While many in the media will note his musical accomplishments and the troubled life he led as a result, it should be remembered that DMX was an out and proud Christian who always returned to God. In 2020, for instance, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, he led an online Bible study where he called upon his followers to receive Jesus \u201cas lord and savior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the time, the \u201cRuff Ryders\u201d singer led over 14,000 viewers on a study of verses from Ecclesiastes, primarily 3:1-8, that focused on the changing of seasons:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"19\">\n<p><em>There is an appointed time for everything.
