I believe that Christianity in America is turning into a scrimmage.

We're no longer competing with trying to change the words ideals of who God is and what it needs to be.

Every week we're showing up just to play ourselves.

Juliet says it best, self-deception is the worst form of deception.

I had a couple of young

artists come to my studio a couple of young successful artists and they saw the you

know bags and trophies and n-n-nying and yeah and they say oh gee what what's the secret? I said, I am too insecure to allow you to forgive me.

That's what drives me. I can't afford to be forgotten again.

I sense and I see, little Kirk.

I'm not going to do that with you.

I ain't doing that.

I gotta have my eyes open for that. I ain't doing that.

All I hear, little Kirk saying,

is I want to be in a row with my family and they see me for who I really.

What people do not understand about Kirk Franklin is that it is incredibly difficult to be asked to go first and to

ridicule every move that's made when there's nobody to guide you you just feeling around and before you think oh nicky if it was me that's why you that's why guy didn't give it to you

please don't push me but y'all push be now we got dwellers from Cali to flat bush be now they got

heat on their feet that say press beat and now we so deep in the street streets, y'all can't stress me, can't curse me, then bless me.

I'm crucifying my flesh, that's less me.

S.A.T.

From preaching, can't test me.

Atheists are now believing, that bless me.
