“I’M TRYING TO LOOK SEXY to sell a record...”
(Rolling Stone, June 6,
1985, p. 10).[1]
Luke 6:26, “Woe unto you, when
all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to THE FALSE
PROPHETS.”
Amy Grant is a tremendous singer and I admire
anyone who works hard to succeed in life. As a musician myself, I like many
songs that Amy sings. She's definitely a gifted singer. I am not publishing
this article to be unkind. I'm the biggest sinner I know (and so are you if
you're right with God and realize just how sinful we all are). James 2:10 says
to commit one sin is equivalent to breaking all of God's Commandments in the
Lord's eyes. The only righteousness which I possess is the imputed
righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grant has changed over the years, singing about her
imperfections and those who wrongly judge her. Certainly, no one has a right
to condemn anyone, for the Law of God condemns all humanity (Romans 3:19).
Whatever sins Amy Grant has are none of my business or anybody else's. We are
all big sinners in one way or another. 1st John 1:8-10 calls anyone a liar who
denies their sinfulness. The apostle Paul knew how sinful he still was as a
Christian, constantly struggling between the flesh and the Spirit of God Who
lives in every believer (Romans 7:14-25).
Having said that, I published this article to expose
Amy Grant, not for her sins; but rather, for her ecumenical associations, open
use of occult symbols in her albums, Hollywood fame, wearing pants and sensual
clothing on stage, her lackadaisical attitude toward sharing the gospel to get
people saved... all part of the Godless New World Order. I'm tired of women
singers being immodest and vile on stage and then downplaying it as just
marketing techniques. Miss "Jesus Take
The Wheel" (Carrie Underwood) is numero uno whore-of-the-year! Remember,
even the Devil appears as an angel of light (2nd Corinthians 11:13-15; Matthew
7:15). So it's not surprising that the most immoral, slutty-smutty and
disgraceful of singers claim to know and love Jesus.
Amy Grant said in 1985 that she was dressing sexy to
sell a record, and she certainly has sold many records. As of 2009, Grant
remains the best-selling Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) singer ever,
having sold over 30 million albums worldwide. Amy's on top of the world. She
was honored with a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2005 for her
contributions to the entertainment industry.
Tragically, Amy Grant's music is so vague,
wishy-washy, and doctrinally deficient that Roman Catholics support her. Amy
Grant was interviewed[2]
by Catholic.org (the world's largest Catholic network) on July 22, 2010 by
Billy Atwell.
As a born-again believer who loves Jesus Christ, I
am appalled that any professed Christian would remain totally silent about
the evils of the damned Catholic religion, which is leading billions of
people into the Lake of Fire. It doesn't require a degree in theology to
know that
Catholicism is of the Devil. Everything about Catholicism is a cruel
hoax, intended to keep men blinded from the truth and lead them into Hell
forever (2nd Corinthians 4:4). Religion wants to fit us with glasses; but the Lord wants to open
our eyes. Have you believed a lie?
I don't condemn anyone, for the Bible condemns all
of us as guilty, dirty, rotten, hell-deserving sinners. My salvation solely
rests in Christ's righteousness, because of the precious blood that He gave
for our sins. My intention is not to be unkind; but rather, to expose the
demonic nature of so-called "Christian rock," and also to expose Amy Grant
as a bad influence for Christian teenagers to follow. Amy states . . .
“I'm a singer, not a preacher,
I'm not looking to convert anybody” says Christian rock diva Amy Grant.
(Los Angeles Times, 5/4/84, pg. 2-c) Grant goes on to demonstrate her
spirituality by saying, “I'm not going to say too often
that I like a cold beer while watching a football game. That might
bother some of my fans.” (Greensville News, 5/4/94)
As
Christians, we should all be trying to get souls saved. Proverb 11:30,
“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is
wise.” Amy Grant has made
tens-of-millions of dollars through her musical career, professing to be a
Christian and singing worldly music in the name of Jesus; but she has not
glorified God when she neglects to use her massive public influence to share
the gospel of Jesus Christ with the lost. Daniel 5:23, “...the God in
whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not
glorified.”
Amy Grant professes to be a Christian, and I am not one to
judge whether she is or not, but when any so-called Christian celebrity is
honored by Hollywood and is praised by unsaved Catholics and is popular with
the sinful world, something is very wrong. 2nd Timothy 3:12 says that
believers who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. When you
stand up for Jesus and carry a Bible, the world will forsake you
immediately (John 15:19). Amy Grant is so worldly, immodest, sensual,
sinfully proud, high faced, irreverent and
carnally-minded that the heathen world loves her. That is NOT Biblical
Christianity!
Luke 8:15 teaches that every believer ought to
obediently sow the seed of the gospel to win souls to
Christ. Amy Grant openly admits that she
has no intention of winning anyone to the Lord. What a sad testimony. I
preach mostly against celebrities who masquerade as Christians, who falsely
claiming to love God; while hiding their candle under a bushel, and
remaining silent about everything that is unholy, evil, a deception, and of
the Devil. Jesus said those who love Him obey His Commandments (John 14:15).
I'm sick and tired of so-called “Christian” singers shining in humanity's
spotlight, being honored by the wicked, supporting the homosexual agenda, and no one has anything negative to
say about them because they never take a stand for anything that pleases
God. Philippians 2:21, “For all seek their own, not the things which are
Jesus Christ's.” To stand for God nearly always means to stand alone.
Jesus plainly taught that no one can serve God
and money. Matthew 6:24, “No man can serve two masters: for either he
will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and
despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Amy Grant,
Michael
W. Smith, TobyMac, and all the rest of today's apostate CCM singers are
serving mammon, i.e., money. They all know that to raise a flag for God
would be career suicide. Hollywood doesn't honor God-fearing Christians who
speak out against sin and evil. As you follow the public careers of your
favorite CCM singers, you will (guaranteed) eventually see them embrace the
homosexual agenda in one way or another.
Amy Grant admits that she has made some bad
decisions in life, as we all have; but that does not excuse her present
worldliness, hob-knobbing with homosexuals, apostate religious affiliation
with Billy Balaam (Graham) and fruitless testimony as a
professed believer. She is a friend of the sinful world, which James 4:4
says makes her God's enemy. James 4:4, “Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever
therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” Being a
“friend” in James 4:4 means “to assist” the heathen world. Amy grant is
pulling on the same rope as the Devil's crowd. She openly admits her
ignorance of the Scriptures...
"That’s one reason I
started writing songs, because I DIDN’T WANT TO IMPOSE MY RELIGION ON ANYONE.
This way the audience can sit back and draw its own conclusions. … My art and
the feeling I am trying to communicate through the songs, it would be silly
for me to say, this is who God is; I DON’T HAVE ANY ANSWERS" (Amy Grant,
interview, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Oct. 21, 1984).
There's a fine line between forcing one's
religious beliefs upon another person verses sincerely caring about other
people and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with them. Very few people
care enough to see the difference, because they are simply against God and
the Bible, period. Amy Grant considers sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ
with her fans as imposing her religious beliefs upon them. That is tragic
and sad. Millions of lost sinners about to be cast into the Lake of Fire
will one day look at Amy and ask, “Why didn't you warn me? You knew the
truth, but failed to warn me, why?” One thing is for certain, the
Godless music industry controls Amy Grant.
The Illuminati love to hide things in plain
sight. As the saying goes, “You can't see the forest for the trees.”
Symbolism and occult imagery are subconsciously perceived, but on a
conscious level will not be seen. Amy Grant is no exception. Here's Amy
Grant making her famous
El Diablo hand sign on stage.
Be warned friend, the Devil is working relentlessly to corrupt what's
left of family values and moral character in America. You're going to see
satanism trying to creep it's way into our lives in every way possible. With
Harry Potter, Devilish shows like Charmed and Witches, Country
singers popularizing songs written by satanists, the Godless Public
School System, multitudes of corrupted Bible versions, pagan holidays,
Rock 'N' Roll music, Rap, Punk, Godless CCM music, false religions, sexually
degenerate TV, apostasy in the church, abortion, adultery, homosexuality,
and every other evil imaginable... how long can America last??? Even the
New King James Bible has an
occult symbol on the front cover.
Christianity is NOT religion, it is being
born-again by the incorruptible Word of God. 1st Peter 1:23, “Being born
again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God,
which liveth and abideth for ever.” Amy Grant says she doesn't want to
impose her religion on anyone, all she wants to do is sing and make lots of
money. Although Amy made this statement over 25-years ago, she has lived up
to her apostate statements throughout her career, never having shared the
gospel truth with her fans. Amy admits that she doesn't have any answers,
and still doesn't from reading her website, song lyrics and recent
interviews; but the Bible certainly does have the answers, which is why
Jesus told us to SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES in John 5:39.
Amy Grant doesn't want the answers which God
provides in the Bible. Instead, Amy says she lives by her own views...
“I don’t feel
like it’s my mission in life to preach to people. I feel like it’s just
my gift to communicate life as I see it” (Amy Grant, Family Weekly, August 11,
1985).
May I humbly say, I am as narrow-minded as the
Bible. I believe that the King James Bible is God's inspired Words, each and
every word of it! I sincerely doubt if Amy Grant is truly a born-again
Christian, because she openly states that she doesn't have ANY ANSWERS.
If you know how you got saved, then you do have the answer of how to go to
Heaven. Does Amy not know how she came to be born-again? Is she saved at
all? I think not. Amy admits that she has religion; but that doesn't mean
she is saved. Most people have churchianity without Christianity. Remember
that the Scriptures warned us that religious phonies would fill our churches
in the Last Days (2nd Timothy 3:5), being sensual and worldly, professing a
form of godliness but denying the power of the gospel thereof (Romans 1:!6).
The Bible says from such TURN AWAY (2nd Timothy
3:5). You should turn away from Amy Grant and the rest of the apostate
Ecumenical Movement which has infected America's churches today, leading
Protestants, Evangelicals and Roman Catholics into a One World Religion. Amy
Grant is extremely popular and well supported by Roman Catholics, all of
which think keeping the Seven Sacraments will get them into the kingdom of
God.
People don't realize that
501c3
state-licensing and the
Homosexual Agenda are helping the
Ecumenical
Movement unite all the churches in apostasy.
Max
Lucado encourages America's churchgoers to receive, support and
encourage illegal immigrants (a CFR agenda, promoting the North American
Union). Rick Warren is a CFR
member and has flip-flopped on Proposition 8 in California concerning
gay-marriage (as a chameleon changes colors to adapt to its surroundings).
Whether it be your favorite CCM singer coming
out of the closet, or befriending those who
come out of the closet, or apostate religious authors Like Joel Osteen,
Rick Warren and Joyce Meyer,
they're all leading America away from the God of the Bible into apostasy!
If Amy is saved, then she is very far from God
to avoid her Biblical duty to be a soul-winner (2nd Corinthians 5:11). Jesus
taught that the seeds which fell amongst the thorns are those believers who
are choked by the cares, riches and pleasures of THIS LIFE, and never bring
forth any fruit (Luke 8:14). Jesus commanded His disciples to lay up
treasures in Heaven (Matthew 6:20). Romans 10:14-15 plainly teaches the
importance of soul-winning. It is apostasy for Amy grant, or any professed
Christian, to shirk off their responsibility to win souls. Every believer
has a duty to win souls by sharing the good news of Jesus Christ crucified,
buried and risen for our sins. God does the saving, our part is to simply
preach the gospel (1st Corinthians 3:6-9). The Word of God is TRUTH (John
17:17), and not just “my religion” as Amy states.
Grant may shine as a star
here in this sinful world, having her name glamorized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame; but
she will be oh so poor in Heaven, never having used her influence to win any
lost sinners to Jesus Christ. Instead she has led millions of fans into the
Ecumenical Movement. Religious Pop music doesn't get people saved.
Romans 1:16 proclaims that it is the GOSPEL that is the power of God unto
salvation.
The Devil's Music All Comes from
the Same Company
EMI Group! Like Bob Dylan and Huey Lewis, who
openly admit selling their souls to the Devil for worldly success, so do Amy
Grant and others sell out by recording with heathen companies. Sparrow
Records (shown on Amy's website at the bottom of all her 30 albums for
sale) was acquired by EMI Group in the 1990's. EMI owns over 70 music
companies! The EMI Christian Music Group
is a division of
the EMI Group, which also produce
records for Pink Floyd, Katy Perry, Smashing Pumpkins, Grand Funk Railroad,
Avalon, Sex Pistols, Iron Maiden, The Beatles, Snoop Dog, Toby Mac, and
hundreds of other heathen groups (over 1500 total). It's really sickening if
you realize what's going on. EMI Group is a heathen music production company
out to make a buck, period.
They created their so-called Christian Music
Group as part of their marketing strategy, and not because they love Christ
nor care about getting anybody saved. The same parent company that sells Amy
Grant's music sells Pink Floyd and Iron Maiden too. It's like a porno store
in the rear with a Christian bookstore in the front, all operated by the
same organization, trying to make money. There's nothing Christian about any
of this garbage, not even the fake “Christian” label they slap across it.
It's all a deception of the Devil, a “division” of the Godless parent
company. As the saying goes, “The Apple never falls far from the tree” or
“Birds of a feather flock together.” 1st Corinthians 10:21, “Ye cannot
drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of
the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.”
The idea of a heathen greedy music company
starting a so-called “Christian” music sub-company to market a different
group of society is nauseating to say the least. Now you know why the gospel
is never preached at any of their CCM (Contemporary Christian Music)
concerts. They're no more Christian than Ozzy Osbourne. EMI sells Katy
Perry's records, a little tramp whore who lays with her legs open in her
immoral video Last Friday
Night (T.G.I.F.). She sings about streaking in the park, getting
drunk, having sex with a boy, and wanting to do it all again to her parents.
Such destructive music is deliberately being targeted at teens today by scum
Communists, God haters and Luciferian occultists to ruin them. It was
Vladimir Lenin who said, “The
best revolutionary is a youth devoid of morals.”
SENSUAL MUSIC AND LIFESTYLE
Amy
Grant’s life and
music have been marked by sensuality and pop psychology rather than true
holiness and biblical truth. Her 1997 album, Behind the Eyes, made no
mention of God or Jesus Christ and had no explicitly Christian lyrics. She told secular entertainment distributor IMusic that the song "Like I
Love You" is actually about loving oneself!
Articles about Amy Grant in the secular
media invariably reveal that she is loved not for her Christian message but
for her sensuality.
People magazine noticed Amy’s lack of holiness in
the performance of the video for the song "Baby, Baby."
"There’s saintly Amy
cuddling some hunky guy, crooning ‘Baby, Baby’ into his ear and looking pretty
SLEEK AND SINFUL…" (People, July 15, 1991 p. 71).
Amy Grant admits that...
"I’M TRYING TO LOOK SEXY to sell a record..." (Rolling Stone, June 6,
1985, p. 10).
When asked about the controversy surrounding this video, Amy
replied:
"The whole thing just seemed very boring to me. Besides, shooting the
video was a blast. IT'S FUN TO FLIRT if you’re a happily-married woman"
(Woman's Day, Dec. 22 , 1992 , p. 35).
The Bible says that sexual flirting,
immodest attire, and such things are basically the same as adultery. When Amy
Grant dresses sensually and dances sensually in her performances, she is
committing adultery with her audience. Such action does not contribute to a
healthy marriage. Further, it is obvious now that Amy was NOT necessarily a
happily-married woman when she spoke to Woman's Day magazine in 1992.
UNSCRIPTURAL PHILOSOPHY
Amy Grant’s unscriptural philosophy is
evident in the following statements she and her associates have made to the
press:
"It seems to me that
PEOPLE WHO ARE MOST ADAMANTLY AGAINST PREMARITAL SEX HAVE EXPERIENCED SOME
KIND OF PAIN IN THEIR OWN LIVES. Like the people who say absolutely NO to rock
& roll. Chances are it has something to do with a past sadness…" (Amy Grant,
interview, Ladies Home Journal, December 1985, p. 210).
"I’m a singer, not a
preacher. I’M NOT LOOKING TO CONVERT ANYBODY. I feel people come to hear my
music, not to hear me talk" (Amy Grant, St. Petersburg Times, Florida,
April 7, 1984, p. 4).
"I don’t feel like
it’s my mission in life to preach to people. I feel like it’s just my gift to
communicate life as I see it" (Amy Grant, Family Weekly, August 11,
1985).
"I’ve become
disillusioned, and that’s why my lyrics are less idealistic. I’m realizing
that the world isn’t a perfect place, and GOD CAN’T SOLVE EVERYONE’S PROBLEMS"
(Amy Grant, interview, Family Circle, September 9, 1986, p. 24).
"If an audience feels
I’ve walked away from God because I no longer talk about Him onstage, then
that’s their loss" (Amy Grant, Ibid.).
"I get tired of
Christians trying to tell me what being a Christian is. I get tired of that
kind of Christianity. … People asking, ‘Have you had your quiet time today?’
We have such a regimented idea of what Christianity is" (Amy Grant, 1980,
cited by Bob Millard, Amy Grant, p. 107).
"That’s one reason I
started writing songs, because I DIDN’T WANT TO IMPOSE MY RELIGION ON ANYONE.
This way the audience can sit back and draw its own conclusions. … My art and
the feeling I am trying to communicate through the songs, it would be silly
for me to say, this is who God is; I DON’T HAVE ANY ANSWERS" (Amy Grant,
interview, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Oct. 21, 1984).
"CHRISTIANS CAN BE
SEXY. What I’m doing is a good thing" (Amy Grant, interview, People,
July 15, 1991).
[The following is
Amy’s own description of her actions before a crowd of 30,000 young people in
Kissimmee, Florida, in 1978.] "We’re sitting there, I do my sound check. All
these girls are in halter tops, great figures, everybody's wearing nothing,
we’re in Floriday [her way of pronouncing Florida]. I’m eighteen, and I know
what they’re thinking. I said, ‘I really want to know Jesus and I really want
to love him except … my hormones are on ten, and I see you all … sitting out
there getting chummy and praying together -- and WE’RE HORNY. MY FEELING IS,
WHY FAKE IT? I’m not trying to be gross, I’m saying let’s be honest about
what’s coming down’" (Bob Millard, Amy Grant, 1986, p. 103).
“Why isolate yourself? Your life isolates you enough. I’m isolated when I
walk into a room and somebody says, She’s a Christian and NOBODY OFFERS
ME A JOINT and all the coke (cocaine) disappears. . .” (Bob Millard,
Amy Grant, p. 169)
The Bible says in 2nd Timothy 2:22, "Flee also youthful lusts:", but Amy
says...
"Petting happens . . . As a teenager, when I gave part of me to
someone, I knew I was just going to flirt, HAVE A LITTLE FUN, . . ."(Bob
Millard, Amy Grant, p. 30)
Amy Grant tells the Ladies Home Journal (Dec. 1985, p. 210)...
“It seems to me that people who are most adamantly against premarital
sex have experienced some kind of pain in their own lives. Like the
people who say absolutely no to rock ‘n’ roll. Chances are it has something
to do with a past sadness…”
Amy's song, "Baby, Baby", was unprecedented in Gospel Music history
topping the chart as the number-one spot on Billboard magazine. People
magazine (July 15, 1991 p.71) says of Amy's video Baby, Baby...
"There's
saintly Amy cuddling some hunky guy, crooning "Baby, Baby" into his ear and
looking pretty SLEEK AND SINFUL. . . "After all, Amy confesses, "I'm trying to
look SEXY to sell a record . . ." (Rolling Stone, June 6, 1985 p. 10)
In 1998 Amy left her husband of 16 years, Gary Chapman. Gary literally got
on his knees and begged Amy to stay. In June 1999, Amy divorced Gary. And
quickly, in March 2000, Amy married country star Vince Gill. In 1996, Vince’s
wife Janis found a note—”I love you, Amy”—in his golf bag. (People,
Nov. 29, 1999), As early as 1994, Amy told Gary,
“. . . I’ve given my heart to another man.” (CCM, January
2000, p. 36)
Amy admits to ABC's Primetime,
“I think that a part of me loved
him [Vince] instantly.”
(http://abcnews.go.com/sections/primetime/DailyNews/amygrant_vincegill_021003.html)
Though Amy has denied any sexual contact with Vince before their marriage –
few believe her – including Gary Chapman. When asked whether Amy and Vince
were romantically involved, Gary says:
“Could I answer? Yeah. Will I answer? Probably not. I think by Amy’s
admission they’ve been very dear friends for years. I suspect most people
can add. I’ll leave that to their mathematical abilities.”
(http://amygrant.offramp.org/info/articles/sep/41.html)
On Amy's Lead Me On album, Amy and Michael W. Smith wrote the
"sin-temptation-adultery" song "Faithless Heart":
At times the woman deep inside me
Wanders far from home,
And in my mind I live a life
That chills me to the bone.
A heart, running for arms out of reach,
But who is the stranger my longing seeks?
I don't know.
But it scares me through and through,
'Cause I've a man at home
Who needs me to be true. . .
Oh, faithless heart,
You tempt me to the core,. . .
God, you know my feelings here
Could wipe my world away,
Ravaging the promises
A stronger heart once made,. . .
- Faithless Heart, Amy Grant (Lead Me On, 1988)
Faithless heart — how true it was. . .
In Amy's video, That's What Love Is For, some occult symbols are
clearly and openly displayed. In the video, Amy, dressed in a red robe, (used
in witchcraft rituals) strangely flashes a six-pointed-star on the palms of
her hands. It is common knowledge the hands are the primary "contact point" in
the occult. That is why you place your hands on the Ouija board and join hands
in a séance.
