Kanye West

[Raphael]

I just watched a very good YouTube thingy by Justin Peters on why we should be cautious about Kanye's conversion. For some reason I am not able to copy the link to paste here, but will try to do so later when I'm on my laptop.

Or, if one of my FB friends sees the link on my page they could post it here for me.

I have bigger problems with Justin Peters than I have with Kanye's conversion

I didn't expect that you would care for anything that Peters says, frankly.

The big "elephant in the room" with Kanye is his history of bipolar disorder and his proclaiming that he has recently gone off his meds. But I have recognized that I struggle with having a critical spirit, and a friend of mine challenged me in this specific case with that.

Plus, I wasn't necessarily saying his personal conversion wasn't real, just the fact he has a lot of influence on a very broad and wide audience in a very dark industry (an industry that is not only typically anti-Christ, but even downright bent towards evil and demonology). And because he's a new believer, and because he's in a very dark industry that might have a lot of influence on him

He's putting himself right smack in a big spiritual warfare clash. Imagine, to release an album titled 'Jesus is King' in that dark industry. It's a little concerning, given his pre-existing issues and spiritual immaturity.

The loonies are the ones buying into Kanye's merchandising of his (hopefully genuine) conversion.

And possibly the elephant in the room with Paul was that he used to kill Christians...


At some point we need to ask ourselves if we actually believe that the gospel is the power to save people and set them free from sin or not....


As with anything, I say look at the fruit (there will always be critics, especially among the religious) -- right now, we are witnessing thousands of people coming to Christ, and many young adults who never wanted anything to do with Christianity now seeking it out -- all as a direct result of Kanye's unabashed conversion and speaking about Jesus.


And to top it off, the Billboard top albums is named "JESUS IS KING".. Tell me anyone here would have predicted that, say 2 months ago?


God is good, and He is in the business of doing the impossible.

I don't believe Kanye is merchandising is conversion, as much as he has converted his merchandising. Kanye was in the fashion and music business long before he was a Christian.

From Justin Peters today. Looks like Kanye is on track to visit Osteen.

Hello friends. I wanted to briefly address the news this morning that Kanye West is scheduled to appear at Lakewood Church this next Sunday, November 17th, pastored by Joel Osteen.

Last week I posted a video (https://youtu.be/thqKifnCmAE

I'm sorry but I have to rant...

I NEVER abbreviate anything "double S". The Nazi reference is just too ugly. I hear in Europe, double S is an offense to people.

Well, at least he clarified what he meant by it.

And I guess there is nothing we can say that doesn't offend somebody anymore.

Here is an addendum just posted, by Justin Peters.
