‘Christian’ recording artist Mylon LeFevre of the band ‘Mylon and Broken Heart’ passed away from cancer complications last week at 78.
Born in 1944, LeFevre grew up as a musician and wrote the song’ Without Him’ when he was in his teens, which Elvis Presley would record. He spent years touring and traveling the world, recording alongside legends like Eric Clapton, Elton John, and Billy Joel.
He became a ‘Christian’ in 1980, quitting secular rock and signing away all rights to his previous albums in order to get out of his contract.
He released a dozen Christian albums over the following decade, receiving a GMA Dove Award in 1987 for Rock Album of the Year for ‘Crack the Sky’, as well as a Grammy for best gospel album. The band broke up in the early 1990 and he would record for folks like Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith, though he himself would only release one album in the last 30 years, ‘Bow Down’ in 2013.
In the last decades, he focused more on teaching and teaching as a traveling evangelist. He divorced his wife Frances and would later marry Christie, who ministers alongside him through Mylon LeFevre ministries.
By all indications, however, his discernment and theology were suspect and wretched. LeFevre was a long-time ministry partner of Kenneth Copeland, with his show ‘On the Road to Freedom’ featured on Copeland’s Victory channel.
He attends Copeland’s Eagle Mountain International Church (EMIC), sitting under the worst heresies and blasphemy for years.
LeFevre describes Copeland, who is unquestionably a ravaging wolf, prosperity pornographer, and arch-heretic, as his “mentor,” “friend,” “spiritual father” and “father in the faith” that he’s been in a “covenant relationship” with for over 30 years.
In fact, LeFevre preached at EMIC less than two months ago and has preached there nearly twenty times since 2005.
He even wrote and released music with Copeland.
While we make no judgements of whether LeFevre is in heaven or hell, and his wife is insisting the Lord will be telling him “well done good and faithful servant,” we have no reason to suppose this is true.
