I have an aversion to popularity, it generally means giving up our personality, our principles and our devotion to the things of God merely for our fifteen minutes of fame in the clique.
Godly friends hold one another in high regard no matter who our brothers and sisters are, no matter how high position or how lowly one. We are all loved by God and equal in His eyes.
Popularity means someone must be higher and better than others. In God's economy we are loved and we love one another, everyone of our brothers and sisters equally.
John 13:35 "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
1 Thessalonians 2:8
"We cared so deeply that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our own lives as well. That is how beloved you have become to us."
1 John 3:13-15 "…13 So do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death. 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer.…"
Romans 12:10
"Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another."
