According to Recent Tweets From LECRAE, it Appears That he Has Come Through Victoriously Out of the Dark Night of His “DECONSTRUCTION” Soul. However, Some Are Concerned Did he Repent of Some Things and Clear up Some Things That he Said and Did While Going Through the Period of What he Calls “Deconstruction” in His Life?
Singer Lacrae Comes Through Deconstruction Period
Lecrae on Deconstruction:
A lot of Christians are afraid of “Deconstruction.” I’ve personally gone thru it and let me give you food for thought. 1. There are 2 types of deconstruction happening in the church. One is healthy the other is dangerous.
One type of deconstruction actually involves using scriptures to deconstruct unhealthy ideas and practices. Christ himself did this by deconstructing the Pharisees interpretation of scripture. “You have heard it said but I say…” using Scripture to challenge things. Healthy.
Many millennials are using culture to challenge scripture. This often leads to culture taking precedence over scripture & sadly people begin to deconstruct themselves out of the faith. We begin to question the Bible because it doesn’t line up w/ culture. Unhealthy.
Nine times out of 10 this type of unhealthy deconstruction begins with Church hurt. Racism, sexism, abuse of power etc. give way to a need to make sense of things and the last thing people want to do is use scripture to make sense of these failures by “church folks”
So people look OUTSIDE of God for answers and find themselves being thrown around by every wind and wave of doctrine. I’ve been here. When God & morality are out of the picture you now have license to make decisions that can wreck your marriage, family, mental health, & body.
Many don’t realize there have been healthy Deconstructions throughout history that have lead to health. There are generations of believers who have been thru this and we can learn from them versus destroying our life and faith trying to figure it out alone.
Lastly deconstruction is only part 2 of a healthy faith. The goal is not to tear everything down and live there. First is construction, then deconstruction, then reconstruction. Reconstruction leads to a stronger faith where you’ve thrown out unhealthy views & see Christ clear.
Many movements from the reformation to the civil rights movement involved deconstruction using scripture and then reconstruction. I offer this as an encouragement to those struggling. My faith is stronger than ever I’ve been there and healing is possible.
Here Are Some Things That an Author at Protestia is Concerned About:
In a series of posts on Twitter, musical artist and producer Lacrae comes through deconstruction period and has challenged the notion that Christian “deconstruction” is always bad, arguing that there are two types; one “healthy” and the “dangerous.” One type of deconstruction is healthy and involves “using scriptures to deconstruct unhealthy ideas and practices” and the other is unhealthy because it “questions the Bible on account of it not lining up with culture.”
It is clear by every measurable standard that the deconstruction Lecrae is so grateful to have undergone is not healthy, but rather is the picture of unhealth that is leading to death. Let’s look at his life over the last two years:
1. He regularly watches pornographic TV shows that are filled with graphic sex and nudity. Is this heathy or unhealthy?
2. He has stopped going to church. Is this healthy or unhealthy?
3. He rebuked a street preacher for preaching the gospel at a rap concert. Is this healthy or unhealthy?
5. He sputtered, “You know…well…um…er….ah….I don’t know,” when asked about the sin of homosexuality in an interview. Is this healthy or unhealthy?
He says he “doesn’t endorse” abortion but HATES classism, took more time out of his day to dismiss the need for a local church body, and said after Joe Biden won the election and was inaugurated, that it “feels good to be on the right side of history” with the party that is “pro-life from womb to tomb”. Are these unhealthy or unhealthy deconstructions?
