I used to be a fan of the hip-hop group Arrested Development. They kind of disappeared for a long time. But after their hiatus, they are now back. The group spokesperson and lead singer, Speech, has had a long road during that time. Today he is a minister at a church and devoted Christian. He spoke to Risen Magazine. Here are a couple of quotes of his I found interesting.
"I find marriage is one of the things, one of the refining things, marriage and kids. A lot of times people don't deny self when they're single, but when you want to do this and the wife wants to do that..."
"I have two kids, ages nine and twelve. I don't know if my way's special, but I believe that children should obey. You see so many families where the kids don't obey. To me that's sad, because there's a blessing in obedience, and kids are more joyful when they obey. I think in our time, having your rights...obedience seems rough; it seems harsh when I say it to a fellow American. I don't know how you or some other American reading this will see it. I know that it's a biblical thing, it's totally healthy, it's loving, it's positive. It's sad that that word has been stolen, the joy of the word, the awesomeness of the word, even when it comes to the joy of adults obeying God."
