That’s between him and God.
The Kardashian empire would have to undergo radical changes to be in line with Christianity. Right now the two are about as unequally yoked as two can be.
If Kanye West can spark or lead a religious revival in the country, that may be his greatest contribution to America. We need that even more than a political revolution.
That’s between him, Christ and God the Father.
who are we to judge??
However, as church members, we MUST make some judgment too. Who do we support for ministry? Who is going to be the Pastor, Elder or Deacon, etc.

Good comments.
Believers ARE told to judge “those who are in the Church”.
To those who might doubt/disagree with what SeekAndFind wrote: You can find this admonition in one of Paul’s letters to the Corinthians. (I am going to leave it to you to find the exact passage/s for yourself).
Jesus gave instructions to judge properly (not with hypocrisy) as well.

Answer: Are you a believer who has been saved by the finished work of Jesus Christ? That will determine whether you (or anyone else) is entitled to judge.
Also, see post 26.
He’ll need our prayers either way, obviously, but especially so if it’s real.
The demon(s) who was living there will want to come back home sooner or later and the Book says he’ll be bringing friends.
I’ve seen/had that experience, too, and too often.
Whatever comes next for him, at least he’s on the right path now.
I’ve seen how God works in others and in my own self enough times now to recognize those footsteps. Fwiw, I agree with this quote from here:
“let those whose hearts have hardened be reminded that My Heart sanctifies; let them know that I call even nameless people, people without virtues, without any merits; I transform the stone-hearted and raise them from nothing at all; I come unexpectedly among the dead and can raise them all up; look at yourself, Vassula; your merits were none, yet out of great pity, I raised you; now you know what True Life In God means; I Am the Life;”Whether we believe it now or not, all of our paths will lead us to Him ... eventually.
Better to seek Him now. And why not?
He’s The totally cool, “come to Me as you are” right now, instead of waiting until we are “perfect” first, Solution to the problems we all face.
I agree completely, but he's not trying out for pastor. I'm sure he is basking in the glow of salvation and the Holy Spirit is strong in him right now. I can remember when I found out God loved me enough to die for me. I was trying to save the world for a couple of years, until I found out how little I knew about Scripture. I also found out many churches make teachers out of men that show up for a couple of Sunday's in a row. Deacons were often the Bankers son or the guy that owns the local Chevy Dealership. It took many years to figure out what was really going on.
West has money so I would imagine he will hold "church" for many that we wouldn't allow to darken the door of our church. Isn't that the problem we are having today? In my last church, we had dope heads, drunkards, and adulterers, that came to my Bible class. I even had a death row murderer that somehow got parole. It was sometimes scary and always full of disappointment. I treated them like friends and tried to show them that Jesus was the only way out of where they were at. You might invest a year or two in them only to find they went back to the world. But there were also some that kept going that did become deacons and teachers after a few years. We are supposed to be equipping our members to go out on their own.
I was a drunk fornicator along with several other adjectives and somehow I was trusted with the Word of God after 7-8 years. We all come from somewhere.
Christians are to admonish those who stray, but Scripture is clear regarding the matter of judging”
Matthew 7:2 “Do not judge, or you will be judged. 2For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?…
We should do more than hope we should lift him in our prayers. If sincere and it appears he is, he has a long and difficult road ahead
He has had severe mental problems such as bipolar I truly pray he finds his way!!!
“Joker, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, and Terminator: Dark Fate” top 3 titles at the Box Office.
But “Jesus is King” is trumping them all. #1 via Apple Music in 73 countries!
Just think in terms of the titles alone. The significance.
