The Trap of Applause
John 12:43 — “For they loved human praise more than praise from God.”
The Trap of Applause
Applause is addictive.
But eternal approval will never come from temporary crowds.
Too many are building platforms that God never planted.
Saying what gets shared — not what sets free.
Performing holiness — not practicing surrender.
Jesus lost followers every time He told the truth.
So why are we still chasing likes?
If your message never convicts, maybe it wasn’t sent.
If your faith never costs you something, it’s not Christ’s version.
Heaven’s applause is quiet, but it carries weight.
The world’s praise is loud — but it doesn’t last.
🔥 Reflection Prompt:
