Hell yeah brotha

When u get older it hits harder

Same man even in 2021

Jesus had the impact...Lecrae was just the messenger

💯💯💯

me too man

Hope you are still doing well and strong in the faith brother the world has changed but God stays the same.

+Lamar Davis that's the only thing they can do. Knowing nothing about this thing called "life". Suddenly every blogger now has mainstream religious opinion, everyone becomes proffesional about "discernement" about God and the devil, on the topic of hell and heaven and whatsoever. That's the problem, we have a lot of lads, where everyone must hear their opinion to say. In a bad sense, we raised up so many freaks in christian folks... That's called simply "watering someone down", which is the spirit of antichrist. It's better to majority of the Christians to return back on the Gospel, not their own empires and concepts of god in their own image and likeness.

+Ilmar Meldre For real!

+Lamar Davis Infiltrators. It's Biblical.

u are so rite lecrae has change millen of life

thank for Gospel Hip Hop i as Christian a rap fan appreciate real music.

+quinkadink Thanks so much for this... Guys can we please get this to the top of the comments section? I feel like people especially Christians watching this video have to know the meaning behind Lecrae's songs. A lot of the Christian community hate on Lecrae because they only look at the explicit meanings of his songs and don't look into the implications of his songs. The comment above ^^^ is a perfect description of Lecrae's intentions with the songs. (Also for those who think Lecrae is loosing faith for making "non-christian" songs, he has every right to express his feelings through music)

+quinkadink What if I do attend a (just one, not all of them of course) church and don't feel welcomed at all, would you say it would be difficult especially if they are in sin to feel like the church wont accept them because of that?

***** Ultimately it's a too way street. Theres a difference between a sinner who's constantly clinging to the cross asking for forgiveness putting God first and attempting to ameliorate their life but failing from time to time.(thats okay of course) Rather than the sinner who isn't turning to christ despite learning the word daily in church and being deceitful about their desire for God. Outwardly propagating the image of someone who craves Christ whilst secretly living a life diametrically different from the plan God laid out. Of course deceitful people going to disgruntle fellow church members who want to see you closer to Jesus. That being said ; God said to judge the plank in your eye, not the spec in your brothers. (paraphrasing) Only God has the right to judge. Anyone who isn't standing for the word of God is working against God. With the following in mind, provided you genuinely want a relationship and feel judged and NOT loved and informed( there is a difference of course) than I would suggest looking for a church that represents what Jesus said his followers would look like. Followers of Christ : Come from every ethnicity(Revelation 7:9) Don't judge (Matthew 7:3) We are most known for our love (John 13:35) Look for churches with ethnic diversification, lack of judgement and general sense that they love everyone around them. The churches I find that tend to be the most judgemental are those churches where everyone is the exact same race (black or white or asian doesn't matter but just extremely concentrated amounts of one race ) That being said depending on where you live it might not be a multicultural environment, In that case look for churches where people dress as they please, (don't wear suits) and there is age diversification. Churches that have members who spend more time on their outfits than actually reading their bible are the worst churches to attend. My church has children, teens, adults. Black, white, Chinese, indian, Korean etc. Almost every race you can think of. Additionally we wear what we please. Our main concern is spreading love, worshiping Jesus, growing in faith, helping the homeless and overall helping one another. Look for churches like that or tell the church members how you feel. God bless.

thank you seems I misunderstood it. was just bout to comment about that cause I know Christians that wont go to church for this reason. such a shame

Thanks for this. I was a bit confused.

The line is actually: "If God gon' take me as I am, I guess I already got on my church clothes."

gon* take

Terrible lyrics compared to gospel reggae. Well basic

People are people, what I mean is lust of the flesh, eyes and the pride of life (three ways sin tempts man) have been here since Adam bit the apple. I am not sure if the church is worst now then when the Pharisees carried out the plan and killed Jesus. Inside of us all is the equal potential for good and evil, as a society are we worst now or are we in a place where the things done in the dark are more visible? I'm not sure; asking in the most humble way? I look forward to your answer...

Fetchem1222 you are right , we all sin ( except Jesus ). But I think Dani Timo is refering to the fact that the church is not as true as it was . In my country (Romania) if you ask someone on the street ''Are you christian ?'' , he will say yes , even tough he doesn't have a personal relationship with God or read his word or do something personal in his life about his belief . They all just go to the church and they don't belive in the right way . The church has become a tradition , people go and give money to the church and the preist buys cars and they bulid massive church with lost of gold instead of helping the poor . I don't think this kind of church is representing Him . In the church I go , there are not many people because people are scared of our kind of belif , we all have personal relationships with Him and we share what He is doing in our lives , we pray toghether and we discut our opinions about the message that our spiritual father gives to us , and we want to see how we can put the message in our lives and I think that represents the church in the real way , a place where you have a father( spiritual father ) and spiritual brothers and sisters . PS : Sorry for my grammar mistakes . :D

I agree

Dani Timo He's actually rapping in 3rd person; as someone who sees Christianity from the outside, pretty much a none-believer. He also mentions the most common reasons why people detest Christianity.

Monsielago he clearly raps from a third person indeed, but i think that lyrical hero is more of a stumbled young believer rather than a non-believer. Or a potential believer. "You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to." That's what this song is about, hypocricy and carnality.

And in 2020

@stuffygram charm woooooo!!! way to go, mate!

Oh yeah

3025 now guys

@@JesusSaviour4ALL lol. cool username btw

This is actually from the tgird person perspective of the common peoole, not Lecrae's. Saying these churches are bringing out the misconceptions that God Wants only Religious People and Lecrae wants that to change.

Kevin Morales That's exactly what I mean! :)

Jkila25 unless I misunderstood u I think I disagree I think he was serious in the first part about how it's messed up how the church is only accepting of people that dress nice or r apart of their own culture. Of course all that matters is that we r broth brothers and sisters in Christ

yea you're right, i dont think these people get it, lol, they're slow, lol

Thanks for clearing that up... it took me forever to realize it and I think a lot of people still don't get it.

I think he is speaking in irony. He is speaking from the perspective of a person who picks things wrong in the church in order to give excuses not to go to church or be a Christian. It is true that many churches have many problems and certainly no church is perfect, but he seems to be highlighting in this song the attitudes of the people who avoid church because they really just don't want to face their own sin and brokenness.

Yeeea

Fr fr!

Kendrick is my other Favorite rapper next to Lacrea

+Desroyer Same!

there not

Real Talk, God Bless you brother. I don't go to church no more due to that reason I can worship from home, where its only God and I. No one judging me on how I look or how much money I can give to the church.

Dan H Hebrews 10:25-"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching." God wants us to communicate with fellow Christians because it helps us grow in Christ. We can still worship alone, but going to church is an essential part of being a Christian. However, the church should not make a huge deal about how someone dresses, because if we work with them, and help them grow in Christ then they will most likely decide to dress differently. I can assure you that Lecrae himself even goes to church...

Dan H your worst enemy is yourself , you need to find a true church with true leaders that are standing on the word of God and living as God says to live.

I have found a church

Just because someone doesn't wear a suit and tie to church every Sunday doesn't mean they aren't a true leader in Christ. A lot of times I wear a soccer jersey and jeans to church. There should be some limits on what we show up to church wearing, but for the most part God doesn't mind. He is just happy we are desiring to grow in Him. As long as we don't dress provocatively, then we're okay. Just look at the band Skillet, they're Christian and they dress with a Gothic fashion.

Exactly.

Yes amen

But even the other perspective is true,church be full of actors,that's why I ain't at Church

@@SS-ye2ck Nope man that isn’t an excuse no church is perfect Jesus walked with 12 un perfect disciples & one that was evil. Paul talks about the importance of church in the Bible.

@@blazanick have you seen the false prophet churches, I am talking about those ones. Those ones,I am not going to attend. That is what I mean after you see what goes on there, you think why to bother going.

Thank you, someone who is actually thinking about the song not just hating without knowing about the real meaning.

Dude.... I've been reading all of these comments that all start out with "i think people are missing the point" followed by the wrong explanation of the song... This is spot on Trey Cano

Trey Cano well said brother!!!! Finally someone explained it just the way it was supposed to be explained.

Right. I've been a taking a trip down memory lane with Lecrae lately. Lol.

How'd you find this song?

One of my favorite workout songs

+Taj The Great One maybe in some parts of the song, but most of it was a spot on critique of the modern day church.

so many rather argue then to look at the lyrics and why the song was written

so many rather argue then to look at the lyrics and why the song was written

Joshua Norris the song was written as a critique of the church. When he is talking about hypocrisy, he is serious. When he is talking about how its ludicrous that people are expected to dress a certain way in church, he means it. In the second part of the song he talks about things that people use as excuses to stay away from god, but in the first part of the song he explains what is wrong with the church

He isn't wrong. Js

That being said I don't think it's specifically about not wanting to wear church clothes at church.

WRONG! He is a Christian and loves Jesus! Many people get the wrong idea he is singing about a sinners point of view

Bucco Nation He is rapping from a sinners point of view. Listen to Dear Mr. Christian by Derek Minor. Its also from a sinners point of view.

His point is that there are alot of people who pretend to be christians(church clothes) and then in the second part of the song, he is talking about christians that do stuff that changes lives(saints).

anyone can go to church but to actually feel Gods message and live humble and not judge others and truly love them even if they hurt you is when you can live free from sin and corruption for many people have an impact on the way this world is viewed and God want people to have an open mind and understand all aspects that's why you have a clean slate from Jesus's spilt blood

Yes

Legit and real fire.

Haha I like how you said nba, like basketball is from the devil or something lol. Cause I honestly don't remember God saying games, toys and nba were sins.

Daymo Maletino its not a sin its just foolish, 1 Corinthians 13:11. If you are a man you would be putting in work for the kingdom

How is any of this childish though? So your saying the only way to become a man is to drop absolutely everything that doesn't necessarily have Gods name in it..? I mean c'mon who in their right mind would even consider such a stuck-up, negative religion like that?? This is exactly what hes talking about in this song, "Christians" who think they know better than everyone else buy twisting Gods word to fit their own.. Can you honestly tell me that i'm wrong..?

He's talking as if he wasn't Christian. And I don't even think he's of God. That's why I put this comment here. All those those things are worldly. If you love anything on the world the love of the father is not in you. People are worshiping a creation more than the creator.

Sarcasm dude this song is a sarcastic response to the modern church of today from the perspective of a 'supposed' non-believer yeah but while highlighting real problems in the church & how if this is what Christianity is why hes better without it. Problems like how man decided God had a dress code, how man condemns everything that doesn't bluntly have God in it. Put it this way, if you have clothes that you love to wear and wear from Monday to Saturday but don't when it comes to Sunday Church who are you coming as before God? Are you coming as who you are or trying to fit the criteria of who man says you need to be? Correct me if i'm wrong but Christianity is about building relationship with God right? So if God is my Father, my friend, my Savior, do you think he would care what i'm wearing or whether I enjoy a sport or if the music I prefer is Christian hymn or Christian rap? Who are we to judge right?

Im not saying he's a sell out but his music isn't going to give you more spiritual food than reading the bible and letting God speak to you personally.

Alejandro Juarez So the "im not saying he's a sell out" part was a lil uncalled for...im not saying you are being foolish, but thats sounds like when ppl say "so offense" and say something offensive. Oh and no music but the "songs" in the bible give you more spiritual food than reading the bible.

actually the whole bible is food for the mind soul and body jesus saves

Anthony Walker his message was well put for it isn't wrong to ask why and if his views can reach the message of why we live to one person then it is well worth it

+MSkateBoss Puglia I'm not sure thats true. I think he was speaking of himself on that one

+DMACKD mcdavid no he wasn't. He even makes the point that there are good christians through some sarcasm "shows me that I'm not livin up to all the things that he put me here for"

Michael Puglia this song is about a non believer who is making excuses or justifying his own actions for not turning to Christ. Something everybody has felt at one point

But church is full of actors,pastors

So true

Discern

No. This is how a sensible person thinks. God is good but religion and church are garbage

hey your the one that wants to know the we are brave snog right

aurelio beatty yea!

El Tiro want to see it

+Celina Halma Well stated. Lecrae is a beast.

***** thanks! ***** i really think that ppl judge lecrae wrongly and dont really listen to his lyrics

Celina Halma Hahaha I really think you're right. I never thought Lecrae's lyrics were too hard to decipher. Songs like "Devil in Disguise" always just made immediate sense to me as far as the perspectives he's rapping from and the message he's sharing by that perspective. But I guess it doesn't come that easily to others, or they just don't listen. It's a shame.

Yah *****​ I agree

and also people who GO TO CHURCH but want to be a Christian but they have all these excuses

who knows

That is cool. God sees past clothes. God sees everything.

Real talk where I grew up these "young men" had more $ than the people inside the church lol

God says wear your best, jeans and T-shirt it is then

@@yehyehyehyehyeh6847 ?

BARofLUNCH I know what you mean

it's sarcasm

John Ryan wym?

he singing what people think the churches

My church clothes is exactly as he describes it...501's and J's. No need to judge how people dress when they go to worship and refuel in the Holy Spirit.

"Behold! I am coming quickly!" (written 2000 years ago)

Jesus Fan Im not christian, actually I'm atheist. When is jesus coming back? Hes mentioned in (Matthew 16:27,28) “For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every man according to his deeds. Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.“ And growing up christian I would try to defend this by saying we are the disciples he is talking about. But know that I look back and think of it thats dumb because thats just a failed prophecy.
