TO BE TRUE, NOT POPULAR
Luke 6:26 (LASB NIV - Bible Text)
26 Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.
Luke 6:26 (MSG)
26 "There's trouble ahead when you live only for the approval of others, saying what flatters them, doing what indulges them. Popularity contests are not truth contests—look how many scoundrel preachers were approved by your ancestors! Your task is to be true, not popular.
LASB NIV - Notes :
Many false prophets lived during Old Testament times. They were praised by kings and crowds because their predictions—prosperity and victory in war—were exactly what the people wanted to hear. But popularity is no guarantee of truth, and human flattery does not bring God’s approval. Sadness lies ahead for those who chase after the crowd’s praise rather than God’s truth.
