If you ever need a demonstration of the importance of a Christian worldview, look no further than Miley Cyrus.
The 17-year-old pop star tells Parade: "Let me make it clear . . . I am a Christian. Jesus is who saved me. He’s what keeps me full and whole." But she goes on to say,
People are always looking for you to do something that is non-Christian. . . . But it’s like, "Dude, Christians don’t live in the dark." I have to participate in life. If I wear something revealing, they go, "Well, that’s not Christian." And I’m like, "Yeah, I’m going to go to hell because I’m wearing a pair of really short white shorts." Suddenly I’m a slut. That’s so old-school. . . .
My job first is to entertain and do what I love, and if you don’t like it, then change the channel. I’m not forcing you to watch me. I’m not forcing you to talk about me. I would do that pole dance a thousand times again, because it was right for the song and that performance. But, dude, if you think dancing on top of an ice-cream cart with a pole is bad, then go check what 90% of the high schoolers are really up to. It’s funny. I don’t know if a lot of parents remember what they were like as kids. But I’m like, "Dude, as if you were an angel!"
At least Miley knows who her Savior is, and praise God for that. But when a young girl can't see any connection between her Christian faith and the need to not act like a stripper in front of millions of kids, than I'm afraid the Christian church is falling down on the job.
