Compromised Christianity

Last night I had a very long conversation with one of the guys in the church I attend.  He started off on the Hilary-Trump, what a bunch of loonies, argument.  Yeah, I honestly do not know anyone whom is actually voting for someone - everyone is voting against people!  So you vote for Hilary, no matter your actual feelings concerning her politics and past, because you do not want Trump in office!  Admittedly, I have often voted against people, choosing the lesser of the evils.  This time there is no lesser ...

It was quite a balanced and lively discussion.  LOL :)

And shortly, you as a Christian, will be asked to compromise you Christian faith to put into power a candidate with a solid non-Christian track!  There are no lesser choices this time, you will be to choose between slime - slime - and - slime!

Sigh ...

Which brought to mind Revelation 2:12-17, a church with compromised believers.

Surrender
You will experience struggles, major and minor.
They must be surrendered to God, in complete faith.
Only then will you be freed from what you face.

Consider Colossians 3:5

 Stay True
You have access to a Bible, God's written word to you.
You have to read it, not about it!
You need to know what it says!
Do not place your desire above God's Word!

Consider:
2 Timothy 3:16-17
Psalms 119:105
2 Peter 1:3

Integrity
The key word of your Christian walk in good times, or bad.
Remember you can fool yourself
You can fool for fellow mankind
But, no one can fool God!
God knows your heart and motivations!

Consider Hebrews 4:13

The Christian Church is failing because wolves have completely taken over the Church!  From false prophets and pastors in our churches to a complete lack of discernment amongst the members of the faith!
The rot is complete from top to bottom!
Trapped sporadically throughout the body are the faithful, growing rarer it seems.

Know your Bible, stick as close to what it tells you as you can.
Separate yourself from the influences of the world as possible!
And watch out for those quiet little idols in your life ....
