No Compromise

“Think of a time in your life when you compromised just to fit in. What was the result?” This thoughtful question was posed by Max Lucado in the Bible study I’m currently doing on the Book of Revelation. I recalled the disastrous choices I made in High School and College before I became a Christian. I can’t go back and change the past. It’s been forgiven. What about you? Any time we compromise our own moral code of conduct, it will leave us feeling shame, uneasiness, and regret.

Saints, what if we weaken our ability to share the joy of walking with Jesus because we compromise our godly conduct to be accepted by our peers? Lord, help us when we fear being godly in the presence of the ungodly.
