Following the crowd, latest fad or trend are familiar ideas.
What is our leadership all about? Do we seek to fit in with what appears to be the latest and greatest?
When we lift up the Light of the world, we should stand out in a world of darkness.
Why is it important when it seems easier to follow the crowd?
Following the majority can have great consequences. Jesus teaches this principle in the Sermon on the Mount.
Our path is a matter of choice. The choices we make influence others. If it helps others get to heaven, then standing out in or from the crowd is worth it.
