We are all worshipers, and whatever we worship we rely upon and serve. For many men, success is the god they worship and serve. For others, it is fame or pleasure. Women often worship beauty or falling in love. Whatever it is, we worship it because we think it will make our lives work. It will secure us against a hostile world, it will give us satisfaction – in short, it will be our Savior. Thus, when an idolater says, “I love you, “what he means is, “You are a means for getting what I want. You are serving my needs and securing my hopes (Richard and Sharon Phillips).

Peer Pressure

Peer Pressure

PEER PRESSURE Submit to pressure from peers

and you move
down to their

level.

Speak up
for your own

beliefs
and you invite
them up to your

level.

If you move
with the crowd,
you’ll get
no further than
the crowd.

When 40 million
people believe in
a dumb idea,
It’s still a
dumb idea.

Simply swimming
with the tide leaves you no where. So if you believe in something

that’s good,
honest and bright,
Stand up for it.

Maybe your peers
will get smart
and drift.
