    Britney Spear’s Under Orders:  Read Your Bible an Hour Every Day

    Bookmark and Share

    1.  Sensationalistic as it may be, I do hope that Britney is taking her father’s advice.  The Word of God has the power to change Britney; and an hour a day would put many of us (me included) to shame.  Would it be outrageous to pray for this young, confused girl to be captured by her reading?

    2.  What do you think about this song being played on the radio?  Would you let your teenager listen to it? 

    Love to hear your comments…

    Todd


    According to a UK entertainment website, Britney Spears' dad has issued strict backstage conditions to keep his daughter on the straight and narrow. Top of the list is that she must read the Bible for one hour a day.

    Evidently, Britney's new music video was shot out of her father's eye... it's creating quite the controversy, and not just in the Christian community. Please know I post this with a warning... it contains graphic images and the title of the song is a play on a four letter word. Reportedly, it is starting to get a good amount of radio airplays.



    Two things to comment on today...

      wow, although it really doesn’t shock me, it does bother me.  I definitely wouldn’t want my kids listening to this.  It’s really sad to see the mess that her life has become, and like you, I pray that God will change her. She could have a tremendous impact on millions of young people if she really followed Christ.

      Unfortunately, her relationship with her parents isn’t all that hot, from what I understand.


      I wonder just how much control her dad has on her backstage time, much less any of her time, since she’s an adult.


      I’m guessing that if her dad didn’t have much influence on her song choices, he’s going to have a hard time enforcing anything like this.


      And Todd, it’s not outrageous at all to pray that 1) she would actually do the reading and 2) be transformed by it.  That’s my prayer, anyway!

      do we really need to ask and blog about if this is appropriate for the radio or for kids to listen to?  of course not.

      Why is this post up here?  Not getting it.

      You have to at least give credit that it was a bit more creative than the masking that was used in the 80/90’s. They play “come on feel the noise” and “unbelievable” on the radio and the actual word is in those songs.


      I had not heard the song until now but I did hear about it prior to this, from my wife actually.


      My children won’t be listening to it, we are already having the discussions with our kids about the music they listen to. I think my parents failed in letting me listen to whatever I wanted to, but I also think making my kids only listen to ‘christian’ music is just as big of a mistake.


      For those of you that don’t get it or don’t understand why Todd posted it, just consider it a prayer request for Britney.

      i agree with mike, let us pray and agree that the lord will minister to her through her reading the bible,god saved me i beleave he will save anyone, and i pray that the lord with his great love and mercy will make a way for her to hear and listen to his word, amen, how many will agree, if two shall agree it will be done by the father in heaven.

      So her Dad makes her read her Bible for one hour and then let’s her go out on stage and sing this???

    8. Mike on Mon, March 23, 2009

      I am by no means an authority on the Spears family. But considering the known information, Britney is an adult. Her father’s tolerance of her career is probably the compromise for her where she allows him to be in her life and encourage her to do something like read the scriptures daily. I can assure you that if he was condemning of her lifestyle he would not have the influence in her life that he does.


      Sounds like something we should all consider.

      Reading the Bible will transform no one who sees it as a self help or help yourself guide. Unfortunately that is the way the Bible is exegeted on any given Sunday in any given start-up or denominational franchise. The Spears family are just poster children for the audience the modern church has created. The felt need zombie nation, locked in on a churchianity that is made to order where the Bible is a mere book of pragmatism. Vending machine and a la carte spirituality. Inoffensive palate conscious goes down smooth made to order snack size truthy-ness.


      We are only going to see more of this approach to Christianity because this is exactly what a huge chunk of evangelicalism is serving up, a Gospel that is compatible. A Gospel that WE initiate (we are the seeker, or a likeness of christianity streamlined for the new age marketplace).

      Britney’s father has made comments about his daughter’s body that border on incestuous.  I won’t post them, but I’m sure you can find them if so inclined.  To think that before ‘Hollywood’ he was a youth pastor makes me shudder.

      OOPS, my former post was about Jessica Simpson, not Britney—sorry!!
