Most people love to hear people say good things about them. With varying degrees of craving, some people find it difficult to cope with adulation, while others want it as if it’s the blood that flows in their veins. I once heard the testimony of a married christian woman who sat beside a guy in the aircraft on one of her trips. They had never met before, but the sweet words of this guy to the woman were so desired by her that she got carried away, and upon landing, she found herself in his bed in the hotel. While it’s a good thing to commend anyone who does well, and it is occasionally kind to compliment someone who looks good, where the line is drawn can become very important, especially for christians, so God’s children do not slip into sin for the sake of flattery words.

 

A child of God must know his or her worth, and not go all out seeking praises from people, because the mouths which sing ‘hosannah’ today can scream ‘crucify him’ tomorrow.
