The Long Road Home - Your Spiritual Life

Ann (the one with no blog and no webpage) sent me this link, with a couple of questions attached.

is it right that churches and radio stations still won't play her music?
or is that a permanent consequence of her sinful choices?

First off, it cracks me up that churches and radio stations won't play Sandi Patti, but will play Amy Grant (who is divorced and married to a second husband--which according to scripture, probably is adultery--I add "probably" in order to cover myself. As far as the questions above, churches and radio stations make their choices and they have the right to do so. These choices are morally right, though, only if they are based on moral belief, not on knee-jerk reactions or flavor-of-the-day. There are permanent consequences to her actions, at least one of which is that she will forever be the "adultress." I think she probably needs to make a more public confession and repentance--since the adultery was made public, the divorce is by necessity public, and she is--or was?--a public figure. This article may be a first step. It's good to see that she is in a redemptive community that cares for her soul.

Public sin is a tough call. The fact that CCM is a business, makes it even tougher.
