Beware of the Vaccine of Compromise
Show Notes

The world is telling us how to think and what we should believe. They are dictating to us what is right or wrong. They tell us to be politically correct. They say we can’t have opinions containing certain subjects or issues that would be contrary to their opinions on those subjects or issues. This is “herd mentality” – a global mindset - a global brainwashing if you please.

The world is trying to impose or command us to believe their way. This isn’t anything new as it existed under a king in the days of Daniel the prophet. There are many voices speaking right now but not all are truthful. What voice will you accept to believe? Will you yield to the voice of a lie or yield to the voice of truth?

1 Corinthians 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Will you be injected with the vaccine of compromise or will you stand for what you believe? I saw the following post online by someone and thought it appropriate for this hour. “If you are silent about your beliefs because you are worried someone will be offended, then your beliefs are not that important to you, but rather what people think about you is. When you stand up for what’s right and true, you will receive both hate and love, but everyone will know what you are fighting for.”

 The great preacher and martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer who gave his life for speaking the truth said during Hitler’s reign of terror the following:

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”

Martin Luther King said,

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

 “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

Let us not be injected with the vaccine of compromise! Let us speak up and speak out what we know to be absolute truth that has been established in God’s word! Don’t allow your voice to be silenced! This sermon will reveal the bravery and courage of three teenagers who loved God more than anything else!
