pray that God will sustain and restore!
Visitors to famed gospel rapper Da’ Truth’s website were in for a surprise on November 2, 2009 when they were greeted by a sincere and heartfelt apology posted by the artist himself.
Make no mistake, our beloved brother has expressed his deep remorse and reaches out to his family and fans alike for “[our] forgiveness as [he] works toward reconciliation”. Amidst his requests for respect of his family’s privacy and his proclamation that he has “repented first to God, and then to [his] wife and family” it seems that the extremely successful artist has one main point that he wants everyone to know….
“My greatest hope is that my failures and short comings are seen for what they are – MY failings and not a reflection of the God that I proclaim. Despite my falling short, the resurrection and life changing power of the cross remains the same”
Let us certainly not judge our brother, but rather lift him up in prayer. His recent proclamation really accents a sobering message to the church as a whole. AS WE ENGAGE IN MUSIC MINISTRY WE MUST TAKE HEED TO THE MESSAGE OF 1 Corinthians:10
12Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
The truth is that many of us tend to hold up Gospel Artists , (and ministers in general) to almost “superhuman” levels that we tend to forget they are just as human and susceptible to sin as we are! Those of us that are actively involved in the music ministry may often get lulled into a false sense of security. We have to remember that the more damage that we do to the Devil’s kingdom through our ministry the more he sets his sights on us with efforts to destroy our testimony!
Watch out for SNEAK ATTACKS!
Let us not be taken unaware without our spiritual armor on!! And let us not forget to pray for the artists that are ever before us because we think “they must be set”….the Gospel Music Industry is being hit hard lately and scandals are erupting in churches everywhere. Let’s not condemn them but rather lift them up while providing a spiritual covering!
Da’ Truth has taken a sabbatical from ministry as he focuses on reconciliation. Have you ever had to deal with a scandal inside your music ministry? What actions were taken, (if any)?? How would you deal with such a situation if it happened inside your church?
Make your voice heard….
