In doing some reading and research for this week's message from Mark 8:10-13, I ran across this timely quote in David Garland's NIV Application Commentary (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1996), 315.
"Outsiders and insiders can exert enormous pressure on ministers and churches to conform to their false expectations and to coddle their self-indulgent fantasies. To resist this pressure and remain obedient to God requires a clear vision of God’s will, unwavering dedication, and constant prayer."
