Just listen and watch. It’s not hard at all to discern really bad discipline, discipleship, and doctrine. Well maybe it is if you’re a devil and/or like the messages they preach. Love of the Father is lacking. John 1:15-17.
I honestly think Nicki Minaj is a troll. 😂😂😂 I mean how gullible can you be? To play off of the common narrative of blood sacrifices and rituals, etc. How about you preach Jesus? Or go sit down somewhere and listen? The political Jesus & Christian is an absolute joke.
DFW-area pastor here. For onlookers, there's a misleading freakout about this every year. Here's what's true...
1) It's not a church service, it's a special event they do for the city and the city loves it
2) They don't use tithe dollars to do it; they sell tix (at CONSIDERABLY lower rates than anyone else in DFW would charge for a production that scale)
3) If I understand correctly, they use some of the recouped money for benevolence purposes
4) They share a very clear gospel with an enormous number of people
5) All the culturally dignified Christians who mock it are also the ones that talk about how Christians should engage the arts (but by "arts" they only mean the type of arts that high brow progressives value)
The annual freakout about it is one of the silliest things on Christian Social Media
I’m thankful that God’s love for me doesn’t depend on my performance. That my value is found in who I am to Him, not in what I do.
“Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.”
Ephesians 1:4-7
At @lecrae’s #Reconstruction listening in Dallas and he has a song with @KillerMike and @Tip called “Headphones.” Here’s him explaining how it came together
Reading thru Matthew and the trial of Jesus and a few things stood out to me.
1. Pontius Pilate’s wife had a dream warning him, but instead of acting, he dodged responsibility and condemned an innocent man. How often do we ignore God’s warnings and prophetic voices…letting the innocent be harmed, hungry, or imprisoned?
2. Barabbas’ name meant “son of the father.” A violent freedom fighter. Barabbas promised freedom through violence. Jesus offered it through love. The crowd chose Barabbas. Many of us still do.
I saw someone on ig threads say that they want a Kirk Franklin Superbowl Halftime Show… just putting it out here in the X universe. 🙏🏾 #superbowl#superbowlhaftimeshow
