The Disease To Please – Sunday Mind Dump
John 12:43 “…they loved praise from men more than praise from God.”
- This is what is all boils down to.
- People-pleasing is idolatry
Prov. 29:25 “Fear of man [is] a snare…”
Trap #1: The “I will COMPROMISE for you” trap
- Do the right thing… do not fear the results of doing what is right.
Trap #2: Saying yes to the wrong things so you don’t have time/resources to say yes to God.
Trap #3: The “I will let you limit my success” trap
Solution…
- The fear of God is the best antidote for the fear of man
- Psalm 34:9. “…those who fear him lack nothing.”
- Live to please God, not ANYONE ELSE.
