No contestant on the X Factor has generated more buzz than Chris Rene. When he first auditioned, he had just gotten out of drug rehab. Now he is a household name, and his stirring audition featuring his original song "Young Homie" has been seen more than nine million times on YouTube. Please pray for Chris Rene as he goes through this process. Often the temptations of fame and fortune can be absolutely overwhelming for a young man. I don't know if he is a Christian or not, but let us all pray that everything that is happening for him will end up drawing him toward God and not away from God.
I really would love to see Chris Rene in heaven someday. But none of us are ever going to make it there without Jesus. Please join with me in praying for Chris Rene. I would love to see him become sold out for Jesus Christ and my hope is that someday he will even be creating some great Christian music.
