LOS ANGELES, January 28, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com)
– Sunday night’s Grammy Awards show was all about shock value.
Scantily-clad singers, same-sex “marriages” set to anti-Christian
lyrics, simulated sex acts and a performance full of demonic imagery by
pop star Katy Perry – who used to be Christian artist Katy Hudson – were
just a few of the on-stage stunts that seemed custom-designed to offend
Christian believers.
Christian singer-songwriter Mandisa, pictured here, opted to stay home from the Grammys Sunday night.
While most of the industry insiders in attendance cheered the provocative displays, at least a few decided they’d had enough, as one Christian nominee walked out in the middle of the show, and one Grammy award winner refused to show up at all.
“We left the Grammys early,” Christian gospel singer Natalie Grant
announced via Twitter. “I’ve many thoughts, most of which are probably
better left inside my head. But I’ll say this: I’ve never been more
honored to sing about Jesus and for Jesus. And I’ve never been more sure
of the path I’ve chosen.”
After social media caught fire over Grant’s decision to walk out of the show, with many homosexuals accusing her of ‘hate,’ Grant responded via Facebook.
“I NEVER said I left during any particular performance,” Grant wrote. “I only said I left early. I never pointed out any one particular performance, I only said I had many thoughts about the entire show, which were best left inside my head and that is where they will stay. So those who say I condemned one performance but then condoned others clearly did not read the post.”
“I will never stand on a street corner and wave a sign, I won't use my platform to engage in political arguments that will only divide and not unite,” she said. “I do have my own personal convictions that I live by, and I will continue to work out my own salvation with fear and trembling before the Lord. (Philippians 2:12)”
