Brand then read Philippians 1:15-18, which he had included and linked in his post, along with the caption, “Are these tighty-whities satanic?!?” The passage says:
It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice.
“And I think that is so beautiful because, you know, I’m a person that’s come out of the entertainment industry,” Brand said. “I’m so grateful I’ve been saved, chosen, that he has found me.”
“But I’ve still got the attributes of a showoff,” he continued. “I suppose if I didn’t have, I wouldn’t even post a thing like that. But the reason I’m in them underpants, cause them’s my underpants, and the reason I’m doing that baptism—because I love Jesus. Praise Jesus Christ!”
“As long as we are directing people to our Lord and Savior, how can we fail?” he concluded.
