Bill’s comments reminded me of Eldridge Cleaver, former Black Panther, who had a conversion experience. I pray Kanye is led by God’s Word, taught by the Holy Spirit, and befriended by courageous Christians who love, exhort, and when necessary, rebuke him. Eventually, God intends to bring Kanye safely Home. I look forward to meeting him then.

My “plugged in” Millennial son says that the album is good from a musical standpoint. Despite having several different songs, it’s a really short offering, it has a real Gospel feel, and there’s a positive Chick-Fil-A referrence.

God bless him… Maybe take some pressure off of Pro Life, Chik-fil-a, Hobby lobby and other businesses and groups. Scott correct, must still be careful, but let’s keep an open mind to the possibility…. just sayin’

This reminds me of when Bob Dylan became a Christian, and affected his generation… there was a ‘revival’ going on in the 60’s and 70’s, which led to the whole Christian music genre.
Not quite a lasting effect, but it has to be carried individually, even if it is spear-headed by a popular leader.

Definitely praying for Kanye in his journey. He will need divine intervention as he moves forward. The level of hate and mocking of Christians in society today is like I have never seen. Maybe social media brings out the venom. I can not imagine what it will be like for him
