🇧🇷🇫🇷Paris Olympics banned Brazilian surfer from using surf board featuring an image of JESUS.
Surfer João Chianca was banned from using the surfboard featuring the image of Rio De Janieros famed Christ the Redeemer statue.
In a now deleted Instagram story, the surfer revealed he was told 2 weeks prior to competing that the “painting is not authorized at the Olympic Games because Christ is a religious figure, and the Games have strict rules focusing on total neutrality.”

Jesus 2020. Confederate Flag. Noose. For many unbelievers, when they hear “Christian”, these images come to mind. This form of syncretism is one of the biggest apologetic challenges facing the church today. We must be clear about what Christianity isn’t as we share what it is.

10. And to those still devoted to proclaiming Christ through hip-hop- Don’t stop! The Lord may be pleased to use your sharing the gospel in your music to save (or strengthen) the next Kanye or Cole or Cardi. Keep Lifting Him up! #JesusIsKing – at Philadelphia, PA

9. Overall, I’m really encouraged by #JesusIsKing . It’s not perfect, but that’s ok. Justification comes before sanctification. Let us not despise the loud, passionate cries of a newborn. May God grow Kanye in His faith and protect him from the many snares unique to his calling. – at Philadelphia, PA

8. #JesusIsKing exposes the notion of hiding Jesus to reach the culture for the foolish philosophy that it is. It also exposes hearts like mine- tempted to grow complacent & lack the zeal we once had as new converts, before we had all our theological i’s dotted and t’s crossed. – at Philadelphia, PA

7. Kanye said in a recent interview that he used to go hard for culture, now he’s going hard for God. Amen. This is exactly why many of us started doing CHH. To “proclaim the excellencies of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.” (1 Pet. 2:9) #JesusIsKing – at Philadelphia, PA

6. Tbh, I was listening to #JesusIsKing in my car going to pick up my son and I wept. Ugly tears, y’all. Of thankfulness to the Lord. That He’s still in the business of saving. That He takes blasphemous lips and turns them into instruments for His praise. – at Philadelphia, PA

5. There’s a beauty in the simplicity of the messaging on #JesusIsKing, perhaps epitomized on (maybe my fave) “Water”- “Jesus, please help/ Jesus, please heal/ Jesus, please forgive/ Jesus, please reveal” Refreshing to hear such childlike faith and dependence on the Lord. – at Philadelphia, PA

4. It seems clear to me that it’s not a “strategy” on Kanye’s part. He’s not focused on appeasing a particular crowd or “market”. He’s sharing His love for the Lord and letting the chips fall where they may. No one made him do this content. “Out of the overflow...” #JesusIsKing – at Philadelphia, PA

2. Like many, I’ve watched Kanye closely and been praying for him. Based on what I’ve seen, it appears that Kanye is a new believer. Praise God! #JesusisKing has the aroma of someone who’s had an encounter with the Lord and wants everyone to know it. – at Philadelphia, PA

**Thread Incoming** Listened to #JesusIsKing by @kanyewest a few times. 10 quick thoughts: 1. I LOVE that the album is called “Jesus is King”. No better title for an album. God decided to flex His Son’s glory at the top of the charts and trending- for all to see. – at Philadelphia, PA

Christians doubting Kanye West's decision to become a Christian, remember that they said the same about Matthew. They said the same about Paul. They probably said the same about you. Let God judge and you can join in the rejoicing over the return of another sheep #KanyeWest

Christians need to make and interpret the arts in a way that echoes both the darkness of crucifixion and also the joy of resurrection. thegspl.co/2Uebwc5
