Post subject:  Resident Skeptic: My concern about Kanye
Are people coming to Christ on the merits of Christ, or are they coming to Christ because a well-known entertainer is making Jesus seem cool? I was pondering yesterday about the shallowness of our entertainment-oriented society. Is the Kanye-Jesus phenomenon more evidence of this? Understand, I do not doubt Kanye's sincerity. But I also think if he had converted to Islam, many of these same people would convert to Islam on the merits of Kanye. And what of Kim? Will Kanye's commitment waver if she makes him choose between her and Jesus? It is too soon to know the depth of Kanye's commitment. Does he truly understand the demands of the gospel? Is Jesus truly Lord in his life? It takes time to determine these things and we should not be looking to a spiritual novice as some great spiritual giant

It is a sad testement of the times when the Church latches on to the coat tail of a baby Christian as though he were the example for all to follow. Of course we all hope he is sincere and that he truly has submitted his heart and life to Christ. That being said, a babe in Christ has a long way to go before the world looks to him as an example. It would be better for him if he would simply get involved in a local church and be taught the word of God “Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.”

+1 to everything in this thread. I hope the very best for Kanye and trust in Christ's power to do what no one else can. With man, the conversion of someone like Kanye is impossible, but with God all things are possible.That said, for that to happen Kanye needs to get out of the spotlight, into a Bible-believing church, and grow in grace and in the faith. He needs to stay connected to solid pastors and stay away far away from people like Joel Osteen. I'm grateful for threads like this that remind me to get back to praying for him.

Post subject:  caseyleejones: Jesus instructions to the man with a legion of demons....
Luke 8:39(NKJV) 39 Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you. And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him. I would say this man was well known far and wide and there was no list of instructions given to him. I understand some of where you are coming from, but, Jesus did this multiple times....they were set free then Jesus told them to go and proclaim it.

I have seen relatively LITTLE negativity about Kanye on my social media outlets...thank God! I expected a lot of trash, but haven't really seen it. I've seen a lot of hope and prayer though. My question is this: are we intimidated that Kanye will do more for the Kingdom than us? It is very easy to talk about the reasons Kanye shouldn't be doing what he is doing, but a little tougher to talk about why we SHOULD be doing what he is doing.
