Don't attempt to fit in!
When we are able to think for ourselves, guided by the Holy Spirit it is virtually impossible to be manipulated by controllers, whose only objective is to mold you into their shape while using you as a puppet for their purposes.
Our culture has the tendency to mock and demean anyone who does not do what the crowd thinks is right, this is not only in the world but it is also in the churches.
The crowd is almost always wrong, it is based on personal gratification and acceptance, rather than truth, while thinking with only one mind rather than all the minds working together to find truth.
Don't let people shape you into their mold based on cultural fads. Let the Holy Spirit, the Potter, shape our clay into His image, He is perfect and knows exactly what is needed for each of us.
Isaiah 64:8 "But now, O LORD, You are our Father, We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand."
Do you want to be a cultural puppet dancing to the tune of the crowd? Or would you rather be a free thinker, free to think with the mind of Christ the perfecter of our faith?
In the culture there is bondage to the ways of man, in Christ there is freedom to pursue truth and wisdom.
Hebrews 12:2 "fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
