As I watched it, I was frankly pretty appalled. I hear arguments like this all the time and almost always from people who have no idea what they're talking about. I was ready to write up a rather scathing review, deconstructing the rapper's entire argument, but then a colleague of mine in Kansas City - Scott Chrostek - posted the following link on facebook. The link is to another blog written by Alan Combs (yet another UMC pastor) who pretty well summed up everything I wanted to say. So, here you go.

Thanks for posting this. It's sad how people these days don't really think through their words, they just say what sounds good. It's like they want reform, but they have no idea of the roots-the history (of the church). I think they would find that what we are facing today is no different than what Luther, Wesley or Calvin faced so long ago. What those men faced is what Jesus faced when He was on this earth.
