Kelsey Grammer, who’s 71, told The Christian Post he’ll never deny his faith in Jesus, whatever it costs him. “Jesus said, ‘You know, you will suffer so for my sake.’ OK, bring it on,” he said. “There’s bigger things out there than whether or not our neighbor thinks we’re the best guy in town.”
He says he doesn’t preach at people or talk in church lingo much, “but if somebody asks me to deny that I believe in Christ, I’m not going to do it.” Grammer played Pastor Chuck Smith in Jesus Revolution, and he thinks America is in an awakening now like the Jesus Movement was: “The enemy is always at work, but so is God… We’re not giving up the fight.”
My take
I appreciate the honesty. He isn’t claiming to be a street preacher. He’s saying there’s a line he won’t cross, and in Hollywood that line costs something. Most of us won’t face that in public, but we face smaller versions every week at work and online. And he’s right about the awakening. I keep seeing it in these campus revival reports.
“Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven” (Matthew 10:32).
God Bless, and Happy hacking!
