Pressure Points: Image

Given the choice, and if price and quality were identical, would you choose a no-name brand or a designer brand? Have you ever been influenced by a claim that you would look or feel better or be more popular if you had a particular item? What about traveling long distances just to get the right kind of toy for your child? Or doing your best to emulate or beat the success of a brother or sister? The desire to measure up to a standard that we view as acceptable or better is the root of many struggles today. The pressure to conform to certain images can even cause serious damage to one’s self esteem. This Sunday we’ll look at what the Bible says about these societal pressures and see if there is another way to live our lives.
