I am irritated by people who think fads are chic.

I admire people who know how to pick and chose from various styles to dress in the manner most complimentary to their person and image. I enjoy being with people who know and enjoy good food. I like the company of folks who enjoy a wide variety of music and entertainment.

Having friends who know their own mind and are thoughtfully comfortable in their persuasions is a blessing of immeasurable value. They are not given to fads.

I am irritated by people who think fads are chic. I’m especially irked by those folks who pursue fads in spirituality, theological issues and worship styles.

People who are fad-driven have a very weak or non-existent sense of self. Their identity is available to whatever it will take to attract the approval of whomever they deem important.

There are scriptures which speak particularly to this state of mind -

• “God has not given you to a spirit of fear or timidity…”
• “Come, let us reason together, though our sins be as scarlet…”
• “I am determined to know nothing among you other than Jesus Christ…”
• “That which is born of the flesh is flesh…”
