X Factor star Jahmene Douglas talks about his faith
THE MARCH issue of Britain's Youthwork magazine contains an interview with successful X Factor entrant Jahmene Douglas. In the interview Jahmene spoke about his Christian faith and his commitment to a clean lifestyle. He said, "I think it is sad how much children are exposed to and what they're told to think is ok. I haven't been in a serious relationship. I'm 21 and most people would think I'm weird or strange because I don't go out drinking, I don't get into relationships, sleep around and have sex, I'm not a 'lad's lad'. But what's a man? What makes a man? What makes a married man? Do you want someone who's drinking; do you want someone who has slept around? I'm trying to build myself up to be a man, not a lad, and I think it's important for young people to know that that's ok. I've never been drunk in my life."

Well done to Jahmene for saying this! It's what our young people need to hear! They need to learn to respect themselves by staying pure!
