I have noticed the trend of believe of many people, most people will rather follow the multitude in their thinking and pattern of living rather than be focused on what God has said in the bible. People generally term those who can stand alone "anti-social" or "unpopular".

Don't be afraid of people of people because they have wealth or power, fear only the Lord your God who not only has the power to give wealth and power but can also give and take life. The bible has something interesting to say about this:

In Isaiah 8: 11, "The Lord has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does" (NLT)

All human beings has the ability to think and reason in their own way. We all have our independent mind especially when it comes to the things of God. The bible is the general guardian for all human who wants to be sure of what God has said pertaining to a particular issue.
