I know some of you have heard this in a recent sermon, but it’s on my heart and bears repeating.
Compromise. Sounds so good doesn’t it! A compromise to bring peace. But at what cost? What is compromised in the process?
Think about it. If someone were to lay down new carpet in your living room and compromised 6 inches of carpet, would you be mad? Which end of the room do you choose to have compromised? Would you want your kids teachers to compromise your child’s education. Let’s just skip math this year.
Of course my biggest pet peeve is Christians wanting to compromise the Bible. Oh, let’s skip the virgin birth. We don’t really need Jesus raised from the dead. He was a good guy anyway. How about the truth when it comes to marriage and who marriage is designed for by God. Unfortunately these are things I have seen up close and personal in Christians compromising the Bible.
Here’s what I asked the congregation a few weeks ago. Would you want God to compromise your place in God’s plan of salvation for you? Like a divorce settlement for the kids. Hey devil you get Mark most of eternity, but I will take him for two weeks every summer.
Thank God, literally, that God is a God of promises and not compromises. I appreciate that my salvation will not be compromised. And I vow to not compromise on God’s Word. It is the Truth – no compromises!
