Rapper DMX is Officially A Deacon

DMX is officially a deacon? At least that’s what he’s telling us. In a recent interview with website Global Grind the rapper revealed that he has been made deacon at his former church and is preparing for his first sermon. At least we know that he can preach.

Check out excerpts from the interview below.

"I know a few years ago that you said that you wanted to pursue preaching or that you wanted to study the bible a little more, have you taken the time to do that?

Yeah, I read the whole bible. I just been made a deacon at the church I used to go to – Morning Star. I would like my first sermon to be there or in Yonkers. The biggest step is not in the studying, reading, but the warning to change the way you live. Wanting different things for yourself, and making that change because if you still want to drink and smoke, you could read as much as you want, that doesn’t mean you’re ready.

Right!
I just find myself happy with the simple things. Appreciating the blessings God gave me. Enjoying my kids more – just changing."
