The deceit of compromise week 25, 2012

Lowering your standard to do something crooked amounts to abandoning God… “Don’t you dare accuse me of abandoning God! What glory is it to Him that I go hungry and my children are uncared for? How can I introduce them to God if they are deprived of basic necessities? Do you imagine they can listen to that type of gospel? God knows I am not leaving Him. He understands my predicament.For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust Ps 103:14(ESV). I must make hay while the sun shines: making the best use of the time, because the days are evil Eph 5:16(ESV). ” Please don’t abuse your privileges. “No. In a few weeks I shall no longer have this opportunity to help myself and others. Have you forgotten that if a man provide not for his own he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever?” But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever 1Tm 5:8(ESV).
How Satan will quote scripture for you just to justify evil! This thing is wrong. Should you die doing it be rest assured you will face judgement. Don't let anyone deceive you with meaningless words. It is because of sins like these that God's anger comes to those who refuse to obey him Eph 5:6(GW). Compromising Christian standards in hope of financial security is great loss. Do you want to risk your salvation for mere pittance? “Pittance, you call it pittance? This will secure my children’s welfare, not to talk about the different launchings you invite me for.” I hear you. Have you never read Dt 23:18(ESV): You shall not bring the fee of a prostitute or the wages of a dog into the house of the LORD your God in payment for any vow, for both of these are an abomination to the LORD your God. Make no mistake about it: money obtained in such a manner is not only disgraceful but completely unacceptable to God, no matter who receives it from your hand. Your children may die and you will have compromised for nothing. Indeed when you have collected the money your soul might suddenly be required of you. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.' But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?'Lk 12:19(ESV). “I see you hate me...” Have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth? Have you considered this is a trap for you? Satan is setting a trap for you; you must resist him. You are a father: lead by example.
