Mary Mary’s Super Friend Track Featuring David Banner
Oh yeah… this is well.. a rant… here we go…
I was listening to the Wade-O radio show and was listening to a past interview on the song by the gospel group Mary Mary…
It’s a funny topic, truth be told as there is 2 sides.. There is the argument going forth that Mary Mary should have used one of the gospel rappers rather than a secular rapper, which is a valid opinion to have…. but then.. to go out and judge them saying they have mingled with the Word by using a non Christian rapper is something completely opposite..
I have searched online and see enough comments condemning the group for featuring David Banner on the record..I have heard the scripture references, what business does light have with dark and we should’t be un-equally yoked with non believers..
But my challenge is.. IS IT OUR PLACE TO JUDGE THEM?????
Hearing ppl saying it’s doing more good cause new christians can’t descern that he aint a christian, and shouldn’t what to live like him..
What about the opportunity that Mary Mary had to minister to him? What effect does writing these lyrics and going on a mic and producing it has on David himself… can Christ not use him? Is he so far gone that not even God himself can save him? In that case what about us?
Romans 3:23 states we ALL fall short of the glory of God, saying we all need salvation… Don’t get me wrong.. i am not saying what they did was right or wrong.. it’s actually not as clear cut… u can’t shun someone cause they are not a believer.. we are suppose to lead them to the light which is Christ.. Do you think Mary Mary went out purposely and sort out a non believer to do a track with? Gospel rapper Shai Linne said something about not having enough vocabulary in the english language to describe our God.. Do you think its an accident it happen? and if so.. could it be any more an accident than a child born out of wedlock?
We definitely need to stop judging, there is a message in the song, get the message and stop judging the messenger… I am not saying that David Banner is the best example to take Godly advice from, but who is? With Pastors divorcing, scandals in church, who is the best example to come from?
What to see what really sad.. here it is.. for all those who say that it was a bad example for non believers, it’s an even worse example for someone who say they are a Christian and pelt everything except love and prayer at David Banner, and Mary Mary….all non christian seeing that will say look at how they treat their own, why would i wanna be part of that..
I hear ppl say, how they don’t see the power of God manifesting in these times like how they did back in the days the bible speak of….my answer to that.. OBVIOUSLY it isn’t going to be the same..
We’re a bunch of unforgiving and quick to judge folk, how can His power be manifested in us when we ourselves are the cause of the lack or power..
We claim we have power, but how powerless we really are..
To any artist who go out and seek to spread the word of Christ i commend you, its like walking a tight rope.
I will never forget, my Pastor {Elector Pearson – Thankful Family Church} has a Harley, nice bike, and he has his affinity group where he uses his bike as a ministry to minster to other bikers.. I have heard some many bashings coming from the same Christians who should be out in the community showing love but they stuck inside 4 walls eating off the altar but aint going out into the community to share a single word, but would stand and judge those who do….
My lil bros dad made me remember about the “unclean” woman who touch Jesus, and someone said, if you know who she was Jesus wouldn’t want her to touch him…What did He do????
Lord, forgive us, help up to seek your face, forgive our unforgiveness and our willing to judge… Father, have mercy and grace over us, pour out your love on the ppl who have dedicated their lives to share of your glory through music or any other platform.. give guidance and direction In Jesus name.. Amen..
