Gospel singer Kirk Franklin feels disheartened since there have been a lot of news lately of Christians falling short of God's grace and admitting their shortcomings.

"As a Christian, I'm not enjoying all of the attention we're getting lately for our public failures. As imperfect as I am, I've seen Grace ..." Franklin writes in a series of tweets on his account (@kirkfranklin). "I know it's power when we confess our sins, and not make excuses. When a Christian falls, it affects everyone; not just the one fallen.."

"People will forgive; I've seen it in my own life. They just don't like bull. Our job to win souls, justifying our wrong [isn't] the solution.. Anyone can use a scripture to defend their view, that's why you gotta know the whole book, and not just the verse," he adds. "I love my team ... and I hate when we lose. Because when we lose, the kingdom feels it."

Franklin did not specify who he was talking about, nor did he mention any specific incident of a Christian experiencing a downfall. However, The Christian Post thinks he was addressing Baltimore megachurch Pastor Jamal Bryant, who was exposed for fathering a son out of wedlock.

The woman who reportedly fathered his son, LaToya Odom, even accused Bryant of not acknowledging his own child and not making any monthly support payments.

Many have come out to criticise the pastor's past, such as Davon Neverdon, the leader of a group known as "300 Gangstas." Neverdon, better known as PFK Boom, even created a YouTube video on Baltimore BLOC on May 25, telling Bryant to leave the city.

For his part, Bryant did not deny the scandal. He simply called on his congregation to pray for him. "Keep praying for me and I'll keep praying for you. I wanted to come on tonight so there will be absolute clarity — Sunday morning is to discuss Jesus, it is not to talk about Jamal," he previously said on Periscope. "So when you come to church, get ready to talk about how great God is. And not the frailty of what Jamal possesses."
