Compromise

There is much compromise in the world even among "Christians" '
Many will compromise God's standards for their own, for money,for fame, for a position, for selfishness, for friendship, for marriage

We underestimate the impact upon our spiritual lives of compromising with the world. Are you compromising with worldliness? What is worldliness?
An Adopting of the ways,standards
and views of the world. Worldly wisdom is opposed to God's wisdom.
Worldliness is of the flesh. It is living in a way opposed to God.
Worldliness is Satan's influence to lead us away from God and the paths of righteousness.

Psalms - Chapter 1
1Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
