Well this has nothing to do with Star Wars, and it’s not another rant about the ethical issues surrounding cloning of human beings either. This is about another kind of ‘war.’It’s a war fought on a different battlefield; it’s a battle for the minds and hearts of another generation of our young ones.
It’s been said more than once that “many are born originals, but die a copy!”Many, in trying to become different from their forefathers, end up submitting to the pressure of their peers to fit in. In so doing, they give up their right to be unique; they forfeit their future potential for greatness for a place alongside mediocrity.
“Fit in or fall out,” their masters cry. “Join in or get beat up!”Getting accepted to the “in-crowd,” you lose your identity.
Yet in the midst of this cacophony of competing cries, there is a voice in the wilderness that can set you free:
“For you are God’s masterpiece. He created you anew in Christ Jesus, so that you can do the good things he planned for you long ago.” (Ephesians 2:10)
