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." CR

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!

I don't sleep around having sex, don't drink or smoke. Because I want to live healthy, and be a good model to my children. This is my way of contributing to build up a good society for me and for my children and to the next generation. And I thank God for loving me for who I am.

What a breath of fresh air this young man is. You have to wonder what the divorce rate would be and how many kids would have there dad around and involved in their lives if more men had these kind of values.

What an amazing role model for our younger generation. A young man with faith in God and principals that are unfortunately are found on these days. My husband was 30 when we married and Christian, had never slept with anyone or been drunk. He was proud to be able to say he had saved himself for the right partner. God has been the centre of our life and marriage for over 20 years and our love for each other is as strong now than when we first met. Proud of you Jahmene for not being dragged into the worlds way of thinking. .and what a God given talent.
