God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The “fear of man” goes by other names. When we are in our teens, it is called “peer pressure.” When we are older, it is called “people-pleasing.” Recently, it has been called “codependency.” With these labels in mind, we can spot the fear of man everywhere.
