Do the saintly thing regardless of the attitude of your peers.
Because of peer pressure, many they are who have turned away from doing the Godly thing.
They desired the acceptance of their friends more than doing that which was pleasing in the Eyes of the Lord.
This is especially true of children, but it is also inground into the hearts and minds of grownups.
This inability to listen to The Voice of God and do it, is based on the false idea that in a multitude of counselors there is safety.
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Do you check with your friends before you do something and your friends with you?
The blind leading the blind.
The only safe counsel is the counsel the Lord gives you.
