Justin Bieber Acting His Age?

Just when you thought you had heard enough, here I go with my comments prompted by a CNN commentator:

"Boys will be boys and that's all he is doing....it's a phase and he will grow out of it."

Really?

Hitting your limo driver?  Egging a house for $20K damages? DUI in a sports car I cannot even spell!  C'mon!  Pitty perhaps...  I did hear another commentator wondering just how long he would live. Prayers needed here instead of pity for a kid with an undisciplined life in search of what he therefore will not be able to find.

Richard Foster, author of Celebration of Disciple, is clear that we need boundaries and a life in which we are accountable with consequences.  That goes for any of us at any age.  There is no such thing as an EZPASS for life.  The bill comes due unless we first run ourselves into the ground.  The gift and fruits of the disciplined life is living into the image of God--recognizing your life as a gift and offering it to God and others as a gift.
