CONFORMITY CRAZE

There is a sweeping mentality among men and women today of conformity to the abnormal as if it is normal. First off the definition of conformity is the act of matching attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors to group norms.
We are witnessing right before our eyes the conformity to violence, homosexuality, drug abuse, among other things which is causing the family structure to be disassembled.
Now everyone is entitled to their opinion and so am I. This is not an attempt to judge anyone, but merely my perspective on what I am observing day to day in this life.

Violence is running so strong in our communities, that men and women almost become immune to it because it is so prevalent. Murder has a permanent segment in the news be it local or national.
Domestic violence between men and women appears to be trying to eclipse chivalry. Misunderstanding, lack of communication and lack of control over emotions often lead to this happening.

It is no secret, society has become more accepting of the homosexual lifestyle. It is a person's choice who they sleep with. Everyone has to answer to GOD for whatever sin they indulge in, so no sin is greater than the other. I'm not here to judge, and I'm not homophobic, however I firmly believe in a man for a woman and a woman for a man. I respect those who choose differently as long as they respect my belief.
I got to be honest, this influence is seeping into the youth heavily and I see it on a daily basis working in the education field. They are already dealing with peer pressure when it comes to smoking weed, popping  ecstasy pills, fighting, not taking their studies seriously, and now the added dimension of being confused with their sexuality.These are just some of the many factors contributing to the destruction of the family structure.

The bible says in Romans 12:2, " Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is , his good, pleasing and perfect will."


Poetic Thought:

Don't go with the trend to fit in,
Good morals are free, the cost is expensive for sin,
Search deep within your heart and mind,
Pay attention to the sign of the times,
Pray for eternal life in these last days,
Embrace the truth, instead of accepting this conformity craze! ~ JD

I am a huge fan of Marvin Gaye. His music is timeless! His song Inner City Blues (Makes me wanna Holler) is among one of my favorites. It was recorded before I was born but it holds true for today's time. Here is a particular line that stands out in the song:

"Crime is increasing,
  Trigger happy policing,
  Panic is spreading,
  GOD knows where we're heading"

These lyrics speak volumes from 40 years ago until now. Pay attention people. Until next time, class dismiss!!!
