CELEBRITIES NEED JESUS TOO









This has been on my heart for years and I finally taking time to write out my thoughts on why Celebrities Need Jesus Too, how us as Christians are failing to reach Celebrities , and how we can do better at reaching Celebrities. 




I don't know how many of you have seen this video of Justin Bieber leading worship at a Coachchella Home Church event .  
All I got to say is ...... POWERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But sadly there are believers who's first thought or the first thing they say is " Bieber is faking this for publicity , How can Bieber be saved ?  , and  If Bieber is saved , why he is being mentor by hertics like Pastor Judah Smith and Pastor Carl Lentz ?" ( sidenote: I don't get the hate that Pastor Judah smith gets , but do understand people who have a problem with Pastor Carl Lentz were he does not speak on certain key subjects )

Now is it biblical to judge Bieber or other celebrities salvation or any salvation  ?


Well I think Matthew 7:1-5 makes very clear , before you judge someones walk with Christ, make sure your walk with Christ is in check also . 
I will be the first to admit I have judged Bieber, other celebrities, any normal people's salvation in the past because of  I thought it was my duty as a good Christian to judge them . 

For example , Brian Head Welch , the guitarist of the Band Korn, When I heard he was saved and I saw him in one of bethels movies , I thought there is no way he can be saved!
The reason I thought this way is because of dark lyrics of Korns songs , but then it hit me , What if God had sent Brian Head Welch to be a light in the darkness ? To reach those that the Church refuses to reach ?

What if Justin Bieber is supposed to be the light in the darkness to people the Church refuses to reach ?

Now The Bible does instruct us how to rightfully judge  , here are some verses that back that up : 

John 7:24 (CEV)

24 Don’t judge by appearances. Judge by what is right.

Colossians 1:9  (CEV)

9 We have not stopped praying for you since the first day we heard about you. In fact, we always pray that God will show you everything he wants you to do and that you may have all the wisdom and understanding that his Spirit gives.



1 Thessalonians 5:21  (CEV)

21 Put everything to the test. Accept what is good


2 Timothy 4:2  (NLT)

Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.

Galatians 6:1(NLT)

6 Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer[a] is overcome by some sin, you who are godly[b] should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.


Matthew 18:15-17  (MSG)

15-17 “If a fellow believer hurts you, go and tell him—work it out between the two of you. If he listens, you’ve made a friend. If he won’t listen, take one or two others along so that the presence of witnesses will keep things honest, and try again. If he still won’t listen, tell the church. If he won’t listen to the church, you’ll have to start over from scratch, confront him with the need for repentance, and offer again God’s forgiving love.


I implore you to study theses scriptures that I have given you today before you judge Justin Bieber's salvation , any other Celebrities salvation, or any else's salvation  .
  
I leave you with this quote:


  

LEEMAN'S SONG OF THE WEEK!



Hey you guyyyyyyyyyyyyyys................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Leeman with another Leeman's song of the week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This weeks song is by one of my favorite country singers, ( which is rare for me to say because with country music now being top 40 pop garbage)  Chris Stapleton.
I don't remember when I first heard chris Stapleton , it was probably his grammy performance with Justin Timberlake or a Pandora Radio Station .
When I first heard his voice , it was so refreshing because of how his voice did not sound like any of the other country artist out there that was on the radio.
I would really love to see him in concert someday .
Here is Chris Stapleton's  cover of Prince's Song : " Nothing Compares To You"
