Kirk Vs Kanye, Judging Vs Discernment

-
When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
Matthew 9:11

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons.
1 Corinthians 10:21
I look at this picture and I'll tell you what I see, I see a man of God sowing a seed, I see judgmental eyes casting him with stones, I see contradiction and I also see a division in Christianity. 

In this blog I'm gonna break this debate where this picture broke the internet on Sunday, and write why I put these two verses and why we as Christians need to take notes from Kirk Franklin and be careful who we hang around with. Let me give my two pence before I break it down, as Christians want to be self righteous and judge Kirk Franklin while others think its okay/wrong for gospel and circular artists to mix on musical projects. I believe Franklin had the right intentions but did it in the wrong way. I say this because when I heard Ultralight Beam from Kanyes new anticipated album TLOP, the song talks about having faith and God saving sinners there were some contradictions, I think it's wrong for you to make a song about faith and have swearing and curse words, also I think its wrong to make a Gospel song and have a self imposing angle and this is what I got from the song. Down the years Christians have been debating whether it's okay for gospel artists to make songs with mainstream artists, I think its okay as long as the content is positive, motivating and educating. "But so and so sins, so and so is not of God" So what?? I know the Bible says we should separate from such people but doesn't same Bible say we shouldn't judge and embrace others, if we are going judge music by the artists who make it then we certainly shouldn't be listening to gospel music, because, sorry but not sorry to burst so many Christians bubbles 95% of your favorite gospel artists are either demon possessed or not spiritually well, I won't name and shame but their testimonies are clear to see, you know who they are but I'll never judge because their music has helped my faith, does that mean we should stop listening to their songs? No Because their content is positive and is not corrupting you. If we're always going to discern by someones Characters then they'll be a lot of things that we normally do we shouldn't do. Kirk is doing what Jesus did, he hanged around with sinners and preached the gospel to them Matthew 9:11 this is what he's trying to do with Yay, he's sowing a seed and trying to bring him to Christ because by judging by Kanye's antics since his mum passed away, his latest tweets and reportedly being 53 million in debt he needs Gods intervention right now. But on the other hand you can't sit on the table of this world and table of God is the mistake that Kirk made, you can't make a gospel song when theres foul content in it, Kanye's probably doing it for own his gain, we cannot mix with the wrong people so we can fit in to look "cool" and this is the mistake him and many gospel artists make they mix with these mainstream cats and do what they do, when there supposed to be drawing line. 1 Corinthians 10:21 But whatever we make off it this goes to show once again how divided as a faith we are we, don't agree with how someone lives their faith we stone them, we don't agree with how someone interprets the word we judge them.Where's the love? Wheres the unity? We should be bold enough to go to unbelievers like Kanye West and preach and show them the path, instead of judging and disowning them like their peasants of society. Just because someone sins differently don't judge them just because someone has a different opinion on the gospels who are you to judge and condemn them?

Church Hurt

Church Hurt   For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 For week’s I didn’t know how to start this blog, as many pushed me to do this blog, because church hurt is a sensitive subject to talk about where many have given up, many are bitter and many like me, not anymore gave up on the church and questioned the Christian community (DISCLAIMER - THIS IS NOT TO EXPOSE ANYONE WHO I FELT ATTACKED BY AS NAMES/ORGANISATIONS WON’T BE MENTIONED THIS IS TO HELP NOT PUT DOWN OR CRITICIZE). So let’s get down to the nitty gritty. I got over my church hurt 5 years ago, and I compare church hurt to one of Killmonger (Yh I’m using a Black Panther analogy, don’t cry, don’t beg about spoilers you’ve had more than a month to watch it!!!! Lool) so back to my point Killmonger is those who’ve gone through church hurt, Killmonger who is Black Panther’s long lost cousin and arch neme...

Spiritual Priorities

-

If you ask me "what's the main principle of being a Christian?" I would tell you it's to put God and the things of God FIRST!!!!!!! But this is the thing that I don't see much of Christians in this era, most of us don't value our spiritual priorities or sadly don't have any. What do I mean by spiritual priorities? It's how we prioritize the things of God and how we serve God in our day to day lives. This is what saddens me, slowly and slowly many Christians put God and their faith as the last thing on their list of priorities. There's always an excuse why we didn't go to church, why we didn't pray, why we don't seek or fast and so on and so on, because we put our lives, the things of this world and our busy schedules before God. Okay it doesn't help that we live in the era of technology and demanding work and commitment schedules in life but surely if we serve a great God surely we can make time for him in a 24 hour day???

The Same Energy You Have For Beyonce, Have For Jesus

The Same Energy You Have For Beyonce, Have For Jesus “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ” Matthew 6:33 Disclaimer: What I’m about to talk will be sensitive as talking about spiritual priorities will offend some as it can be a touchy subject; this blog is to educate, help and inspire other Christians to put God first in everything. As someone who didn’t have any spiritual priorities over 3 years ago I have no right to judge or shade anyone, which is not my purpose or aim of this piece. The title must’ve got heads spinning and this is what I intended to do, because like I do, I always point out what wrong goes on in the Christian community and give a solution. We Stan celebrities, and when I mean Stan, if you don’t know the term from the iconic Eminem song, I mean radically idolize celebrities such as Beyonce where her fan base goes to far as insulting people online who don’t like her music, to even take a...
