A few years ago, though, I heard somewhere that DMX decided that his calling in life is to a pastor. Sure, consider his lyrics to simply be art, the poetic rhymes of a prophet, and maybe you can see it.
But then look at his arrest record, his addiction to drugs, and that he has at least 15 children by any number of women. At that point the protests get a little bit louder...should we be putting people in positions of caretakers and guides in life when they are either going to get the women in the church pregnant, the kids in the church hooked on crack cocaine, or the men's Bible study tossed in jail overnight? Probably not a good idea.
Of course, we elect leaders all the time that have no business being leaders. We select as role models those whom we would she never see as Godly examples. We make into heroes people who have never done anything truly heroic in their lives.
So why not have DMX be our pastor?
I guess my reaction would have to be in the immortal words of DMX,
