Beware of dangers of conforming
From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham
Q: What puzzles me is the lack of grooming habits of people today. While self-confidence is celebrated, doesn’t it seem that people are really celebrating sloppiness? — W.D.
A: A popular theory is “individualism.” Yet people practice the most rigid conformity in dress, in speech, in moral attitudes and in thinking. Many follow fashion at the expense of integrity. Conformity can be good and it can be very dangerous. Citizens should conform to the laws designed to protect us. Citizens that conform to rebellious behavior can harm themselves — and others. The Bible says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but he transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2).
