Don't you know that the doors to CT would be beaten down and Baptist Press would have to close theirs if they endorsed a song that uses the "s" word twice and the "h" word twice again?<br /><br />I mean, I'm a pastor and I just played the song on my computer. Now I'm going to have to find money in the budget for a new PC because I have thoroughly defiled this one. I can feel the keyboard getting sticky already.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01568650603425594448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061650.post-1108591919217387562005-02-16T17:11:00.000-05:002005-02-16T17:11:00.000-05:00Michael,

Is that the same CD? Is the "parental advisory" part of the CD that offensive? (and yes, I believe art can be good and have "objectionable" material in it). I guess it's kind of hard for me to purchase a CD with a sticker like that. Hope I'm not being too narrow here.

I think there may be a difference in writing "CHristian" songs and writing from one's soul. I appreciated your comments about how you have worshipped God through Kanye. I sat outside my church on Sunday moring listening to the next track on the disc with tears in my eyes. Oh, I first heard "Come to Jesus" on KFOG San Francisco's rock station. I purchased later that evening.<br /><br />Peace,<br />RickNew Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07328837865727756374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061650.post-1108585584461862842005-02-16T15:26:00.000-05:002005-02-16T15:26:00.000-05:00Great post.

Others can rip at me as they will, but Kanye's style is the least admirable style in Christian music, and therefore largely ignored in the mainstream.<br /><br />I could be somewhat off base, as I am not an expert in music, but that is just my uninformed 2 cents.<br /><br />I enjoyed Kanye's performance, but honestly didn't care much for his acceptance speech.jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07223648349703832539noreply@blogger.com
