Ex-gay anthem “Rise Up” a natural fit
The following excerpt is from the article “Singer/songwriter describes song chosen as ‘anthem’ for ex-homosexuals” written by Charlie Butts and published on OneNewsNow.com: “The movement to gain rights for former homosexuals has adopted an anthem written, fittingly, by ex-homosexual Dennis Jernigan. Jernigan, who titles the song ‘Rise Up,’ is a former homosexual who has been married for three decades and has nine children. He lives in Oklahoma.”
“… ‘When you think about it, it’s a natural fit for what they’re trying to accomplish,’ says Jernigan. Why a natural fit? Because “Rise Up” lets people know that former homosexuals are proof that hope for change for unwanted same-gender attractions is available through Christ. …”
