Lately, **Kanye West** aka _Ye_ has been making all kinds of headlines for all the wrong reasons while dragging the name of Christ through mess.
Yesterday, **Kanye** went on the **Alex Jones** show and made several dumbfounding statements such as praising **Adolf Hitler** while then quoting Scripture and having a Bible directly in front of him as a prop.
It would be easy to write **Kanye** off and blame him for his very DISTORTED view of Christianity that he has and is out promoting through his different platforms, but **I have a different perspective**...
When **Kanye** began embracing his newfound faith in Christ, many prominent Christian leaders _paraded_ him around and began promoting him before the Body of Christ. He was brought before the Church of America and endorsed by many American Church leaders very **prematurely**.
**Paul** says in 1 Timothy 3:6: _"A church leader must not be a new believer, because he might become proud, and the devil would cause him to fall."_
I believe that a tremendous disservice was done to **Kanye** from leaders within the Church who capitalized on his popularity instead of discipling him, which he is in desperate need of.
This issue with **Kanye** is not isolated to just him though, but it exposes a larger problem within the Church of America.
**The larger issue is that we have a TON of converts but very FEW disciples.**
Right now, Biblical ILLITERACY is at an _all-time high_ in America. Fewer than half of all adults can name the four Gospel writers, while 82% of Americans believe that _"God helps those who help themselves"_ is a Bible verse.
In a recent **LifeWay Research** study, the Bible reading habits among church attendees was shocking:
- 19% read the Bible everyday
- 26% read the Bible a few times per week
- 14% read the Bible once a week
- 22% read the Bible once a month
- 18% read the Bible rarely or never
In general, American Christians have a poor foundation in the Word of God. This is a major problem and is the reason why I decided to launch Sheridan Bible College ( [link removed] ).
Currently, we are finishing up our first semester at SBC ( [link removed] ) and it has been tremendous. Our students are receiving a solid foundation.
I want to encourage you to consider Sheridan Bible College ( [link removed] ) as a means for you to grow in your faith and go from a convert to a true disciple.
Registration for the Spring semester is now open. You can attend online or in-person. The cost is very inexpensive: $300 per semester. For more information visit www.sheridan.church/biblecollege ( [link removed] )
