You need to see his follow up video that explains why he made this. He is offended by the insistence that sin defiles and he finds such assertions ungrace-like. He thinks it's ok to be a mess because Jesus represents you and that our picture of Jesus is just to clean or to moral. I pray he finds the truth.
'He thinks it's ok to be a mess because Jesus represents you'
It's good to remember that even we are filthy rags on our best day and he reminds us of that.
One thing I noticed that was missing as it is in most of the asleep Church is the fear of God and I was given that gift by God after many years of being a Christian reading the 'old' Testament ,psalms,prophets,etc.
He's young, and I am sure what Jesus raises up he can keep up. I'm amazed at how many times I have fallen and how Jesus kept me, so I'm not throwing him away.
You are right, Marcel. He is a young Christian, and we are indeed saved by grace. I am concerned at the influence this young man has achieved (4 million hits on the video??) and the error of attitude it can create. (Hip hop has its roots in defiance, and in your face, man?) But he is, indeed, better than most of the established church. May the Lord Jesus live through him and guide him.
The youtube,facebook community like the rest of America have a 3 minute attention span if that.
Reminds me of the parable of the Sower and the Seed. The majority will forget and move on to the next viral video.
Thank God for the few good seeds that fell on good ground.
4 million hits, God was never interested or impressed with big numbers like we are,as Noah would tell you.
The flesh profits nothing.
Then he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel saying, ‘ Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts. Zech. 4:6
It's really sad how the apostate,Americanized church runs to the US business and entertainment model for everything ,all flesh.
I had a little dream last night of how the Church was filthy and flesh focused ,unclean,unprepared,blind Laodecia style boasting in the flesh and I realized that there is nothing desirable in us(our stinking flesh,me included) as God examines our proud filthy rags.
His love is amazing to even pick thru the filthy rags. We are in serious trouble.
Today a meek,weak man who didn't put on a show like our devious,lying 'christian' politicians and preachers would not have a chance. We really don't realize how bad the corruption already is in the house of God.

Yes, by His Spirit.
