A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes he has the biggest piece.
- Ludwig Erhard
Compromise used to mean that half a loaf was better than no bread.
Among modern statesmen it really seems to mean that half a loaf;
is better than a whole loaf.
- Gilbert K. Chesterton
Compromising in the faith is a place that some of us go to because deception has crept in and succeeded in convincing us that we are either missing out on something or somehow, we can master the act of putting both feet in and out of the world and it's fleshly desires.
Very scary because at some point, not only do you lose your witness and the salvation of sinners into the kingdom of God but also you now look just like the person next door. One can no longer tell the difference between a sanctified Christian (saved by grace) and a non-Christian (that is searching for the truth).
It's all about choices people. What decisions do we and will we make that doesn't grieve the Holy Spirit? Will you decide to be different and stand apart from the dust of sin and it's nature? When it's all said and done, which master have you really been serving? You can't serve both.....so choose this day who you will serve..
Lord, let our lives be pleasing to you as we repent ..Amen!
