Well, all the artist have really tried but they still have a long way to go for example the one that dressed with his shirt opened & with dreadlocks on ( I don’t want to mention name). He doesn’t exalt God with his mode of dressing, I don’t know which soul that will come to God through such manner of dressing
So let our dressing also preach to people.
Good one put together yeah they are making waves no doubt.
May the Lord help us.
I must say that they are doing amazingly well and great in the music industry. But their music should not only do the teaching but their dressing code as well, very important because that alone says a lot about them. God bless them and inspire them more. Amen!
Kudos to all the gospel’s artist around the globe,so inspiring and soul lifting but some needs to amend their ways of dressing,God bless them
More grace to the gospel musician all round the globe,may God’s grace continue to abound with them.
They need to do more about their dressing it should portray the message they are passing
