One year ago, the “God Is Good” singer attended the Gospel Music Association’s Dove Awards, where he accepted the prize for New Artist of the Year. At the time, he admitted he wasn’t even sure he would attend the event “because this is just all for Him and everything I do is for the Lord.”
He went on to say, “My name will fade away, just like all of ours one day. But, at the end of the time, and for all of eternity, One Name will remain, and that’s the name of Jesus Christ.”
Now, though, Frank said he feels “a conviction to go even a step further.”
“I don’t know if I even want to step on the stage; I don’t even know if I want to step in the room,” he said. “I have decided to take a stance of non-participation. I will not be attending the Doves or the Grammys. I hope to be an example to the youth that the trophy is our salvation. The trophy is that my name is listed in the Book of Life, and I get to have eternal life.”
