No Compromise

I have refused to walk on any evil path, so that I may remain obedient to your word. Psalm 119:101 NLT

Following Christ and growing strong is exercising the freedom to trust in Him and obey His commands. When a soldier submits to the authority of his commanding officer, he obeys what that officer tells him to do. If a patient submits to a doctor’s treatment, she follows the instructions. If a football player submits to the direction of his coach, he abides by the coach’s plan. When we submit ourselves to the Savior, we obey what He tells us to do because we know His way is right. How many problems could be avoided if God’s people would obey His Word? The Bible gives us principles that will guide our lives. God’s Word isn’t to be debated or dissected; it is to be done. God also leads by His Holy Spirit. Sometimes we struggle to know what is right. Many times it’s because we don’t want to give up something we know we should walk away from. But through prayer, asking God to give us strength, He will enable us to make the hard decisions, and we will find that the joy of obeying Christ fills the void. When we take a stand for Christ, we may be forsaken by friends, but we must never compromise our faith. The Bible tells us that we should influence others toward God (Jeremiah 15:19).
