“At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”
The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her. So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison…” Mark 6:25-27 NIV (emphasis mine)
My thoughts: Peer pressure is powerful. Don’t be ruled by it! Always do what you know is right.

And we should take a look at those we feel pressured by and ask ourselves, “Why do I want to be like them?”
