Kirk FranklinвЂ™s hit song вЂњI SmileвЂќ has blessed countless people, but it also sparked pride in the artist who delayed his eleventh studio album to avoid the possibility of not meeting peopleвЂ™s expectations.Kirk Franklin, Hillsong United, Lauren Daigle, Chris Tomlin e mais. The song featured several mainstream artists. The first single from the album, was an interpretation of the Bill Withers song Lean on Me and was produced by Franklin and pop producer Dan Shea. The Nu Nation Project was the fifth studio album from Kirk Franklin, an American Gospel musician, and choir director.

Then it becomes cultural to say, вЂitвЂ™s wrong to do this and itвЂ™s wrong to do that.вЂ™ It becomes a misinterpretation of scripture.вЂќIn the opening track of FranklinвЂ™s latest offering, he letвЂ™s people know that it is his job to help them lose their religion. вЂњA lot of times the thoughts of religion are not all bibliocentric, sometimes theyвЂ™re cultural. The problem is that when manвЂ™s ideology and thought process gets involved, sometimes what he does is change the rules,вЂќ Franklin said. вЂњIt was pride that I would never be able to live up to вЂI Smile.вЂ™ I would tend to just kind of stay away, because I was scared of not being accepted like I was with вЂI Smile.'вЂќAlthough it took Franklin four years to release his latest album, вЂњLosing My Religion,вЂќ he is now passionate about the record that he refers to as вЂњromantic.вЂќ More than just a collection of songs, the 45-year-old is spearheading a movement with a record that urges people to look beyond their religious beliefs.вЂњReligion is manвЂ™s systematic approach to try to keep the rules. A lot of it was fear, and then I really began to learn that spiritually fear is a form of pride,вЂќ Franklin revealed to The Christian Post. вЂњTo be transparent, thatвЂ™s what took me so long to do the album.

WeвЂ™re so appreciative of Him nobody has to tell us to keep the law,вЂќ he said. Instead of jumping in the water to save you, I stood on the side to yell вЂkick harder, breathe faster, Stay afloat!вЂќFranklin continued by asking, вЂњif I did that, and IвЂ™m yelling the instructions to you, would you be as appreciative?вЂќThe minister of music likened religion to the person standing on the side of the lake and yelling instructions to a drowning individual.вЂњGod sent His son to jump in the lake to save us. вЂњNow imagine if you were drowning and I drove by. You can be religious and not know relationship.вЂќTo avoid any confusion, Franklin decided to use a parable to further illustrate his point.вЂњIf you were drowning in a lake, I drove by you and saw you drowningвЂ¦if I jumped out of my car and jumped in the water to save you, youвЂ™d be very appreciative wouldnвЂ™t you? When you saw me, you would always speak to me, you would always hug me,вЂќ he said. вЂњBut the definition doesnвЂ™t define the relationship, meaning you can be married and still not know intimacy. I understand that there is a human aspect of being able to identify people whether itвЂ™s African American, Hispanic or Asian,вЂќ he told CP.

ThereвЂ™s always more picket signs вЂGod hates gaysвЂ™ or вЂGod hates abortion. вЂњI think most people in mainstream America, they donвЂ™t know God. Knowing God as a loving father is very foreign to them,вЂќ he told CP.
