Kanye, Kanye, Kanye…..

I’m gonna jump on this bandwagon. I know a lot of people are going to have their own opinions on what happened with the Taylor Swift and the Kanye West incident- and since it’s my blog…I’m going to give you mine.

Ready, here it is……………………….”So what”.

Let it sink in……………..

Speak/yell/scoff at your screen………….

Give your opinion…………………………….now keep reading.

I’m not surprised he did it- and neither should anyone else be. Here’s why- He’s not saved!! He’s not a born-again disciple of Jesus -“well yeah Noah, but come on- that was still wrong what he did”- you’re missing the point entirely. First off- it’s an award show dedicated to (for the most part) promoting- immorality, carnality, sex, drinking (hum hum…Kanye was drinking from a bottle of Hennessey!!) , foul language, and idolizing people that have no real reason to be idolized………………..from a Christian perspective.

The bible’s pretty clear that we operate from 2 places- the spirit or the flesh. If you aren’t saved…….the flesh it is. Remember Jesus saying “you’re of you father the devil” – All I’m trying to say is as the church- the world operates like the world does- was it messed up what he did? YES – Do I feel bad for Taylor Swift? I guess- Is Beyonce now the greatest person in the world? NO (but I give her props for what she did)- but that’s where they’re at. It shouldn’t surprise us- it should challenge us even more to get the word out there about Jesus, Love, Forgiveness, and Grace.

This is what I think- we don’t want to practice strict holiness in our lives.

What I mean is- “Well, you can’t say Kanye isn’t saved- he has a song called ‘Jesus Walks’- so he knows about Jesus- he might be……” “Well this movie start thanked God and their parents were Pentecostals- so they know the truth” “Yeah but her song says “God” in it and they all started their band in a church”……..we try to validate why we like, listen to , and watch what we watch……because hey….”they might be saved.” I’m preaching to myself and convicting myself right now just as much as it is you….  .

At the end of the day…..the world is the world and we are the church. Let’s help turn the tide in a culture that is operating from the only nature and place they know to operate from- let’s not justify it and be part of the gossip- Kanye did what he did because that’s what he knows to do- sorry Taylor- praying that God rocks Hollywood and LA and the whole industry- I mean, Kanye wrote a song called “Jesus Walks”- he’s gotta know a little something right……….
