This year I'm doing a small group for RUF that is reading through the book When People Are Big and God is Small. Could they have picked a more practically applicable and convicting book for my life right now?! Seriously, it's an interesting book that I would recommend to anyone whether they think they struggle with peer pressure or not.
Like many I was kinda thinking that this book addressed topics that are for insecure middle schoolers. This guy has brought to light many areas of my life where I don't even realize that I struggle with peer pressure.
His main point of the book is that too much of the time we have a needless fear of man which develops into a need for people. That's the big problem is that we need people for ourselves more than we love them. The aim of his book is to show us how to need people less and love them more. And the best treatment for the fear of man is having a fear of the Lord.
Way easier said than done, but if nothing else I'm beginning to grasp how much I let my life be controlled by my fear of man rather than the fear of the Lord.
