LUKE 23:23

 But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that He be crucified, and their shouts prevailed. - Luke 23:23

The Jordan verse!  My mom used to say, "Just because they are crying doesn't mean something bad is happening."

So true.  Whenever someone complains I like to look at the source.  Is this coming from someone who I need to respect their opinion?  Is there some truth to what they are saying?  Is this just something I need to dismiss and move on?

As a guy who spends way too much of his life worrying about what other people say (I'm getting better), this story hits home.  And it reminds me, encourages me, that when we do things just because people are "shouting" or "demanding" it's probably not a great idea!
