I remember when Bob Dylan became a believer. His “I believe in you” song is still one of my gospel favorites. Sad thing was that he was put out there when still a new believer instead of protected, and the usual thing happened. Seems like the same thing with Bieber. Still praying for Dylan. He’ll be the Prodigal Son some day I hope, and a lot wiser.
Justin’s mother has long been a devout Catholic and she raised him the best she could. When he became rapidly famous and began doing the usual celeb antics she asked his fans to pray for him. I have never been a fan of his but given his background none of this is a radical departure for him. He expressed anti abortion sentiment in a Rolling Stone interview years ago which clearly came from his upbringing.
