Abiding Faith: Seeking popularity is the process of bringing attention to one’s self for personal glory. To maintain popularity you find out what people like or dislike and then conform yourself to be more appealing. Paul told us NOT to be conformed to the system of this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds in order to prove what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. But popularity and celebrity seek to deceive and distract us from God’s will. The right thing may not always be convenient or popular but the right thing is always right. Trust, worship and follow Christ – that’s always the right thing.
