That’s a name I never thought I would mention on this blog! No, I’m not a fan. I’m male and 35 years old, so I’m out of his target audience by 20 years and one gender! But I was pleased to read this morning that in his interview with Rolling Stone magazine Bieber came out candidly in favor of the pro-life position. Bieber confessed, “I really don’t believe in abortion. It’s like killing a baby?” When asked about cases in which rape was involved Bieber was a little less sure of himself, but still came out on the pro-life side: “Um. Well, I think that’s really sad, but everything happens for a reason. ‘I don’t know how that would be a reason. I guess I haven’t been in that position, so I wouldn’t be able to judge that.”
It’s nice to hear a mega-star (especially a young one) voice his support for the pro-life side. While I do not look to a 16 year old pop star for sound moral advice, there are millions of teenage girls who will bank on his every word. I hope they hear about this interview and are influenced by his thinking in a good way.

That’s interesting. I don’t know much about the kid, but given his stardom I would be shocked if he actually lived like a Christian. Hope so. He could be a good role model for all of his fans.

There is a man names Josh Hamilton who plays for the Texas Rangers baseball team, and he openly gave glory to God for delivering him from alcohol and for enabling him to win American League MVP last year. I agree it is a great opportunity for people in the spot light to be a good positive role model. We should keep Justin in our prayers because he will be faced with many temptations that will challenge his faith. He needs our prayers.

It’s refreshing to hear that from Beiber. Sadly, I have no doubt the media will have its way; Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg will bemoan him; and his management team will school him on what to say and think.
