I became a follower of Christ in 1977. My first 8 track was Larry Norman and my second was Randy Stonehill , the “Sky is Falling” I’ve seen Randy in concert 3 times. I’ve enjoyed his music over the years. I was sad, angry, and disappointed to hear about his divorce to his wife of 30yrs. The typical thing might be to just blurt out judgments. What good is that! Rather I’m left with, I don’t understand…how, why? As Christian artist, you kinda look up to them. You look up to them as role models, as examples of true Christianity and when this happens, it makes me wonder. Why the Christian message, aren’t we supposed to live by a higher standard than the world. Aren’t we supposed to have the power to love and live a life pleasing to God, or is all that just wishful thinking. I don’t understand. Now I really can’t listen to Randy’s music or his message. To me it’s lost its meaning. I just read Sandi’s message and if it’s true, and he did cheat on her, it makes it even more disappointing and my sympathy goes out to her. My wife and I have been married for 26yrs. Not always easy, but God is the glue, He gives us the power to love each other faithfully. Sincerely, Doug

I am so angry at the remark by Steve from Canada , stating that I am in a relationship......I was a good and FAITHFUL wife to RAndy for 29 years....He had the affairs....How dare you post a lie about me like that....
I have endured ENOUGH heartache the past three years.....HIS divorce has been final for almost 2 years and I am NOT now or have I ever been in a relationship with anyone since BEFORE my marriage to RAndy on Dec. 22, 1980.....Randy was the LOVE OF MY LIFE......I made the mistake of aging.....His new wife is young enough to be his daughter....Men...honor and cherish your wives....and when you have that middle age crisis hit.....go out and buy a used sports car ....

Sincerely,
Sandi Stonehill

Steve in Canada......You could not be more wrong....I was a good and faithful wife to my husband. He left me for Leslie Sealander from Cayce S.C. I have a duffel bag FULL of love letters, his journals and pics on them on the road together...all dated....It has been three years since he left and I am NOT in a relationship to this day although we are legally divorced. Shame on you for telling such lies.

Clearly, Larry Norman is the cause for Randy and Sandi Stonehill's divorce. Randy was probably so upset, he divorced Sandi due to the grief of loosing a close friend, he married a girlfriend of two weeks later because he was lonely being all alone.

If only Mr. Norman would, just once, think of someone else for a change!

You know, I was in on the ground floor of the "Jesus Music" movement, in the days of Solid Rock and Randy and Larry. Reading over the many judgmental, stone-casting, and downright arrogant posts regarding Randy reminds me why I don't hang around with Evangelicals anymore. You shoot your wounded.

Your pious pretense of feigning real concern for Randy while you heap comdemnation on his head fools no one outside of the Evangelical world. Guess what? God has better things to do. Larry certainly has better things to do, now that he is free of this dreckfest (you know, he no longer cares what people say or think about him). And you all who are condeming Randy should have better things to do. Honestly.

Reread Romans 14:10-13 and get on with your lives.

Uncle Rand, I first saw in you concert in a small church in S. Miami in '76. I have been a friend you do not know since then. Grace and Peace to you my friend. My the Lord hold you during tough times. -Paul

I have been a long time listener of Randy Stonehill and have been blessed, encouraged and comforted by his music. I do not judge him for his divorce. I am in no position to judge the failures of others. I do not think less of him or at least I try not to. However..., I can not understand how christian musicians or any other christian with a public ministry as well known as Randy Stonehill's can continue to minister publically after divorce and remarriage. As a matter of testimony how can someone like Amy Grant stand before an auditorium and sing a song like, "That's what love is for" when the all conquering power of love could not save her first marriage? I am glad that she is happily remarried and prospering. But I cringe ever time I hear her sing about the power of Jesus Christ and the power of love. Same with Randy Stonehill. I am not saying that these people should crawl under a rock and hide the rest of their lives. Nor should they stop ministering. But publically? Or are they so addictied to public performance that they can not stop no matter what? I have my own moral failures of the past to keep me up at night but I am not in a public ministry representing the Gospel before eyes of the fallen, watching world. I am not judging. I am advising. Advising people like Randy Stonehill and Amy Grant to spare the Gospel any more slander. I am praying for Randy Stonehill. I have heard all kinds of rumours like he is already remarried and that sort of thing. I dont know and I dont care to know. He just needs our prayers right now.

I think some of you need to read Failed Angle a little more closely. Perhaps it's clearer after all this time of promised updates and recordings and letters, which have not been posted; but there's a lot on that site which seems not to live up to its claims. The extremely short letter excerpts are very ambiguous. The long letter posted from Larry to Randy is quite bizarre in many ways. And, for example, the site author claims many times on the Randy page that Randy apologised for marrying his second wife so quickly, but in the example given he actually doesn't apologize for that, but is expressing sorrow that his first wife was hurt by it and its appearance.

God knows that we are human. God knows that we ALL fail. Let's lift this brother in Christ and his family up in prayer. No man is our judge, only God. And guess what? God knows all about this situation and He still loves all involved. Blessings to you Randy, God has used your life and ministry in mighty ways, which He will continue to do. To all others who judge and condem, remember that only Christ has the right to judge. Owe no man anything, but to love one another...

I'm wondering. Could it be possible that God really meant it when He said "I will not share my glory with another"? Could it be possible that "another" includes anything made out of wood, clay, stone, and /or humanity (i.e. "American Idols", "Evangelical Idols", etc.)? And, could it be possible that as we sin by worshipping the created rather than the Creator, the created goodness/beauty of all who are involved is painfully diminished ... even, and perhaps especially,... that of the idols themselves?! I'm just wondering.
