As well as a group of FReepers who believe that they are the holiest of holies! Obviously these people don't believe in the power of Redemption nor the gifts of Grace and Mercy from God. They believe that Kanye isn't doing things the "right way". Shame on them for not trusting in God and what HE is doing in Kanye's life.
I would not say that we’ve been experiencing a great awakening for any time now.
There’s just no evidence of it.
When those revivals in the past happened, culture changed, too, and since we are still circling the bowl at an ever increasing rate, I would not say that they ahve happened yet.
One can only hope and pray that Kanye’s conversion is genuine and people are genuinely converted.
If we quit praying now, we’re toast and any move of God dies on the vine.
“Ill believe those conversions after a few years, if not months.”
I had a very good evangelical Christian friend that defended Jimmy Swaggart when Jimmy got into trouble. “He may be guilty but he brought me to Christ so I am forever thankful to him”
I was saved during the Jesus Freak movement in 1971. My parents were sure it was just a phase. I am now a missionary in Papua, Indonesia. That phase has taken me around the world.
I rejoice in West’s salvation. I rejoice that people are getting saved through his testimony. I don’t have an elector-detector machine. That information is left to God. I just celebrate that people are coming to the Lord.
FWIW, the girl who lead me to Christ, is now a practicing Budhist. My salvation was real. God can use even a rock to praise Him. How much more can He use a rock star.
The Gospel is GRACE centric. God's Riches At Christ's Expense. "For by grace you have been saved, and that not of yourselves, lest anyone should boast." I was saved by grace, I live by grace, and I will be taken home by grace. All that I have, especially if it is of any value, is by His gift and not what I have earned. Yes, this includes my lymphoma.
I'll fix it for ya' at no charge:
the only reason He doesn't smite them into a pile of ashes is because they accidentally did something right that week His grace withheld the wrath of His judgement while He patiently and lovingly gives us another chance.
I understand your feelings 100%.
Our good Lord uses the oddest and LEAST likely tools in bringing people into faith. I know this from experience.
Thx. It is easy to forget that the only thing in this life is to get to the eternal live. God bless.
Cool!
I read somewhere today that Kanye’s getting himself mixed up with that fraud charlatan Joel Osteen. I hope for his sake that’s not true.
Right on, Jemian!
Perhaps he was thinking of this:
Of course it says "not many", so that must mean there still may be some? God bless Kanye if this conversion of his is genuine and that though his zeal, souls are brought to Christ. There is a LOT of pressure on "famous" people who make public professions of Christian faith to compromise them through the things of this world. Our adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour so we should remain sober and vigilant. We are commanded:
Kanye may well have to let go of the fame and wealth that ties him to the world system and which can cause him to compromise his faith. We should pray for him. His life may become very difficult.
AMEN!
May there be spiritual revival in the USA and world.
As Franklin Graham says.....PRAY FOR HIM!
Is God using him?
Pray for him.
IF this is a true Great Awakening.....Kanye and his wife have huge followings.
Kim needs to lose her exploitive act.......God can make that happen too!
Pray for him!
Amen and amen.
