If you’ve ever been called a people pleaser, you might actually be in good company: Paul’s. His total willingness to go with the flow and do what others do is so that he can bring them into a sense of community, not so that he can avoid conflict. He is very concerned with doing what is necessary to win others to Christ, not maintain even his own sense of identity. Perhaps that is because his identity is totally grounded in Christ, and he needs no other.
