It can be intoxicating to receive praise from others. It feels good to be praised by others. Yet, to be accepted among men often requires forsaking your Christian walk for a worldly one.

Our actions speak louder than our words. Will we seek God, even when it comes at the expense of acceptance and popularity among men?

John 12:42-43 KJV

42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
