Galatians 1:10 "Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ."
Not saying that the two are mutually exclusive but a lot of the time there's a distinct choice, serve God or love this world. So often, we live based upon the opinions of others. Back in high school, I never prayed at lunch because I was scared of what others would say or think. In an attempt to avoid conflict and remain comfortable, I pushed God out. How often do we push God out to uphold an image? Is it worth it? How often do we do things or say things that we know do not please the Lord and yet we do them anyway because they make us feel good or give us face in the presence of others? Is another person's opinion or some feel good story worth more than God's opinion?
