Franklin Graham Responds to Christian Singer’s Plan To Host Lesbian Wedding: Don’t ‘Compromise’ God’s Authority

The Rev. Franklin Graham criticized contemporary Christian music star Amy Grant after she and her husband announced their plans to host a same-sex wedding for their niece at their farm, denouncing homosexuality as a sin.

In a Sunday Facebook post, Graham, the son of legendary evangelist Billy Graham and head of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said, “God defines what is sin, not us; and His Word is clear that homosexuality is sin.”

Graham took issue with Grant being quoted in a Washington Post article as saying: “Jesus, you just narrowed it down to two things: love God and love each other.” The artist told the outlet about her and her husband’s plans to host her niece’s wedding at their farm. The wedding will be the family’s “first bride and bride” nuptials, according to the report.

The 70-year-old Graham agreed that God calls Christians to love one another but cited John 14:15 to stress that loving the Lord means obeying Him.

“We have all sinned, and in order to have a relationship with God and spend eternity with Him in Heaven, we must turn from our sin and put our faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, who came to earth to die for our sins,” Graham wrote.
