I am enjoying watching this also. I am praying and rooting for him because if God can use him it will be amazing. To the naysayers I would just ask you to please pray for him I don’t think that cost you anything but a few minutes a day.

We should be grateful.

Magnanimity - accept him at face value; watch and verify. We must pray for this man. He’s a brand new Christian but he’s front and center, being watched, speaking the Truth in love. Still a baby Christian. Imagine the good work he can do in Hollywood, in the black community - what a terrific witness for the Lord. Cynicism has no place where the Lord is at work - trust and verify.

I don’t have an opinion on Kanye. I do think, and wholeheartedly believe, that his spouse and her family will take full advantage of setting up tax benefits. Lots of rumors of them trying to make this similar to Hillsong.

I pray his conversion lasts. Mine has for over 50 years. Much joy serving Christ in that time.

Jury’s still out.
Let Kayne grab your Soul, this is a good way to bring people together that is based on peace and faith. But let no one grab your Wallet
w/o your expressed awareness and approval.

...
I think it is important to pray for his wife and family also. They are probably torn and you can imagine the disharmony and disunity today could create if the two of them are not Unified.

Actually, it’s none of our business.

It is God’s business to discern whether a person is sincere!

That is where the “Do Not Judge” comes into play.

It is the heart condition of which only God can Judge!

Can we just leave Kanye alone and pray that God will bless him and his family with wisdom and joy?

I saw a piece on FB or somewhere that Kim and her kids were recently baptized at the Armenian Apostolic Church. Haven’t had a chance to look up that particular faith.

I don’t think we need to make anything of it. If it’s real he is saved. If not, he is a Kardashian.

Well I think he can safely sing what he want and be a Christian without caring about the brutal backlash, in part, because he’s worth a QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS!

I would think this less real if he was broke. Then i might think it’s a gimmick.

He, like Trump, don’t have to play ANYONE’s game anymore because they have the wealth to say “go to hell”.

He can do a lot of good in the black community because he WAS a nasty singer/rapper so many black guys know about him.

And now they see he’s changed.

It would be like me at 20 seeing Axl Rose become a Christian and write an all Christian songs album.

I would be very interested in hearing it. And it may have helped me be closer to God earlier.

I’m 51 and I don’t need someone else to help me believe.

But a LOT of kids do these days.

I wish him the best. But I think God has touched him and i hope he deals with his bi polar issues and brings great praise to God’s name

Sounds like the Pharisees angry that a sinner might be converted.

I hear ya’. My parents said that I was going through a “phase.” Well, this phase began on March 26, 1971 around 8 pm and has lasted me thus far. The phase has taken me around the world with my believing husband and my three believing children. FWIW, two of my children are now married to believing spouses (of the correct sex) and are each raising 3 believing children.

Praise God for this phase!

Regardless if intentions are good or bad, Christ is preached (paraphrased). Philippians 1:18

Insights welcome.

What shall we make of Kanye’s conversion?

The same we make of *ANY* profession of faith in Christ!

We encourage, nurture, and pray for the new Christian!

Skepticism. Jesus requires the bearing of FRUIT.
