  • people pleasing – know the balance

    The other day I was struck by these two verses. Galatians 1:10 ‘For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 10:33 “just as I try to…
