The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe. - Prov. 29:25Rod dealt with this theme in his sermon this past Sunday. He mentioned a book, and I wanted to second that recommendation. When People are Big and God is Small: Overcoming peer pressure, co-dependency and the fear of man, by Ed Welch is a great help in the fight against fearing people. Or, to say it another way, it helps in the fight against desiring the approval of others more than the approval of God.
Another helpful book on this topic is People Pleasing: How not to be an approval junkie, by Lou Priolo.
