Kanye West Advocates "Radical Obedience" to Jesus

Some of you may know who Kanye West is but most of you probably don't.  He is a rapper/musician who probably got even more famous when he married a Kardashian girl and got on some reality TV Show.  Recently he has taken a huge amount of heat because he is a Trump supporter and actually visited Trump at the White House earlier this year.  So for that reason Hollywood and lots of Democrats and black people can't stand him anymore.

But maybe this article will help explain why he is a Trump supporter when everyone around him is a Trump hater.

Rapper Kanye West exhorted the congregation of a Georgia megachurch on Sunday to live in “radical obedience” to God.

West — who started a weekly Christian ministry called Kanye Sunday Services in the Los Angeles area — was visiting the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta, when he gave a 10-minute mini-sermon to the hundreds on hand, Fox News reported.

“Jesus, let’s be specific,” West said. “Because the road to hell is paved with, ‘I’m just a good person.'”

The performer broke into song, “use me, Lord.”

“You sent your only son to die for us and all you ask is for radical obedience to you,” West said. “You’re not asking us to do the least. You know how people are like, ‘At least I…,’ how are we gonna do the least when he did the most?”

The 42-year-old then appeared to give God credit for helping him overcome mental illness.

“When I found out about you and got closer to you, I got closer to my children,” West continued. “I got closer to my family, ’cause the devil had me chasing a gold statue, had me chasing cars, had me chasing numbers … the power of God cannot be calculated by a number, by a first week sale, by a bank account, by how many cars you drive, by how big your house is, how many acres you got.”

Appearing on ABC’s “The View” on Friday, the singer’s wife, Kim Kardashian West, was asked about the services he has been leading.

“Kanye started this, I think, just to heal himself. It was a really personal thing, and it was just friends and family, and he has had an amazing evolution of being born again and being saved by Christ,” she recounted.

Kardashian West added: “People always ask, ‘Well, what are you worshipping?’ and ‘What is this?’ It is a Christian service, like a musical ministry. They talk about Jesus and God.”

Wow!  Praise the Lord!  Maybe we should all add Kanye to our prayer list because I can't imagine the heat he is going to take for preaching Jesus.
