Little Foxes

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ. I want to talk today about compromise.

I see today in a lot of churches a prevailing spirit of

compromise where the members are willing to tolerate

some "small" sin in order to appease everyone.

My friends, this is a disaster waiting to happen.

Remember that Jesus said that the enemy comes

not but to steal, kill, and destroy. If the enemy is

willing to offer a compromise to you or your church,

it is only because he doesn't think that he can win.

And if we stand strong in Christ, he can't win against us.

But he is aware that he can get us to tolerate sinful things

in our midst, it weakens us. Then, when the enemy

believes that we are no longer strong enough to fight him,

he won't want to compromise anymore, he will come

to kill.

So then we shouldn’t think that we must give in when

the devil offers us a compromise, because it is then that

we have the power to put a stop to his advance. We

need not tolerate any sin in our churches. If we stand

up to it when it first comes in, only then will we will be

able to safeguard the souls of the congregation.

Remember what Jesus said about the little foxes.

Watch carefully and let nothing come between your

soul and the Savior. Grace and peace be to you. Amen.
