Dear Victorious,
Do you think it's possible for true Christians to be popular without compromising their faith? It always seems that the most popular people are the ones that look like the hypocrites.

Dear Eve,
I think we need to agree on the definition of popular. The short answer to your question is yes. But the definition of popular is probably going to be the big if here. If people are truly Christlike, then they will definitely be attractive to others. Look how many people followed Jesus when He walked the earth in human form. He was as godly as anyone could be, and yet thousands wanted to be with him, hear him, sit in his audience, serve him, etc.
The fact that not everyone likes someone does not mean they are not popular. Let's not look for popularity. Rather let us look for someone who is so attractive in their character and authenticity that others are drawn to them. That is when popular and virtuous will meet.
