Is Kanye West really following God and serving Jesus? Is Kanye’s new album, JESUS IS KING, a publicity stunt? Kanye West is totally dominating headlines at the moment since he openly proclaimed that he is now a follower of Jesus Christ. It brought so much attention from secular media. On social media, he is a hot topic for both believers, modern pharisees, atheists, unbelievers, and many others.

A news report of Russia Today reported that: “A primary school in Birmingham, England, has halted LGBT lessons after 600 pupils were reportedly taken out of classes by furious Muslim parents upset at homosexuality being “aggressively” taught to their children. Parkfield Community School has been forced to suspend its ‘No Outsiders’ classes until after Easter, while a consultation takes place with parents.” This is a big win for parents who must in the first place be informed of what their children are learning at a secular school. LGBTQI are now very aggressive in pushing their agenda in our communities. Targeting the schools to influence the next generation of their stands regarding religious beliefs, social equality, morality, and many others, seemed to be welcomed by some public schools and even threatening Christian Schools to embrace their agenda. If you are a Christian parent, make sure you fight for the rights of your children. We should not be a privy to a new generation of confused kids regarding their sexuality, beliefs, and purpose. Heed the Word of God in Proverbs 22:6: “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.”

BIBLE REFERENCES
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
Luke 10:25-37 New King James Version (NKJV)
25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?”
27 So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
28 And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and you will live.”
29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 So he went to him
and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his
own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’ 36 So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?”
This is a very interesting interview of a young man about his faith. Josh says he had “tried” Christianity right after 9/11, but then he “fell away” from the faith. What is true or false conversion?
What Is Repentance?
Repentance is turning away from sin and self and looking to God for forgiveness and salvation. It’s basically “to turn from evil, and to turn to the good,” or change one’s mind. The Bible tells us that true repentance will result in a change of action. You will instinctively hate sin and is necessary for salvation.
True repentance leads a person to say, “I have sinned” and prove it with a 180-degree change of their direction.
Repentance requires true brokenness.
Repentance is NOT asking the Lord for forgiveness with the intent to sin again.
Repentance is an honest, regretful acknowledgement of sin with commitment to change.
Repentance leads us to cultivate godliness while eradicating habits that lead into sin.
