Don’t Compromise Your Witness

Genesis 19:14 ~So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, “Get up, get out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city!” But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking.

When you attempt to live both for God and the world, you resemble that poor, confused soldier in the Civil War who couldn’t decide what side he wanted to fight for. So he wore the coat from the Union and the pants from the Confederates. Then he marched onto the battlefield and got shot at from both sides. If you attempt to live in both worlds, you will end up living a miserable life.

There was no power in Lot’s witness, because he lived a compromised life.

Is that happening to you? Are you getting weaker and weaker spiritually? Do the things that once made you blush no longer shock you? Do you find yourself becoming more and more tolerant of that which is evil and less interested in that which is spiritual? Do you find that your words seem to have no effect on the nonbelievers you share them with?

Such is the peril of the compromiser. They don’t pull others up. Others pull them down.

Be the Blessing
