For Today guitarist Mike Reynolds, got himself into some hot water over some anti-gay tweets that he posted in response yo a Dallas Voice article about the removal of “Anti-gay pastor Louie Giglio” from his responsibility as “benediction speaker” at the upcoming presidential inauguration.
Reynolds had this to say.
“There IS a state church being formed, there is going to ba an exclusive acceptance of preachers who advocate the LGBT [LINK]. Don’t be deceived, homosexuality is a sin. This sin with all other sins is what Jesus died for. He conquered so that we would be free. No such thing as a gay Christian, the same as there is no such thing as a Christian who loves his sin. Don’t be fooled by the formation of a state church as though the government is being converted, they only use the name of Jesus for their Progressive liberal agenda. If you are a Christian then separate yourself from this civil religion that advocates sin. Be true to God.”
Following the tweets the band released this statement:
“For today has always and will always be a band that is about loving people, we have no hatred towards any people regardless of what they believe or how they live. We may not agree on everything but Jesus loves you and died for you. And so would we.”
Blessings, For Today
