me curious what he was doing. Either way, on a much larger scale He’s having a revelation and rededication to his faith and I celebrate anybody on their journey and the fact they want to share Christ with the world to their network. Do I trust if he hopped in a pulpit to start teaching, no lol but the same could be said about any of our pastors if most of their life was documented for everyone to have a constant reminder of. I’m glad he’s sharing God with more people in the way he knows how best, through his gift of music. God will handle the rest.

I was never a big fan of Kanye or his style of music (Hey, I’m an old woman of 62!). But I’m really fed up with the criticism that he is receiving. Someone likened it to Paul. What if the early church had put him down continuously? Sadly, Christians are too good at going after their own. Let’s give the guy a chance. He’s sharing Jesus with people and many of them have never heard of Him. God’s Word says that it will not return to Him void. God will use it no matter who shares it. The church ought to be happy over this, His Word is being proclaimed. God uses who He will. Great video.

Put the rock back, it's cold with the door open like that. :-) (Great transitions in this video BTW.) I'm only vaguely aware of Kanye; heard his name but that's about it. I wouldn't be able to pick him out of a line-up. That said, I've seen a lot of celebrities profess a conversion experience over the years and, like non-celebrities, it takes time to see how serious and life-changing the experience is for them. I think it's to soon to make any real judgments about the "realness" of it. Best thing to do is pray that he allows the Holy Spirit to do His work in his life.

Kanye would be one of the disciples for this generation? We do not know if Kanye is doing the work of God. Millions young adults listen to Kanye’s music and a lot of them were raised the church but lost their ways. High Priest “Gamaliel” , Acts 5: 38-39 “ 38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men (the apostles), and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: 39 But if it be of God, ye cannot* overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.” If Kanye is doing the work of God and you fight against him, then you are fight against God. God always wins!

I am a fan of, what I used to call, the “old Kanye.” His music got me through crazy days in grad school and later I found his approach to music refreshing. He took a hard right, I grew up a little, and after a lot of blunders I learned to enjoy his old music and pray for him. If you take a moment to really listen to his old stuff the new album wouldn’t be so surprising. Especially when you realize (I believe) his grandfather was a preacher and pastor. As for this album, I think it’s good. I’ve listened to it a couple of times. I need more time to decide if I’d add it to my rotation. But in the end, It’s up to believers to share the gospel and God to move hearts. So, I’m glad he’s sharing and I am confident God will handle the rest. (Sorry about the mega comment.)
