Yikes, pretty cold for a “conservative” community.
Agreed, and I was rather horrified by the comments some left here. Knowing nothing about the man, I looked at his Instagram. He wears a cross (right side up!), publicly acknowledges God and disavows hate. There’s lots of music I don’t like, e.g., country, but I don’t bad mouth people for that. Maybe he was reaching some with a positive message they’d stop long enough to listen to. Otherwise, his life looked a bit full of dissipation, so the Lord was merciful in keeping him personally from continuing in that mess that makes idols. My bible says, “touch not my anointed,” so I’d be a little cautious about trashing talking someone professing publicly relating to God and wearing a cross, talking about love, IMHO.
