Justin Bieber Points World to 'Calvary' in
Christ-Centered Art to Help California Wildfire Victims

Singer-songwriter
Justin Bieber is combining his Christian faith with art to help families hit
hard by the devastating California wildfires.
He recently painted an image of a
cross that he has titled "Calvary."
Bieber posted this photo of the
painting to his Instagram account, telling his 105 million followers he plans
to sell the painting and give the proceeds to the wildfire victims.
The
23-year-old has spent the last year focused on growing deeper in his Christian
faith.
He
has been speaking to his followers about Jesus Christ using social media.
Beiber's Instagram bio currently
includes a link to a Bible study by one of his pastor friends, Judah Smith,
titled, "How's Your Soul? Small
Group Bible Study."
And
last month he posted a message of hope to his followers – a photo of a
handwritten message in black marker on a white dry erase board. The note read:
"Do
you feel you have exhausted all options? Do you feel helpless? Do you feel like
you are never good enough? What if I told you that there's a God that's willing
to meet you WHEREVER you're at! What if I told you he could take away
your pain, shame, guilt, and fears.”
#JESUS
Beiber also added a personal note to
his post.
"Jesus
is changing me from the inside out every day! AND I MISSPELLED GUILT and exhausted."
Back in July, Bieber took to his
Instagram account writing, "Let the
devil know NOT TODAY!" quoting Hillsong United's song "Not Today."
"The
devil has no power when you know the LIVING God! His name is JESUS!! Why worry
when you can worship," he wrote.
In the past, Bieber got into trouble
for bad behavior, including vandalism and smoking marijuana.
But his life has changed dramatically
since he turned to Christ, and his openness about sharing his faith has been
welcomed by fans around the world.
"I
look back at a lot of things in my life, mistakes, insecurities, and although I
have felt I've wasted a lot of time it also makes me want to be better faster!
For me personally, I want to work every day to be BETTER AT 70," he said about a new tattoo in an Instagram post in June.
