So, Kirk Franklin took A PICTURE with Kanye West (and apparently, it found its way online) and some Christians are upset. Really?
Kanye doesn't sing Christian songs and he could very well be a blasphemer. If Jesus mingled publicly with publicans and sinners, who are you following when you want to commit suicide because a believer took a picture with someone you've judged to be a blasphemer? Are you a Pharisee or a Sadducee?
If Kirk was being criticized for featuring in a Kanye West video where the name of the Lord was being blasphemed, the outrage would have made sense to me.
We need to leave the "Upper Room" gathering mentality and go into the world to preach this gospel. God is counting on us. We are to OCCUPY till He comes. Of course, we should not forsake the gathering of believers. However, if you spend all your time, online and offline ONLY with believers, you are NOT doing the will of the Father. If you spend all your time, online and offline, ONLY in the company of unbelievers, you're NOT doing the will of the Father either...
The words that I received to share this morning are:
1. Preach the gospel, in and out of season.
2. OCCUPY till He comes...
Enjoy your day.
