Kendrick Lamar Thinks Modern Preaching Is Too Watered Down, And Here's Why
May 02, 2017 by Will Maule - HELLO CHRISTIAN
Rapper Kendrick Lamar is concerned by the lack of punch in modern preaching, and believes it is time to get back to the word of God for sound instruction.
In an email to DJBooth, Lamar talks about feeling empty after hearing a watered down sermon as a child. "I went to a local church some time ago, and it appalled me that the same program was in practice. A program that I seen as a kid the few times I was in service. Praise, dance. Worship. (Which is beautiful.)
Pastor spewing the idea of someone’s season is approaching. The idea of hope," he wrote in the email.
"As a child, I always felt this Sermon had an emptiness about it. Kinda one sided, in what I felt in my heart. Fast forward. After being heavily in my studies these past few years, I’ve finally figured out why I left those services feeling spiritually unsatisfied as a child.
I discovered more truth. But simple truth. Our God is a loving God. Yes. He’s a merciful God. Yes. But he’s even more so a God of DISCIPLINE. OBEDIENCE. A JEALOUS God," Lamar explained.
"And for every conscious choice of sin, will be corrected through his discipline. Whether physical or mental. Direct or indirect. Through your sufferings, or someone that’s close to [sic] ken. It will be corrected."
Now, Kendrick has a convicting challenge for us all.
"“The wages of sin is Death.” It shall be corrected. As a community, we was taught to pray for our mishaps, and he’ll forgive you. Yes, this is true. But he will also reprimand us as well. As a child, I can’t recall hearing this in service. Maybe leaders of the church knew it will run off churchgoers?"
