Subject: Why does Jeremiah think he was deceived? |
Bible Note: I agree, it almost like "do you please God rather than men" all over again.. :-) I've dealt with peer pressure throughout my life as well, being as outgoing as I am, and its the same thing - will we take a stand for Christ, or will we fold under the pressure? Jeremiah was definitely feeling the pressure, and praise the Lord that he didn't "fold"! :-) |
