I’ve always felt a certain way about Christians living in extravagance, in opulence. Especially when it’s a pastor. However, it’s ok to have nice things, as long as those things don’t have you. That chain is nice but also understated. It’s not opulent. Earrings too. Doesn’t look like you’re flaunting your wealth. Even though the price tag is waaaay out of my range. 🤣
I agree there is nothing wrong with having nice things, but when there is thousands of homeless on the streets, very poor communities in the black neighborhoods and you drop a bag on some worthless chain instead of dropping a bag on building better and more comfortable shelters for the poor, better streets in the black and forsaken neighborhoods, better schools in those nieghborhoods and much, much more, how Christian and of Christ is that? To be a rich Christian and look past the sufferings of the lowly?
Luke 12:16-21
[16]And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
[17]And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
[18]And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
[19]And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
[20]But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
[21]So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
Luke 12:15
[15]And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
1 John 3:17
[17]But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
I totally FEEL you! I can’t do expensive jewelry because #1 I lose stuff easily. #2 even though some may see the “value,” it just doesn’t have the same value for me…I think of too many other things I rather do with the money, so buying jewelry is just not on the list. Side note: Looking forward to seeing those “streets of gold” where there is no oxidation!
Most people do not realize that most of the things they see celebrities wearing or that they have are not theirs. They are borrowed. And a lot of celebrities seem like they have so much but what you don't see is how in debt they are to such things and how truly unhappy those celebrities are that seem like they got it all together.
I believe God doesn't have a problem with us having nice things. He wants us to enjoy life, he wants us to enjoy the things we have. But God does tell us to not be materialistic, do not store treasures on earth but store treasures in heaven, and do not put any other God's before him. Does that mean we can't have jewelry, nice cars, or nice kicks, or nice things? No, He doesn't want our lives to be burdened or harder than it has to be.
I believe in all things we need to ask ourselves and consider; is owning certain things or spending a ton of money on a certain things going to cause me to stumble or hinder my spirituality or walk with God!!
I’m still materialistic but I love god still. I don’t worship or misuse my material possessions at all
Every dollar you spend on yourself could feed someone, save someone, and house someone. I say limit the amount of money you spend on yourself and not 100,000 or or even 10,000, like I don’t need a little necklace when someone just needs shoes and a bed… I’m not against treating yourself, I’m just not for indulging…
God bless you Elijah. We could find a jewelry piece just as nice for a tenth of either of the prices you just mentioned, and it would be just as good.
Stay pure hearted brother. And always stand firm. God bless.
I know it’s not easy for Lecrae to be in the position that he is on as an artist and a believer.... you’re awesome lecrae!!! We love you!

“Shoutout to my kids for the jewelry you’ll inherit.”
1K Phew is the perfect person to go to Ice Box with.
"You know what my jewellery is? It's Reach Records!" "This is my necklace!" 😅
"It's a whole house on your neck." 😭😭😭
I felt that bro. Lol
@@chapta5ive 😅😅😅
I'm proud of u love u ur music has saved my soul n lifted my spirit
Love the honesty! Thank you! I agree with those struggles, not quite on the same level, but same struggles. Especially since my salary is paid by supporters.
I feel like that's the Lord speaking to you...but also you are blessed! ...and our God is a king ...I think you're fine 🙂 and your family down the line will sure appreciate it! Shoot if I could afford nice things I'd buy them.
Always thrilled about your perspective about life issues.
I’m glad you’d rather not wear a house on your neck. I think wearing jewelry is more than acceptable, as long as we are using the majority of our personal wealth for our families and beyond that the more traditional form of generosity.

Do you like this? Let me know!
Thank God it’s not a house but this I just a terrible purchase. Why are we spending money on these expensive items as a christain. See how he justified himself and did not let them bible make his decisions. The Bible has many verses on this issue
I agree I love jewelry but I’m not going to have too much of it. And it’s not going to look stupid well not to me lol 😂
I listened to your reasoning behind why you were against getting jewelry....I agree with your assessments....at the end of the day one has to ask themselves why they are making the purchase....especially as one representing our Creator God.....is the purchase something that we can use to glorify Him, or are we making it to elevate our status....Love your rawness and realness.....I can relate to you on so many levels.
That is a GREAT idea!!! You are AMAZING and you keep it real and use your heart and your Faith instead of doing what other dudes tell you to do. You listen to God and that makes me have mad respect for you!!!

Proud of yaa bro. Love your music...some real cool swagg is good y'all....
Many many continuous blessings
Good idea with the modest one. Them stick-up boyz are sometimes lurkin’ when the bigger chains are on display. God bless & hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
nah fr these fans that not from anywhere where he from think flashier/cooler=better
we walk with the authority of Christ but u not all attention is good attention
Love your honesty!

God 🙏 love's you Lecrae keep up the good work
Love this video!
Lol I Enjoy your videos like your music as well. God bless You!
aw haha it looks great!!! not too showy and not too tiny either. just right!
Man you are awesome. You wear what you feel.
ruclips.net/video/Elt6Uga0dko/видео.html
You go lecrae you deserve it.
ruclips.net/video/Elt6Uga0dko/видео.html
I feel like you made a very fair choice. My respect for you through the roof. I feel you found the perfect balance in the situation. I feel the power if the lord through that chain brother. See I too battle with the emotions of the world, it can be easy to succumb. Yet after seeing a wall full of your peers with big chains you chose to stand out. The statement is bigger than any chain they had for sale. The lord has spoke to me on this Sunday through thus video. The world needs this. Thank you.
"I don't want to be wearing a house around my neck" 😂
I agree with you, don't but it. A business mindset is so much better. I appreciate you for not buying it and not giving in to pop culture and pressure. Not buying the big stuff but having meaning behind what you have as well as reason
ruclips.net/video/Elt6Uga0dko/видео.html
My man I was struggling as well with clothes tho anyhow I think God see the heart not the money in my eyes I see that for my self but also on Ecclesiastes 1:2 vanity of vanities all is vanity …. Love you bro stay blessed
For me, I don’t wear jewelry because it was never for me but I splurge in completely different ways. I feel like we all can do better in what we do with our money but ultimately I won’t judge someone else’s spending habits without checking my own first. Like I shop at Aldi’s instead of Whole Foods but have no issue dropping way more money on clothes as compared to getting cheap/second hand stuff to save money. Seems like a lot of judgement towards his decisions in the comments but not much self-reflection of “what am I doing in my own life to be a good steward of what God has blessed me with?” I love the content and enjoy Lecrae being transparent and keeping it a buck with us!
Love your videos Lacrea!

Bruh great outlook on how to see jewelry it's a investment 🏆💪🏾
THE MOST HIGH IS MORE CONCERNED WITH THE HEART AND INTENTIONS OF THE PERSON WEARING THE JEWELRY NOT THE JEWELRY THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IS WEARING BELOVED.
Aye man get you one!!🤣 you work hard my guy, treat yourself! Ain’t nothin wrong with that!
Ayo I'm subbed to you
Why didn't Jesus treat himself like that?
@@silentcyclist very well could have. But he chose to stay broke for a reason.
@@caco8510 I want to be like Jesus, not wordly people. Why people are trying to mix Jesus with modern culture (world)? Jesus did not sell anything, and said that you can't serve two lords, which is what Lecrae is trying to do. Watched his interviews and didn't see Jesus in his words.
I'm subbed to you and I had no idea you listen to Lecrae bro that's sick
Awwww I love the family heirloom concept that's so cool
Stopping in to show love from my channel to your channel much love and respect big bro thank you for sharing...God Bless...Glendale Flowers 🙏
Loved this content 🍩
I have a silver necklace that a grandparent bought me when I was in high school. I still wear it daily and I will probably give it to my son when he's old enough. After a certain point it just becomes a part of you like I only take it off when it's being cleaned and that's it
Lecrae is my big brother love you bro keep making good music and Glorifying God
*LECRAE*
Artists, Real Estate, Content Creator, and MOTIVATOR 👑👑✨✨
God's wisdom helped you make the best decision. Well done. It looks great!!
Not God's wisdom but the love of money.
The moment you take out the necklace at the end 😆😆😆 love it
Nice drip Lecrae. Keep up the wise words man😁😁👍👍
The fact that Crae/the editor used an Uncle Roger clip 👏🏾
So glad I now know another niece/nephew who watches his weejios 😂
You ever heard of Uncle Reece??
Definitely love the conclusion. 😂
Don't know ..if we only could take it to the beyond and then that's where it would be priceless n everlasting..
Totally get your perspective on jewelry! I make all mine from metal loops, wire, chain, gemstones I find or buy, etc, and that's my thing, but I don't enjoy expensive necklaces and earrings because I told myself that's not where my worth comes from. I'll still wear my mom's gold heart earrings tho, those have history. :D
ruclips.net/video/Elt6Uga0dko/видео.html
Reach records yeah 😊
I think a lot like you in this regard but the difference is you've actually got it like that and I don't though so mad respect for staying true to who you are.

Being mindful over your conspicuous consumption is a great start
Yes Crea God cares if you wear an expensive jewellery, in the book of mathew 25:15 He gave unto to 1 5 talents, unto another 3 talents and unto the other 1 talents. Whatever God gives you he expects you to multiply or atleast maintain it's worth, be it money, talent, a gift else he will take it back because God does not tolerate any form of waste. Thank you for sharing more lights on this.
Hey lecrae I’m not sure if you’ll see this or not but I’m the kid that took pictures with you at the ice cream shop at the Atlanta braves game I just want o tell you thank you for doing that cuz that made me and my brothers day thx and keep up the good work…
That 2021 bling bling 💍
Yosef witta gold chain let it low hang for the kinfolk in the old days "Yapha" 💪🏾
When the beat dropped “let me go, i been through so much I swear these people at my throat”🔥😂
When he said, "And then I saw the price tag on them big 'ol chains" at 3:29, that got me🤣 I'm the same way tho, I'm so cheap. If something is too expensive for my liking, I won't buy it and I'll always look for the best deal🤣
I completely agree. I like to spend my money wisely.. work to hard to for it. And I just don’t see any value in marital things such as Jewelry.
Lecrae a very humble human being
Lecrae giving good advice. It's something Christian rappers will need to address. And it's great to present this.
Love your music big fan 😁😁

I believe that the worshipping of the expensive jewelry is a sin but buying expensive jewelry is not sinful. Heaven has expensive jewels and gold in it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m screaming
Who else is here while the title is still spelled wrong?
With all the stuff that's going on spiritually... This is what we're discussing
I think it deals with the role of wealth in the Christian life. It's a big conversation through the focus of expensive jewelry. It's a big spiritual issue imo.
😂😂😂 so good bro
Yooooo I literally just got done listening to this song when I got the notification for this video
This is my favorite of all of your songs
Family heirlooms is a great idea crae
I think the same🤣🤣🙏
My Big brother ballin. and I see why u say "I'd rather have a dollar in pocket than a million" b careful!🤣
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Lol brother you cray cray lol love you fan
Nah Crae is too funnnyyyy
Freedom to be modest...I like it
In Latino and Indian cultures, gold jewelry is a must my man. That said, I think it’s less about balling out and more about passing something of value on. Sometimes. Not always.
Kinda obvious question.... But then again some do might find this topic interesting 'bling bling is everything!' lol Liking ur channel so far, and u sure know how to lay the fax down ma bruh from diff motha!! 🔥🙌🙏
Da Shques!!!!
Uh yes!
I think it's better to spend it on food for the poor
fair. He has done that before though, just fyi
@@johnny9 should he stop?
Typo definitely intentional. You too crae.
I go through this a lot with buying video games or movies. Do I really need to play video games? I used to buy games at 50% off, around $30 years ago. Now, I look at $30 games and I’m like… I can make use of that money to support a child in need of education, food, clothing and shelter through Compassion International for $38.
I still feel guilty that I want to buy $8-12 at a local movie theater or digitally.
I say, as long as it doesn't become an idol or worship. I am launching a business this year including jewelry and other things...it can become an investment but not an idol. Treat yourself wisely...great video.
Listen lm a born again believer and l am Believing that when l get up on my budget l am definitely copping that Porsche Taycan!!! lol

I'm a fan since atleast 2009/10 when I dreamed you and Trip visited and I was being hospitable showing my art work and chatting, but I'm married now with 4 daughters and we live in our van, and I can say all things are lawful but what's expedient for you right now. What's your goals, and how can you make the most of your time this day?
LLKV🙏🏼 A lecrae von track woulda been fire
Lecrae: “So I’m a rapper” Me: “well no duh” 😭😭😭
You are “rapper” rapper
Braydon Ricks, you haven't voted for me homie
@@WilliamFuckingButcher I thought you were running in 2024?
@@braydonricks2387 Yeah but nobody voted for me that's why I had to dropout of the Presidential campaign
@@braydonricks2387 That's just messed up Braydon, you know what Kanye could do for us? Shame😠
It's the justification of the purchase for me. "Hey Kids, get ready to inherit jewelry from Dad and remember to make a productive use of it in the future "
It’s like he hates having it 😂
Man good decision fam
ruclips.net/video/Elt6Uga0dko/видео.html
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Peace out ✌
Leacra z go on
I love the plot twist and the fact that you still haven’t fully justified it 😂
Caption: The pricetag on the big'ol chains 🤣🤣🤣
deep
lol love it
Gotta be honest.. Reach records as your jewelry, is a flex fr
That’s on me that’s on mammas 😂😂😂
Yeah lmboooo 😭😭😭. They gone sell that jewelry 💀
No.. I know its material things. But if you work hard on what you do.. you can at least spoil yourself or bless yourself with at least something.. and always stay true to the cross
Matthew 6:19-21
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Nice chain, you have to be careful when you rock the bigger chains, it will make you a target lol
Lecrea is always chewing 😂😂😂
