I was just reading an article that is a few weeks old regarding the X-Factor UK competition. A group called The Risk, which is made up of guys who auditioned solo and placed in a group by the show judges. At the time I read that Ashley quit the show because he did not see his future in a group. Now I come across this article from the Daily Mirror which states that the real reason was his Faith in Jesus Christ. He did not wish to compromise his faith by celebrating Halloween as was the theme during Halloween weekend.
I have in the past heard of some really successful artist who quit at the top of their success because of their faith. I find this admirable. To have such a strong faith and commitment to it that you can just say my faith above all things. I pray that the future sees him be successful in whatever God has planned for him.
