Erica Campbell Talks Sexuality in Christianity: I wish I could say that I was a virgin when I got married but I was not. [VIDEO]

You know I’m from Inglewood, so there’s a side to me that you all don’t see very often.  But, i’s very much apart of who I am.  And when I’m just hanging with my girls, I may talk like that! And people are not used to that.  They’re used to very pulled up and polished and singing Yesterday and Help. But, I just wanted to have fun and declare my love for God.  And at the same time reach an audience that I think the Gospel community sometimes ignores.  There is Christian Hip-Hop but I feel that more Caucasian children gravitate to it.  So, I figured, you my people so, let me get with my folks!

There are some people who don’t like the song and that’s ok.  You can listen to someone else or buy someone else, I won’t even be offended by it! But, I think before you criticize and especially before you criticize publicly…because what that does is make the Christian body look even more divided and more argumentative and at war with each other.  If you know me, or you know someone that knows me, contact me as opposed to posting something ugly or nasty.  Now, you’ve created this conversation and the people that like it are mad and the people that don’t like it are mad and really God gets no Glory out of that. If you take all of the music away, which is the main thing people are mad at, and you just look at the words, you change your total view.

I’m not new to this, I’m not new to criticism.  I’m not new to stepping out on faith and doing things that are different that people don’t understand.  What we have to understand is that this is the enemies #1 tool.  He knows that we’re not going to stop going to church, but if he can get you to go to church and fuss and argue about things, then you can’t hear God’s directive.  You can’t really receive his love because you’re in the wrong spirit.  All he’s really trying to do is distract us from hearing God.  So, if you’re distracted by someone who wears a dress and you don’t like the dress etc. you’ve got to really assess yourself and say ‘What is really going on?’ ‘What do I really have a problem with?’

The moment he [Warryn] said he was starting a church, I said ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa…are you sure?  You know I just put out a record right?  I have to tour.  How am I going to be back on Sundays?’ So that was a bit of a juggling act and we’re still figuring it out.
