A word to the wise about compromise...

It is not wise to compromise

when you trade

the truth of God’s Word

for a world full of lies.


Yeah, I know,

we are called to live in it,

but we are also called to stand out,

be set apart, not just comfortably fit.


It takes bravery

to go against the grain

and perseverance in the times

we feel like we’re going insane.


Since when has

being proud of sin

become our go to response

in hopes not to offend?


Christians, God’s standard

is sweetened by His grace,

and to continue in sin,

is like spitting in His face


Mocking the one

who went to the cross,

He paid the penalty for our sins,

our gain was His loss.


This isn’t some game

where we’re keeping the score.

Wear your mask and shut up

because those that do love more.


This is a matter

of life and death,

not just physical, but eternal,

beyond our last breath.


It’s spiritual, folks.

We must open our eyes.

The enemy’s at work

with all this compromise.


We’re confused and hurt

and we’re losing our minds.

But God is still God,

complete and divine.


We can tiptoe around words

trying to be politically correct,

Or we can open the Word,

and receive a Word we must never forget,

never neglect,

and will never ever regret.


When we compromise,

we perpetuate lies,

staying hidden in disguise,

while others chastise,

and please hear me when I say,

this is not wise,

it will lead to our demise.


It’s dangerous.

It’s deadly.

It’s time to stop

the insanity.


It is not wise to compromise

when you trade

the truth of God’s Word

for a world full of lies.
