2\u00a0Corinthians 6:17<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Therefore come out from them and be separate,\u2019 says the Lord. \u2018Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do believers compromise God\u2019s commands? What justification do we have in living more like the world than like those who have been born anew? What are we going to say to the Lord when He asks us why we neglected His holiness? The sad thing about compromise is that those who do the compromising usually try to justify their actions. \u00a0<\/p>\n

We have an example of this in Exodus 32. Moses was on the Mountain receiving the Law. He had been gone over a month when the people began to question whether he had perished and if he would ever return. In spite of all of the miracles they had experienced, they still lacked the faith to trust God.<\/p>\n

With very little persuasion, Aaron took gold from the people and fashioned a golden calf for them\u00a0to worship. Aaron compromised the absolute truth of God\u2019s plan for His people and tried to justify his actions by saying that it was done to lead the people in worshiping the Lord.<\/p>\n

Sunday was Super Bowl Sunday. There was a lot of hype leading up to the day, which should have had little impact for dedicated Christians. It came as an electric shock to me when I heard that one congregation had cancelled their evening service in order to install a large screen TV and show the game in the church. \u00a0<\/p>\n

My prayer is that God will make me more sensitive to my spiritual need. I want Him to make me aware when I am in danger of compromise. It is my desire to hold firm to the standards established in His Word and refuse to drift into compromise. I invite you to join me in that prayer.<\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!<\/p>\n
