Christians are all encouraged to live in peace with everyone (Hebrews 12:14). When we serve GOD and walk in HIS ways, we are in total contrast to what the world is teaching. Sadly, we sometimes tend to do whatever it takes to win the approval of others to the point of compromising biblical truths and the Gospel. But Christians are reminded that we must above all please GOD and do what is pleasing to HIM. As the Apostle Paul says: 'Am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of CHRIST.' (Galatians1:10). King Herod had the early Christians arrested. He had James, the brother of John, put to death and when he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also (Acts 12:1-3).
