Kirk Franklin has reacted to criticisms following his latest
collaboration with Kanye West.The religious community and fans of Kirk
feels Kanye is not spiritually sound to collaborate with him.The track
is on the yet to be released TLOP album..He wrote
Kanye is not me. I am not him. He is my brother I am proud to do life
with. No sprints, but Marathons; like most of us are on. Before one song
was released, I was crucified because my brother asked me to take a
picture. Again "no Kanye, you're not good enough"? No. That is a
dangerous message I believe we send to the world when our posture is
they have to meet certain requirements before they are worthy to kiss
the ring. It says people are not redeemable, forgivable or candidates
for grace.
That my friend is religious. I will not turn my back
on my brother. I will love him, prayerfully grow with him. However long
he'll have me, and however long the race takes. To a lot of my Christian
family, I'm sorry he's not good enough, Christian enough, or running at
your pace...and as I read some of your comments, neither am I. That
won't stop me from running. Pray we win.
Some of his fans are still not happy...
