A flaw in someone’s character is an undesirable quality that he or she has. Unfortunately, for all of us on this planet this is a reality we face, and it can be a nuisance. Some of us have more flaws than others, but all of us have flaws.
One of the defects of the apostle Peter was kowtowing to peer pressure. The apostle Paul had to confront him about this serious matter in Galatians.
Galatians 2:11-13
Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed; for before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
Hypocrisy and prejudice have to be dealt with if the church is to attain all the blessings that God has in store for it. In all of our lives, self-examination must take place, confession has to be made, and change has to be instituted.
Think about it.
