In a strange twist that continues to demonstrate that the Gospel Coalition has little discernment and little vetting when it comes to the sort of content and people they will promote, a woke rendition of ‘Away in the Manger‘ they featured on their main channel last year just so happened to have some pro-transexual art on the wall of one of the musician’s homes, calling into question the standards they employ when finding artists to platform.
The song was written by Liz Vice, a musician associated with the Porter’s Gate, a band frequently promoted by the Gospel Coalition that has done, among other things, created a Song Worshipping George Floyd, creating a Worship Album About Illegal Immigration, Reparations, Police Brutality, and BLM , and recently seeking to create the ‘World’s First Worship Album Focused on Climate Crisis’.
Vice was joined by Madison Cunningham, also a Porter’s Gate collaborator, on guitar and backing vocals, and at this point, it is unsure whose house they are singing in, and which of the musicians the art belongs to.
The song “Refugee King” alone has some questionable lyrics, considering Joseph had a place in Egypt, and Jesus was not a refugee or illegal immigrant, no matter how badly the wokefolk want to co-opt the narrative to say that he was.
Away from the manger they ran for their lives
The crying boy Jesus, a son they must hide
A dream came to Joseph, they fled in the night
And they ran and they ran and they ranNo stars in the sky but the Spirit of God
Led down into egypt from Herod to hide
No place for his parents no country or tribe
And they ran and they ran and they ranStay near me LORD Jesus when danger is nigh
And keep us from herods and all of their lies
I love the LORD Jesus, the Refugee King
And we sing and we sing and we sing
Alleluja
The art is an image taken by Zach Oren, a gay photographer featuring transgendered men and women as part of his Ides of Gender project, designed to give them more visibility and to celebrate them.
The fact that one of these two feels comfortable with such a gross image on their wall is highly disturbing, but should not surprise us. The fact that the Gospel Coalition didn’t see it coming as a possibility, given their pedigree, should not surprise us either.
Editor’s Note. h/t To @WokepreacherTV for catching the initial woke rendition of the song and the for Jon Harris for pointing out the trans pic featured front and center.
