Law enforcement officers will handle many calls involving civil, business or domestic disputes oftentimes, solving the problem with only a temporary mutual compromise. But did you know the bible talks about the results of a believer compromising their walk with Christ? Check this out:

|
- If the godly compromise with the wicked, it is like polluting a fountain or muddying a spring. Proverbs 25:26(NLT)

|
- Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong. Hebrews 5:14(NLT)

- See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction.

Deuteronomy 30:15-16(NIV)
|
- Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” Genesis 3:1(NIV)

- So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming. You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. Colossians 3:5-8(NLT)
|
- I say this because many deceivers have gone out into the world. They deny that Jesus Christ came in a real body. Such a person is a deceiver and an antichrist. Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked so hard to achieve. Be diligent so that you receive your full reward. Anyone who wanders away from this teaching has no relationship with God. But anyone who remains in the teaching of Christ has a relationship with both the Father and the Son. 2 John 1:7-9(NLT)
|
- “If you love me, obey my commandments. John 14:15(NLT)
|
- But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God… John 1:12 (ESV)
