After Christian worship leader Cory Asbury, the former member of the Bethel Music collective best known for the monstrously popular song ‘Reckless Love” broke his long-held silence about his propensity to wear nail polish in public, explaining that there’s nothing Jesus or the Bible has said that prohibits him from doing it, and that any opposition to it is rooted in ‘societal construct’ and ‘social norms,’ he was given varying levels of support for the statement.
Most of the feedback was negative, however, with many of commenters asking if the same theological justifications would apply to boys and young men wearing makeup, lipstick or dresses in school.
One account that seemingly had no problem with it, however, was the folks behind the Gospel Music Awards . Far from asking the worship pastor to reconsider in light of the transgender craze and a society seeking to erase gender differences, @gmafoveawards egged him on, writing:
“The real question is…can your daughters paint doves on your nails for this year’s Dove Award??!!” Followed by a fire symbol and pairs of clapping hands.
It’s all so dumb, but it shows the state we’re living in and the seriousness the evangelical industrial complex is operating under.
