News of pop singer Justin Bieber and his girlfriend, Selena Gomez, attending Bible study hasn’t garnered as much attention from the Evangelical community as it should.
Not because we care about celebrity status or bad-boy behavior, but because we are deeply concerned about souls and spheres of influence.
You might roll your eyes at this topic choice, dismissing Bieber altogether.
Or you might be questioning Bieber’s faithful sincerity because of his horrifying decision making that includes prostitutes, DUIs, drag-racing, and racial slurs. Despite all his past blunders, don’t react to Bieber’s church-going too harshly.
For if Evangelicals disregard Bieber wholly, then we miss an incredible opportunity for youth ministry.
