If I didn't know this by now, this album alone has reminded me that when Kirk comes out with a new album, I better just hurry up and get that.Regardless of how people feel about Kirk Franklin personally (because there will always be criticism, I am not innocent of that), we must remember that G-d can use anyone and also you gotta appreciate what he is doing in terms of advancing the Lord's kingdom and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Christians are so politically correct these days and its heartbreaking when we are afraid to say "Jesus" anymore. Franklin for another amazing debut. Where was I and WHAT was I doing when this cd came out. May the Lord bless you and may His face SHINE upon you. But what I have to say I like the MOST, is the name of Jesus being raised and lifted up on this album.
Mr. Thanks Mr. I am definitely more preachy than the album feels or sounds like, but to those who are searching for Gospel music that MEANS something these days, you ought to pick this one up. Franklin tackles issues like fatherless youth, gaining momentum again when you've been struck down, urges us to remember that we are supposed to be the Jesus that people see everyday, and gives reassurance that G-d is still in control no matter what is going on. Franklin encourages us to be bold, be confident, and even to have fun again in serving Christ our savior.
I JUST started listening to this about two months ago, and I am even more excited about this album than ever before. Mr. And thats only a few songs. Though the music is younger, hipper and maybe even more for dancing and head-bopping, when you listen to the WORDS, you gotta admit there is something genuinely special here.What I admire the most about this album is the honesty and integrity of it. Wow.
I respect the risks that Kirk Franklin takes and the faith that he puts in the people to receive this 'different' music and really get the message behind the beats. I like Kirk Franklin and his particular ministry, regardless of what anyone says. This CD does not compare to Hero, but it is a job well done. After a few listens to this CD, I was ready to face the fight with the powerful ministry in these songs. I respect what he attempts to do with the ministry God has given him.and this CD is an example of him giving it his all to push the envelope in ministry. This CD stretched me.it took me a bit longer to listen to (throughout) than usual but once I did, I must say that I did enjoy it.
:) Great CD. Full of songs to lift you into the spirit and give thanks to God.
It is blessing me during my worship time and my praise time. I love Chains, I Wanna Believe, they speak to my heart and my reality. I love this CD. There's something on here for everyone, every time I try to leave Kirk alone, he comes back with something better that I just gotta have. Enjoy. I have it set to play when my alarm comes on in the morning. I can't say anything bad about this CD.
It contains real life situations that almost anyone can relate to. I highly suggest this cd for people who are really wanting a change in their life and willing to be doers.
