EXODUS 23:2
What if it’s wrong? What if it’s destructive? What if it would cost you your life?
What did He do for you? ◦ In the Garden? ◦ He was scourged. ◦ He was crucified. ◦ He was forsaken by God. ◦ He endured humiliation. You owe Him!
Most talk about peer pressure is negative. ◦ Proverbs 1:20-19 ◦ Are they trying to help you spiritually? Are they trying to get you to heaven? ◦ Rebellion ◦ Drinking ◦ Drugs ◦ Sex? Only One can give you salvation.
Is that too harsh? Just suppose: ◦ They entice you to do drugs ◦ What if you get hooked. ◦ Does that destroy or improve your life? What is the end result of sin?
Negative peer pressure is an attempt to get you to conform. ◦ It is always conformation to a lower standard. If that is not an attempt to destroy you, what is it?
