Peer Pressure

As an adult, peer pressure rears its ugly head when you see your neighbor mow his lawn. It amazes me that as we grow older the influence of others takes on a new paradigm. We never seem to be able to resist the pull of our circumstances which causes us to act in a way that is uncomfortable.

Does the Bible address this phenomenon? Glad you asked.

Romans 12:2 

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Galatians 1:10 

For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Give it some thought and never mind the grass.
