Amy Grant started singing Christian music as a young girl and seemed to be sincere.

Her great success in the world seems to have changed her now that she is in her early 60s...in fact, she seems to have lost her strong dedication a long time ago.

George Clooney, singer Gladys Knight, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Tania León, and the rock band U2

Clooney and Bono? UGH

If you don’t know who “Ministry Watch” is, it seems to me they are a group of liberals who delight in reporting scandal in the body of Christ *or* propping up “progressive” viewpoints in the visible church.

I could be wrong, I haven’t dived deep into them, but from what I have seen that is the impression given.

Notice there is no criticism of Grant in this piece.

I remember her primarily in the 1980’s singing Christian pop, she had quite a following. Lost track of her though.

Amy has done pretty good. She has had several No. 1 songs and writes her own music. Not bad.

> Contemporary Christian musician Amy Grant

Didn’t she abandon Christian music about 30 years ago?

Here come the RATs. Time for them to take over Contemporary Christian Music. They’ve already stolen everything else.

I still listen to plenty of Mylon, David and the Giants, Petra, Bloodgood, Russ Taff, D&K, and etc. As well as "new" bands like Fred Hammond, Third Day, Sonicflood, Newsboys, etc.

But for whatever reason, "mainstream" CCM artists hardly motivated me. Even Christian music organizations like CCM magazine seemed to heavier promote musicians with a watered down message over bands in which virtually every song was about trusting and loving the Lord and sticking to Him like glue. Or as Michael W. Smith put it decades ago in an interview with CCM Magazine (paraphrasing): "Why do people expect me to sing about Jesus in every song?" LOL

She and Vince Gill hooked up while both were married, IIRC.

BUt Amy Grant, She takes off her pants. That's what I like about Amy Grant.

I was in England in 1995 and there were posters for an Amy Grant concert in London that was coming up and they advertised her as former gospel singer. She’s made statements since she married Vince Gill that Christian music that had any idea of strong doctrinal belief was not what she was going to sing. For anyone to claim that she is a Christian singer is like saying that a coffee bean is the same as a chocolate being

She must have kissed the ring, and bent the knee to the godless left. It’s the only way she could get this honor.

My wife refuses to listen to her to her anymore, mostly because she believes that her and her current husband, country singer Vince Gill, committed adultery in leaving their respective spouses to marry each other.

In Grant’s (weak) defense, I believe that her 1st husband, some guy who’s last name was Chapman had a serious problem with drugs that he simply could not kick, and she divorced him because she was tired of it.

Sadly, she seems to have never been as committed as her image. She sang good songs but at a minimum she left her “first love” a long time back. Sad because I really enjoyed her music when she first appeared.

And also sadly, a LOT of CCM is sung by people who don’t really believe much....

I wish Vince and Amy well.
They’ve been married more than 20 years now.
