@@brianworkman9954 I cannot say that Amy was never a Christian. But it is clear that she has let the devil bully her and deceive her. I Jn. 5:18 says that some Christians let the devil touch them and some do not. Neither can sin. I think that, like Elvis and many other believers start making money and gaining fame before they are sound in the scriptures. Looking at Amy's visage beside Franklin's you can tell who is in God' s image. This teacher seems to be teaching to keep O.T. Law, which is only for the non convert, and was not for the non-Jew. When he says, like myriads of preachers, that the Christian can disobey God, he is erring from the faith.
If you love them you will tell them what the Bible teaches about their sin. Because they are going to hell and you can help them. If you love them. Otherwise you are a coward and could be responsible for their doom.
The most loving thing we can do as believers, is share the truth of God's word with humbleness and respect. We are called to share the truth of the Gospel regardless of how it may be received. Right on Brother! Thank you for speaking the truth in love.
The most loving thing Amy can do for her niece is tell her the truth of the Bible. Beckett Cook has a great testimony of coming out of a homosexual life style. And it was because Christians he meet told him the truth. He also said even when he was living a gay life, deep down he knew it wasn't right.
Becket cook says he is an ex-atheist. Isn't an ex-atheist another word for former atheist ? Atheists have made the comment there is no such thing as a former atheist. Well according to ex-atheists, there is. And I bet at one time when Becket cook was an atheist he said the same thing about ppl who said they were ex-atheists. Now Becket cook says he is an ex-atheist aka a former atheist. Hmm
Thank-you for sharing the truth biblically. It's good to hear people stand on God's Word for what it says and not a faulty human interpretation of it. God bless you all!
Grace S. Yesss! A vs.comes to mind--" they do err, not knowing the Scriptures,and the power of God" --and , making the Word of God of none effect🙄 Amy's saved and she'll never lose that, so let's pray for her, because I have , more times than I can count, fell from God's approval😰❤
I just pray with all my heart that our prayers touch Amy Grants heart in a way that she’s never ever had before and believe the Truth that has always been turned around by humans!! Not just in Bible times but NOW🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
She left her marriage with three kids to marry an already married man. She hosted an alphabet wedding (which means she accepts homosexuality, a serious sin against God). She left gospel and Christian music (that gave her her start and recognition) for fame and fortune in the secular world. I say she’s a lost soul.
@@paulthomasmiller1842 firstly, you don’t know me therefore, you really don’t know what is in my eye. Secondly, she is a public figure that has influence over those that follow her, including the youth, so it is not okay that she publicly and openly advocates what are clearly sinful matters. She makes excuses for what is gravely sinful and claims to be a Christian. It is a necessity to correct such unGodly errors in the same way (in this case, publicly) to try and prevent others from going on the wrong spiritual path. Woe to those who call evil good and good evil. Who put darkness for light and light for darkness. Who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Isaiah 5:20. Recognizing what is sinful and stating it as such, is not a wrongdoing. It’s what Christians are called to do. It’s called speaking the Truth.
How far she has fallen and the world rewards her for it. Were she still sensitive to the Holy Spirit she would take the narrow path of truth instead she reinforces sin and calls it good.
Amen, you can,t serve both God and money, we are in the season of the sifting the sheep and goats in the true Church and he who becomes a friend of the world ( it,s sinful ways ) makes themselves an enemy of GOD. BE ye holy even as I am holy in the true fear ( reverence) of the LORD, AMEN.
She began singing gospel and stepped over onto the popular side for the money. Once she filled her bank account and was no longer popular, she came back to singing gospel. Now this. Don’t have her music and never plan to.

Timely. I did not know about the Amy Grant/Franklin Graham situation but I just so happened to touch on a similar topic the last two weeks in my own church: Obedience to the law was not criticized by Christ or the Apostles, it was not obeying by faith and trying to establish their own righteousness by the works of the law, this was the sin. Pharisee's are marked by these three distinctives in my opinion: 1) Administrative Authority 2) Tradition is on par with the scripture 3) Merited Justification. That is Pharisee-ism and even extremely hardcore fundamentalists, though some may get very close, typically haven't met all the marks of the Pharisee. Although by that I am not defending those ones that do qualify as legalists, which is also not the benchmark of Christian obedience. A healthy Christian should be pursing personal holiness as the normal desire of their relationship with their Savior. Good and accurate message Michael. It is a topic modern 'Eva" needs to have clarified.
I am completely baffled by your comment. It really is none of your concern to be concerned. I am so sad to hear people say such horrible things about others. Such holier than Thou attitudes.
She began her career singing contemporary Gospel music. She was pretty popular and had a few hits. Then she crossed over to pop and openly said she wasn't singing Christian music anymore or doing ministry. If she ever was saved that change was proof she backslid. She's no authority on the Bible.

There is but one sin and everything else is a result of that sin. It is believing that you are separate from God and believing that God is one thing and you are another. God’s life is my life. God is the life of my life.
Thank you for your comment, not sure I am understanding you correctly but If there is "one sin" that separates us from God it would be denying Jesus as the Christ. John 8:24
The only thing that can overcome the deception of the devil is God's word. Without God's truth, there is no discernment. Test everything against God's truth. Do not be deceived; God is not mocked. Come, Lord Jesus, come.
My heart hurts for Amy. Without a doubt there was an anointing of the Lord on her music when she was young. It's not there anymore & it hasn't been for a long time. It cannot come back until she repents. It's the same for any of us. Sin blocks our relationship with Him. She still wants to do music & I'm sure she'll still do ok for herself but it will never be the same. I think she knows this too. MW Smith wrote a song that I always thought was written for Amy "I Miss the Way" though in the videos it indicates he wrote it regarding a male mentor. But it speaks of a longing for someone who has "moved in other circles, to the beat of different drums" (lyrics) "And I see only glimpses of the one you used to be, the inspiration, that you were to me". He wrote this song at the same time Amy "moved away". I miss Amy!!
If Amy truly loves her niece, she will tell her the truth because Jesus is the way, the truth and the life!!! Jesus warned his disciples in Matthew 24 to be careful not to be deceived. He said it several times. We see so much deception in the world and it's going to get worse right before Jesus returns . I pray for Amy that the Holy Spirit reveals to her that she's deceived. Thank you to this wonderful pastor who is preaching the truth so that none of us will be deceived!
Anyone remember when Sandy Patti had an affair and a divorce. Christian radio stations would not play her music. She was not welcomed on many well known platforms to sing. And more! How is this being handled in Christendom today? A definite delineation between believers
I have experience with extreme legalism and progressives. When I think of legalism, Pharisees per se I think of those who create rules and interpret scripture to justify their position. Raised in Southern Baptist churches, I’ve seen too many twist scripture to follow their own interpretation. For example, those that say all alcohol consumption is sin yet scripture describes drunkenness as sin, not drinking. These are the same people deny that Jesus turned water to wine and justify scripture “it wasn’t really wine but grape juice. Or those that deem women in pants is sin and never, ever to church. Then there is the opposite, the modern “every-thing-is-okay” progressives that accept and embrace all sin. They completely skip where Jesus said to the woman at the well, “go and sin no more.” Great message!
If you live in the South , it’s common to use tobacco on the way to church. But heaven help you if you are seen with a beer . On the West coast you might have a Cocktail with your after church lunch . If you use tobacco, you are considered to be back sliding. Legalism seems to be relative to the local culture.
@@jonyoung6405 Common tobacco use in the south? No. This is a false stereotype at least in my experience. Some will however, address the “sinner” over a cocktail or beer but more these days are okay with it within reason. I am reminded of my brother in law, a small town country back woods preacher who views all forms of alcohol, tobacco, as sin. He is also the same person that said only the KJV is the true Bible. I once confronted him with a statement hoping to challenge his point of view, “don’t judge others because they sin differently than you.” He didn’t get it. 🤦🏼♀️
Does Amy Grant even go to church? If so her pastor is responsible for addressing this but most celebrity "Christians" are not part of a local church which says a lot. ✝️
@@michellecarpenter1519 same situation, different players. Nancy Pelosi’s bishop has refused her Communion and instructed that she repent her promotion of abortion. She thumbed her nose at him when she later took Communion at Mass in DC. Lord have mercy on these celebrity Christians, they are in peril.
Some people only believe what they want to believe. It's dangerous ground!! It is compromise, and the Lord never compromised nor does He, His Word to make others feel comfortable. Sometimes being a Christian is not comfortable!! but, I would rather know the truth and knowing the truth makes you free. There is a day of reckoning coming, and if we call ourselves Christians then we should believe and act like it
I pray Amy's gay niece will radically be save and set free from the perversion she is in and be such a great witness to her aunt Amy. And even let her Aunt Amy know that this is a sin before the Lord.
Amy list all my admiration and respect. I don't even listen to her songs anymore. Let her deal with God. She knows very well that she is an influencer and should be a light in the darkness, not support lgbtz. No time for her bad testimony
each of us has to focus on our families, the church in our area and those God puts in front of us. Amy is Amy and has made her choice. We are the good Samaritan now go!
Poor Amy,she has the same choice God gave us all...freedom to chose the Lord or the world...her and Vince have chosen fame and money and the crowd is more important then honoring our Father....to do that can be hard especially in this world today,if you proclaim your a child of God then represent the family name proud...God is righteous and moral He will tolerate NO sin....if you say you love Him then serve Him honorably,and stop using Him to try and justify your choice to join and be apart of the sickness a depravity of this world. Shame on you....come soon Lord Jesus 🙏 Amen
Yes! LOVE God and love others. If you love God, you'll do the right thing which is loving the homosexual but you won't celebrate their sin and bless their "marriage".
This is so careless and unlike Jesus to say. What you’ve said. We all sin enough without needing to use our words to condemn someone because their belief is different from theirs. Tolerance is one virtue we need to practice. If Christians had tolerance there would not be the hate, killing of so many people through out time because of their religious beliefs. Tolerance is being able to understand that everyone is different and sees and understands God differently. We are not just robots needing to make replicas of ourselves. God knows our hearts! Let God be the judge
This is so sad, but I’ve felt this way about her since she and Vince left their families to get married! She’s been off the rails for awhile. Terribly sad. I listened to her songs as a new believing teenager.
I remember when Amy Grant came to Dallas for a concert at the Starplex. The newspaper did an interview where she said "no more preaching." She had decided to cross over to pop music. So I went to the concert and preached outside at the entrance that Amy was backslid and Christians should know that and don't go in. Grant sent some of her people out to confront us and threaten us. They didn't know beans about the Bible. They got frustrated and left us alone.
Not really surprised at Vince.Amy knows better.Therefore she will receive the greater condemnation and judgement .Deneinghing the written word is far worse than having never known the truth of the Bible.
True love also stops someone from committing a crime or acting against God's law of morality. Allowing people to go against God's law means you don't love them. A father shows true love when he stops his child from committing a crime or other bad stuff that goes against morality. Now, celebrities who claim true love and at the same time, encourage people to go against God's law, that's not love. When you support an act of crime, you are indirectly committing the crime.
the Bible says to Love people not their sin. When we accept the sin of others we do not walk in the Spirit. As far as amy Grant is concerned She will stand before a Holy God one day. those who practice these sin will not inherit God's Kingdom
you evangelicals tried to push Amy Grant down my throat for 30 years too...i knew she was off the beam when she started talking "Family Planning" about 10 years ago, planned parenthood in other words
I almost didn't watch because I thought you may be 'redefining' love, as the world wishes to. I was more than pleasantly surprised that you explained the error in trying to sneak around the Word of Jesus. Amy should have realized the mistake in her decision as soon as the world (White House) ridiculously sang her praises. The confusion can always be dispelled when it arises: What does the Word of God say? Thank you, Pastor, for being steadfast.
I am not surprised that the world would praise Amy Grant, and Franklin Graham is ostracized for being Biblical..,the Bible talks about this very senecio in the last days……😊
Oh my!! We need to pray for ourselves to be able to love like Jesus! It’s easy to criticize others and call them out for what we believe is wrong. But that isn’t loving our fellow man. Showing Jesus to them by our love is what will make them seek Him.
@@debrapershing2046 The real danger with not calling sin, sin, is there is no need for a savior because nothing is sin anymore. Absolutely love and pray for everybody, but supporting and celebrating a message of homosexuality or pedophilia or any kind of sexual activity out side of (1 woman & 1 man in the context of marriage) is not loving. It is not caring at all in the name of Christian love. No one -needs to shame or bash anybody for any sin but marching in support of LGBTQ+ is way over the line for anyone who is a Christian.
More than anything, Amy wanted the applause of man through secular stardom. Her ambition and transformation to that goal is now COMPLETE. Goodbye, Amy.
I’m not qualified to be the judge,but the Bible tells us that we will be known by the fruit we bear. Amy and many other contemporary Christian artists feel the same way she does ! We have google,so look up some of these singers! They sing terrific songs but is that what they really believe! Homosexuality is a Sin period! They’re plenty of sins but Amy doesn’t believe being queer is one of them!
The only authority is God and his word, The bible. If Amy Grant promoting this she doesnt know what God said. Obedience to God is commanded, not to celebrity singers or celebrity ministers. Read the Bible and you will know what God wants from you.
Jesus said "Sin no more". We are sinners by nature. We need to follow God and his word. Stop following the words of men and women, God's word is good and final. "Sin no more" God's word is sufficient. Amy Grant will not be my judge. Glory to God.
I guess she completely skipped over that part in the bible about what Jesus said affirming marriage, "He who created them from the beginning made them MALE and FEMALE and the two shall become one flesh, so they are no longer two but one flesh; therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate. Matthew 19:4-6 Peace and Blessings to you all.
Amy Grant lost me when she left her husband and family to marry Vince Gill. I think he did the same but am not certain. So, love isn't attraction but sacrifice and dying to self for the sake of the beloved. That's what Jesus did and his followers are called to do the same. When one lies to the self, it opens the door to rationalizing wrong thinking. Any effort to correct in love the error of the lie is often met with, "Judge not." The example of Jesus forgiving the prostitute is pointed out as forgiveness for sexual sin. But those who choose to emphasize Jesus' love and forgiveness totally ignore his admonition, "Go, and sin no more." As for gay unions, a priest I know once commented, "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." Franklin Graham is a brave man in the war against evil. BTW, TH-cam, Why no numbers of likes???
The deception is great because it's time for the LORD JESU CHRIST TAKE US UP WITH HIM!! IS YOU'RE LAMP FULL OF OIL IT BETTER BE GET RIGHT OR GET LEFT BEHIND HE HAS WARNED US BEWARE FOR HE COMES AS ATHIEF INTHE NIGHT!!!
If the story about Amy Grant is true. She's wrong; needs to be admonished and needs serious prayer. 😮 but what we hear in the Christian media is often as misleading as the secular media. Franklin Graham is no Pharisee. MikeInMinnesota
4:40 my audio cut out so this part was missing - "Jesus said if you love Me keep My commandments, that's commandMENTS plural".
Amy needs to realize that God is still on the throne. God is good. Amy needs to repent for her own good.

But it speaks of a longing for someone who has "moved in other circles, to the beat of different drums" (lyrics) "And I see only glimpses of the one you used to be, the inspiration, that you were to me". He wrote this song at the same time Amy "moved away". I miss Amy!!
Brian McClaren, while not as famous as Amy for his music, put out some of the best songs, in terms of content ever. He is a false teacher, a heretic
If Amy truly loves her niece, she will tell her the truth because Jesus is the way, the truth and the life!!! Jesus warned his disciples in Matthew 24 to be careful not to be deceived. He said it several times. We see so much deception in the world and it's going to get worse right before Jesus returns . I pray for Amy that the Holy Spirit reveals to her that she's deceived. Thank you to this wonderful pastor who is preaching the truth so that none of us will be deceived!
@@tamikessler7600 Amen!! You're absolutely right!
No need to hurt for Amy. You don’t know what Amy does. How judgemental to make the claims you make.
Anyone remember when Sandy Patti had an affair and a divorce. Christian radio stations would not play her music. She was not welcomed on many well known platforms to sing. And more! How is this being handled in Christendom today? A definite delineation between believers
I have experience with extreme legalism and progressives. When I think of legalism, Pharisees per se I think of those who create rules and interpret scripture to justify their position. Raised in Southern Baptist churches, I’ve seen too many twist scripture to follow their own interpretation. For example, those that say all alcohol consumption is sin yet scripture describes drunkenness as sin, not drinking. These are the same people deny that Jesus turned water to wine and justify scripture “it wasn’t really wine but grape juice. Or those that deem women in pants is sin and never, ever to church. Then there is the opposite, the modern “every-thing-is-okay” progressives that accept and embrace all sin. They completely skip where Jesus said to the woman at the well, “go and sin no more.” Great message!
If you live in the South , it’s common to use tobacco on the way to church. But heaven help you if you are seen with a beer . On the West coast you might have a Cocktail with your after church lunch . If you use tobacco, you are considered to be back sliding. Legalism seems to be relative to the local culture.
@@jonyoung6405 Common tobacco use in the south? No. This is a false stereotype at least in my experience. Some will however, address the “sinner” over a cocktail or beer but more these days are okay with it within reason. I am reminded of my brother in law, a small town country back woods preacher who views all forms of alcohol, tobacco, as sin. He is also the same person that said only the KJV is the true Bible. I once confronted him with a statement hoping to challenge his point of view, “don’t judge others because they sin differently than you.” He didn’t get it. 🤦🏼♀️
Does Amy Grant even go to church? If so her pastor is responsible for addressing this but most celebrity "Christians" are not part of a local church which says a lot. ✝️
No guarantee, many pastors don't speak up regardless
Sad.
@@michellecarpenter1519 same situation, different players. Nancy Pelosi’s bishop has refused her Communion and instructed that she repent her promotion of abortion. She thumbed her nose at him when she later took Communion at Mass in DC. Lord have mercy on these celebrity Christians, they are in peril.
Probably one like Joel Osteen’s, Hillsong, or Steven Furticks.
Some people only believe what they want to believe. It's dangerous ground!! It is compromise, and the Lord never compromised nor does He, His Word to make others feel comfortable. Sometimes being a Christian is not comfortable!! but, I would rather know the truth and knowing the truth makes you free. There is a day of reckoning coming, and if we call ourselves Christians then we should believe and act like it
She will have to answer one day for all of us and she stands before the Lord and she is accountable for the people she's leading a stray
And you were given the right to avoid the "judge not" scripture how??
I pray Amy's gay niece will radically be save and set free from the perversion she is in and be such a great witness to her aunt Amy. And even let her Aunt Amy know that this is a sin before the Lord.
Rev Franklin Graham is speaking Gods word sorry Ms Grant read Rom 1
Evidently Amy Grant needs to listen to the words she sings!
So if you disagree with the controlling man in the bully pulpit you are bad ? Follow the power & money...therein lies the rub.
@@sandburgmartin7947can u explain your comment
Amy list all my admiration and respect. I don't even listen to her songs anymore. Let her deal with God. She knows very well that she is an influencer and should be a light in the darkness, not support lgbtz. No time for her bad testimony
Please note we are not judging when we follow the word of JESUS CHRIST!! HIS words are the Truth there is!! What does GOD say!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊
Poor Amy. Prayers for her
each of us has to focus on our families, the church in our area and those God puts in front of us. Amy is Amy and has made her choice. We are the good Samaritan now go!
"poor"? amy? what? shes made her choices! she will regret them, dont waste your breath on deliberate sinners; help the ones who WANT help.
Poor Amy,she has the same choice God gave us all...freedom to chose the Lord or the world...her and Vince have chosen fame and money and the crowd is more important then honoring our Father....to do that can be hard especially in this world today,if you proclaim your a child of God then represent the family name proud...God is righteous and moral He will tolerate NO sin....if you say you love Him then serve Him honorably,and stop using Him to try and justify your choice to join and be apart of the sickness a depravity of this world. Shame on you....come soon Lord Jesus 🙏 Amen
What did she do?
Yes! LOVE God and love others. If you love God, you'll do the right thing which is loving the homosexual but you won't celebrate their sin and bless their "marriage".
One part I felt was not mentioned is how loving is it to encourage your niece to sin and possibly go to hell
This is so careless and unlike Jesus to say. What you’ve said. We all sin enough without needing to use our words to condemn someone because their belief is different from theirs. Tolerance is one virtue we need to practice. If Christians had tolerance there would not be the hate, killing of so many people through out time because of their religious beliefs. Tolerance is being able to understand that everyone is different and sees and understands God differently. We are not just robots needing to make replicas of ourselves. God knows our hearts! Let God be the judge
This is so sad, but I’ve felt this way about her since she and Vince left their families to get married! She’s been off the rails for awhile. Terribly sad. I listened to her songs as a new believing teenager.
Thank u … i did not know the Matthew scripture was a summary of Deut & Leviticus
The spirit of Jezebell
Yes , In Grant and Graham .
amen !
Great video!! Thank you for it and God bless you. I just subscribed.
Never considered Amy Grant an authority on anything. She is a secular musician, nothing more.
I’ve always suspected contemporary Christian rock and it’s musicians, it seem much more about the beat and the sales.
My pastor preaches against it.
I remember when Amy Grant came to Dallas for a concert at the Starplex. The newspaper did an interview where she said "no more preaching." She had decided to cross over to pop music. So I went to the concert and preached outside at the entrance that Amy was backslid and Christians should know that and don't go in. Grant sent some of her people out to confront us and threaten us. They didn't know beans about the Bible. They got frustrated and left us alone.
Jesus also said He didn't come to change one jot or tittle of the law.
Obey God is not doing what the world is doing. Man marriage woman.
The 10 commandments were given to us because God Loves us.
You follow Christ the Ten Commandments become part of your life.
Not really surprised at Vince.Amy knows better.Therefore she will receive the greater condemnation and judgement .Deneinghing the written word is far worse than having never known the truth of the Bible.
True love also stops someone from committing a crime or acting against God's law of morality. Allowing people to go against God's law means you don't love them. A father shows true love when he stops his child from committing a crime or other bad stuff that goes against morality. Now, celebrities who claim true love and at the same time, encourage people to go against God's law, that's not love. When you support an act of crime, you are indirectly committing the crime.
👏👏👏
the Bible says to Love people not their sin. When we accept the sin of others we do not walk in the Spirit. As far as amy Grant is concerned She will stand before a Holy God one day. those who practice these sin will not inherit God's Kingdom
you evangelicals tried to push Amy Grant down my throat for 30 years too...i knew she was off the beam when she started talking "Family Planning" about 10 years ago, planned parenthood in other words
I almost didn't watch because I thought you may be 'redefining' love, as the world wishes to. I was more than pleasantly surprised that you explained the error in trying to sneak around the Word of Jesus. Amy should have realized the mistake in her decision as soon as the world (White House) ridiculously sang her praises. The confusion can always be dispelled when it arises: What does the Word of God say? Thank you, Pastor, for being steadfast.
Amy read Gods Word
Love has never been redefined- just perverted.
Matthew 19:4--Case Closed.
I am not surprised that the world would praise Amy Grant, and Franklin Graham is ostracized for being Biblical..,the Bible talks about this very senecio in the last days……😊
Years ago Jimmy Swaggart said these things about Amy Grants music she blamed him for her losing a child
It’s sad for her and her husband, not to love God more than pleasing men. Hope and pray she and her husband repent 🙏🏽
Oh my!! We need to pray for ourselves to be able to love like Jesus! It’s easy to criticize others and call them out for what we believe is wrong. But that isn’t loving our fellow man. Showing Jesus to them by our love is what will make them seek Him.
@@debrapershing2046 The real danger with not calling sin, sin, is there is no need for a savior because nothing is sin anymore. Absolutely love and pray for everybody, but supporting and celebrating a message of homosexuality or pedophilia or any kind of sexual activity out side of (1 woman & 1 man in the context of marriage) is not loving. It is not caring at all in the name of Christian love. No one -needs to shame or bash anybody for any sin but marching in support of LGBTQ+ is way over the line for anyone who is a Christian.
@@debrapershing2046what you are saying is not scripture you are a people pleaser
Jesus also said remember Lot’s wife,she looked back at a city of sin and turn into a pillow of salt.
More than anything, Amy wanted the applause of man through secular stardom. Her ambition and transformation to that goal is now COMPLETE. Goodbye, Amy.
They want their ears tickled...
Amy Grant has always been a self-centered Christian. Her attitude is “If it suits my needs, that is my definition of being a Christian “.
The Title says Amy Grant abd Franklin Graham. Sorry about the LIE.
God is again homosexuals he loves them but not their life style to support gay life your against God
I’m not qualified to be the judge,but the Bible tells us that we will be known by the fruit we bear. Amy and many other contemporary Christian artists feel the same way she does ! We have google,so look up some of these singers! They sing terrific songs but is that what they really believe! Homosexuality is a Sin period! They’re plenty of sins but Amy doesn’t believe being queer is one of them!
You do have the right to call them out when you see it.
The only authority is God and his word, The bible.
If Amy Grant promoting this she doesnt know what God said. Obedience to God is commanded, not to celebrity singers or celebrity ministers.
Read the Bible and you will know what God wants from you.
We need to speak the Truth in love. Or love them all the way to Hell
Jesus said "Sin no more". We are sinners by nature. We need to follow God and his word. Stop following the words of men and women, God's word is good and final. "Sin no more" God's word is sufficient. Amy Grant will not be my judge. Glory to God.
I am very disappointed in Amy Grand and Vince Gill with their decision to host gay wedding! Thank you Franklin Graham for speaking the truth!
I guess she completely skipped over that part in the bible about what Jesus said affirming marriage, "He who created them from the beginning made them MALE and FEMALE and the two shall become one flesh, so they are no longer two but one flesh; therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate.
Matthew 19:4-6 Peace and Blessings to you all.
Amy Grant lost me when she left her husband and family to marry Vince Gill. I think he did the same but am not certain. So, love isn't attraction but sacrifice and dying to self for the sake of the beloved. That's what Jesus did and his followers are called to do the same.
When one lies to the self, it opens the door to rationalizing wrong thinking. Any effort to correct in love the error of the lie is often met with, "Judge not." The example of Jesus forgiving the prostitute is pointed out as forgiveness for sexual sin. But those who choose to emphasize Jesus' love and forgiveness totally ignore his admonition, "Go, and sin no more." As for gay unions, a priest I know once commented, "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." Franklin Graham is a brave man in the war against evil.
BTW, TH-cam, Why no numbers of likes???
The deception is great because it's time for the LORD JESU CHRIST TAKE US UP WITH HIM!! IS YOU'RE LAMP FULL OF OIL IT BETTER BE GET RIGHT OR GET LEFT BEHIND HE HAS WARNED US BEWARE FOR HE COMES AS ATHIEF INTHE NIGHT!!!
Expose them fakes !
Amy is doing what the world doing. She's not obeying God.
If the story about Amy Grant is true. She's wrong; needs to be admonished and needs serious prayer. 😮 but what we hear in the Christian media is often as misleading as the secular media. Franklin Graham is no Pharisee. MikeInMinnesota
Can you have love without discipline?
