In 1998, gospel star Kirk Franklin said that
“homosexuality … is a problem today in gospel music–a
major concern–and everybody knows it” (Church Boy,
pp. 49, 50). The truth of this has been demonstrated more
clearly with each passing year. The most recent example
is a trio named Micah’s Rule which recorded their first
album in 2012. The band is composed of Greg McCaw, a
homosexual; Chasity Scott, a lesbian; and Mary Anne
Hewett, a “transgender.” Their first CD is “a mix of
Southern gospel, classic country, blues and a medley of
1960s peace songs–all with a Christian message” (“Gay,
Transgender Band Breaks Barriers in Christian Music,”
Religion News Service, Feb. 15, 2013). McCaw was a
Church of God pastor for 25 years and sang bass for more
than two decades for popular Southern Gospel and CCM
musicians such as Sandi Patty, Bill Gaither, and the Gatlin
Brothers. Currently, the members of Micah’s Rule attend
St. Jude Metropolitan Community Church in Wilmington,
North Carolina. Micah’s Rule wants their music to speak
the message that “in life, it’s how you walk your road, not
listening to people who say you’re not worthy of God’s
love.” McCaw adds, “We’ve all had that experience.”
This is a deceptive smokescreen. The issue is not whether
homosexuals are loved of God, or whether Christ died for
them, or whether they can be saved. It is not whether their
sin is greater than someone else’s. The issue is repentance.
The Bible plainly teaches that Christ shed His blood and
died because God loved the whole world of sinners (John
3:16). Christ came to seek and to save every lost soul. But
the Bible just as plainly teaches that men must repent of
their sin in order to be saved (Luke 13:3-5; Acts 17:30),
and homosexuality is most definitely a sin before God. In
Romans 1:26-27 it is called “vile,” “against nature,”
“lust,” “unseemly,” and “error.” Homosexuals today must
do what homosexuals did in ancient Corinth. They must
repent of their sin before God and receive the lifechanging,
sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit in
regeneration. “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not
inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither
FORNICATORS, nor idolaters, nor ADULTERERS, nor
EFFEMINATE, nor ABUSERS OF THEMSELVES
WITH MANKIND, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the
kingdom of God. And SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU:
but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are
justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit
of our God’ (1 Cor. 6:9-11).
