In a trailer for Kanye West's Jesus Is King that dropped Saturday, the rapper states, "We're here to spread the gospel. I'm not here for your entertainment."

Following a passage from the Bible (Mark 1:15), West states in a voice over, "I'm an evangelist, so my music, my films, every conversation, every room I go in, we're here to save souls, save you from eternal damnation."

BTW, the quote marks are in the original headline. Not sure they’re scare quotes because they are Kanye’s words. But single quotes are standard for headlines, so maybe it’s a diss by the headline writer, I don’t know. But not by me, I respect what Kanye’s saying

He certainly doesn’t care what his fellow “artists” think and that’s called integrity.

Boy I hated him at one time :)

In what crazy mixed-up universe would I ever like him more than her???!!!

Well, everyone can be saved. We have to believe that.

(But I still think he's bipolar.)

“But I still think he’s bipolar.”

...Don’t kid yourself, we’re all “bi-polar” to some degree.

That’s great.

There seemed to be a few years of turmoil in his life some time back where he was getting in and out of trouble.

Perhaps that was a soul searching time.

Many have been there.

You look at the road you’re on and decide it’s just not taking you to the right destination.

Thank God there are more roads to take :)

That’s not a secret. Both he and Kim acknowledge his mental health struggles.

Jesus is King indeed!

Don't count on their description; just watch his behavior.

I like him and I hope he does well. I hope he stays close to the gospel.

Sure beats some rappers rapping about killing cops and sex.

Well regardless- as a conservative Christian, I have been enjoying watching segments of Kanye’s Sunday services online.

Thanks! Good for Kanye!

I wonder how the Kardashian materialism is affecting him now?

Reminds me of Bob Dylan’s short-lived Christian conversion. Let’s see how long this holds up.

A few weeks ago, his missus was on TV with Kelly & Ryan. I was impressed with her apparent joyful cooperation and participation with and in Kanye’s soul winning efforts. Call me gullible, but I think Kanye is sincere, and his wife as well.
