Today, Dafnette and I attended Trinity Temple of Prayer where my father-in-law is the pastor. The church held a birthday celebration for him. It was a blessing to be there in celebration with him. Before we going there, we attended Zion Church’s 8:30 a.m. service. We wanted to support Jeff Simmons, the assistant pastor, since he was speaking today. He gave a great message on the topic of love called, “Show Your Love.” Yesterday, Dafnette and I received several text messages informing us that Kenny Lattimore was singing at all four services! Some of you may remember Kenny from his Top Ten R&B hit, “For You.” I am so delighted to see the great things that God is doing at Zion. Kenny Lattimore did a great job. He can definitely sing! I was pleasantly surprise to find discover that he has a genuine passion to serve God. It’s always a blessing to see individuals who allow God to use them in secular arenas to be salt and light. He and his wife, Chante Moore, released a double album of gospel and love songs last year entitled “Uncovered/Covered.” He realizes that many people may not be able to appreciate the fact that they sing love songs. Yet, their desire to set a standard for that genre. Here is something that I’ve always said to myself. If God is love and Christians have a relationship with God, then shouldn’t we be the ones to sing love songs from His perspective? Before I started living for Christ, I wrote “love songs.” Unfortunately, they were marred with the depravity that marked my life and character. After I began living for Jesus Christ, not only did I write song of worship, but love songs that reflected the heart and passion of Christ.
Check out Kenny Lattimore in action. I was going to post a TBN gospel clip with his wife Chante Moore. I decided to just go ahead and post one of his songs that I liked back in 1996. Now that I’m married, I can appreciate this song from a different perspective.
