Justin Bieber Reportedly Cutting Out Friends As He Gives More Power To Hillsong Church And ...

Following a significant spiritual experience, Justin Bieber is turning away anyone who might jeopardize his newfound commitment to God. Radar Online reported that Bieber is giving his old friends the cold shoulder while his relationship with Hillsong Church pastor Carl Lentz grows ever stronger.

"Justin has stopped talking to a lot of his friends," the insider stated. "He seems to have cut everyone out of his life except his pastor."

Before devoting his life to God, Bieber was reportedly hooking up with escorts while on his latest tour. The pop star apparently had a religious awakening, however, and canceled the last 15 stops in the tour. He then started hanging out with Lentz and issued a statement on social media. Bieber informed his loyal fan base that he was focusing on improving his life and isn't worried about past mistakes.

While Lentz may not have told Justin Bieber to cancel the tour, TMZ reported that the pastor has great influence over all of Bieber's decisions. In fact, sources close to the singer claim that Lentz is the person behind Bieber's newfound devotion to God and has been counseling the pop star on how he should live. Bieber reportedly walked away from their long talks thinking that he needs to devote his life to God instead of music.

LOVE these two legends…and speaking of love…A wise man named Paul once said…"Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, doesn't have a swelled head, doesn't force itself on others, isn't always "me first," doesn't fly off the handle, doesn't keep score of the sins of others, doesn't revel when others grovel, takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, puts up with anything, trusts God always, always looks for the best, never looks back, but keeps going to the end. Love never dies." If somebody says they "love you" but you don't SEE THESE THINGS? Gaurd your heart! If you have experienced love like this? Best thing you can ever do, is share it w/ as many people as you can… another wise man named Christopher Wallace said "spread love, it's the Brooklyn way.." May it be OUR way, day by day.. #occupyallstreets #aviatorsmountup #longerthetrafficlongerthecaption

Unfortunately for Bieber fans, this might mean that Bieber won't be performing or creating new music for the foreseeable future. Sources indicate that Bieber is all in with Hillsong Church and is starting to switch his purpose in life to religion. Whether or not this means that Bieber's career in music is over is yet to be seen.

Bieber was recently spotted spending time with Lentz at a restaurant in Beverly Hills. The two stopped for a quick talk at Maestro's, proving that their friendship is growing stronger by the day. One inside source even compared Bieber's involvement with the church to Tom Cruise's work with Scientology. In light of how Bieber is cutting longtime friends out of his life, that comparison might not be far from the truth.

Excited to be speaking to our Kingdom Builders tonight @hillsongnyc… Some of the most consistent and faithful people I have ever been around! It takes many, to continue to promote the available grace of God, which is no respecter of persons. That's the tricky thing about life..We desperately want to classify people in our minds. The picture above, demonstrates this well. Because these individuals are "well known", immediately it will elicit reactions..mostly harsh, because it's easier/lazy to classify that which you can't fully understand, than to pursue depth and reasoning. Projecting insecurity and bad motives is a full time job for too many people..If they were not "well known"? Much more palatable for people! Why? Because we classify that as well and are not threatened by things that fit neatly into our ready made classification prism. My point? We can't dispense grace or love how WE WANT. We must as GOD SAYS! I for one, am grateful for that. Don't deserve an ounce of the ocean of grace God has given me…Somebody once told me "humility is the great mediator. It will always be the shortest distance between you and another human being." Should make it really easy for all of us who claim to follow Jesus, to show grace and love exactly how we were given it: freely and quickly, regardless of our SHARED, INHERENT "class". Sinners… grace?? It changes the story..Have a great Thursday! #occupyallstreets #weezyandbeezy #throwback #whatatimetobealive #idontwritebooks #justlongcaptions #feelsright

Bieber has not discussed his future career plans since canceling the remainder of his worldwide tour a few months ago. Lentz also hasn't commented on the nature of his friendship with the pop star.
