    Kirk Franklin protesting TBN & DOVE awards citing racism

    This is getting a lot of buzz in the gospel and music scene.

    Apparently, Kirk brought it up about police shootings and injustice at the GMA awards. They chose to edit his comments out which upset him and outraged a lot of people.

    Kirk Franklin will not Attend Dove awards or Anything Associated with TBN due to speech being cut - YouTube

    If he isn't careful he will end up like Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson, bitter old men who are political activists calling themselves men of God.

    Nothing wrong with calling out the atrocities of rogue police officers. But jumping on the Sharpton-Jackson bandwagon leads to bitterness and ineffectiveness as a Christian leader.

    There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

    I pray that Kirk has wisdom and discernment to stay in his own lane with this. He can (as you said) get carried off in activism and distract him from his gift of encouragement through music.
