Simply because God created people & sex with a purpose. But I also think it teaches self-control. If you can't wait until you're married to have sex with you're would be spouse, you're not developing to self-control necessary for monogamy. The shame associated with sex before the marriage could...

Maybe I put this in the wrong section. I saw someone else post something similar in this section. I more so posted it to give others advice but I'm open to any advice people have in the area of lust & sexual morality.

Thank you for your detailed response. I think that the Spirit obviously empowers us once we believe & receive Him, but without the Spirit we're powerless. So it's our job as Christians, empowered by the Spirit, to inform others that they need forgiveness, otherwise they'll never receive the...

I think both arguments come down to, as Cliffe states at the end; are we dealing with perception or reality?

The following transcript is from a discussion from the following link: That link will take you to a video posted by a channel called ‘askcliffe’. Cliffe Knechtle is an American pastor who for decades has been going to university campuses to give students the opportunity to ask him about...

Bold = scripture, regular = my thoughts Write down some practical ways we might help young people choose God’s way in the area of sex. (Question taken from a bible study I'm doing) Be around people that will keep you accountable. This is why church is important. To be constantly around...

I absolutely agree with you. There are some other genres I don't listen to but I can appreciate that they reach a demographic that I probably don't engage with as much.

‘Jesus Is Lord’: “Every knee shall bow Every tongue confess Jesus is Lord” A simple & bold ending; an altar call. Instrumental on another album: ‘Late Registration’

‘Use This Gospel’: This song features The Clipse & Kenny G. This song was originally called Chakras (Law Of Attraction), just one example of the new age themes Kanye was exploring on ‘Yandhi’ before his deliverance. The Clipse are one of the most acclaimed rap duos of all time. They used to...

‘Hands On’: This song features Fred Hammond, a prominent gospel artist. ”Made a left when I should’ve made a right Told God last time on life Told the devil that I’m going on a strike Told the devil when I see him, on sight I’ve been working for you my whole life“ Kanye spent most of his life...

‘God Is’: ”You won’t ever be the same when you call on Jesus’ name Listen to the words I’m sayin’, Jesus saved me, now I’m sane“ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17 People have always called Kanye...

‘Water’: Water reminds me of a psalm, it’s like a prayer. Kanye crying out to God but not in a desperate way, just in recognition of his sovereignty. This song was first premiered at Kanye’s Coachella performance. It features Ant Clemons, I’m excited to hear his first solo project. Some...

‘Everything We Need’: “We began after the storm inside” The storm (struggles) was the catalyst for seeking something beyond the material & superficial. “We have everything we need” Speaking on the lack of contentment in western culture (pun not intended). Through the sacrifice of Jesus, we...

‘On God’: Sonically & lyrically I like the song, but no lyrics in particular stand out to me. Instrumental on another album: ‘The Life Of Pablo’

‘Closed On Sunday’: “Closed on Sunday, you’re my Chick-fil-A” Kanye received significant backlash from this lyric. Chick-fil-A is a Christian owned restaurant chain, which donates money to Christian organisations. Some of the organisations they have donated to, have been outspoken against the...

‘Follow God’: Statistically the most popular song from ‘Jesus Is King’, ‘Follow God’ debuted at #7 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It currently (Tuesday 12th of November 2019 8:36pm) has 57,302,080 streams on Spotify, more than twice the amount of any other song from ‘Jesus Is King’. A lyric video...

‘Selah’: “God is King, we the soldiers” We are commanded in 1 Timothy 6:12 to: “Fight the good fight of the faith.” Later in the passage (1 Timothy 6:15) it states: “…He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,” The world does not make it easy for the...

‘Every Hour’: Every hour is the only song on the album which doesn’t feature vocals from Kanye. I love the song, but I feel it could be easily misunderstood. “Sing ‘til the power of the Lord comes down” This lyric could be perceived as a transaction. Similar to Chance The Rapper’s lyric in his...

I can't post the full deconstruction in one post because it has too many characters but I'll reply to the thread song by song. ‘Jesus Is King’ Deconstructed Italics = quotes, bold = scripture, regular = my thoughts For each song I will say instrumentally where the song could have ended up on...
