“If the Godly compromise with the wicked, it is like polluting a
fountain or muddying a spring.”

Proverbs 25:26 (NLT)

APRIL 18 - Let’s take a quick look at an incredible illustration from nature — the penguin. Traveling many miles from their natural habitat (the ocean), the emperor penguin breeds at specific, often desolate, dangerously icy sites, laying and caring for their eggs in the world’s most inhospitable region. Not even 80° below zero temperatures cause these birds to quit. No, they never turn back; they have decided to give no place to compromise.

We must become people of principle. No matter what situation arises, we must never compromise our integrity for anyone, ever. Why is that? Because we have to live with our actions every night when we go home, gazing at ourselves before the mirror every day. We cannot afford to commit ourselves partially to anything. For the most part, principled people do not always feel like doing the things that they must do. Even so, they act by examining the long-term results of every one of their decisions.

If we compromise our principles, we abandon our fortified base and find ourselves behind enemy lines—without weapons, armor, or communication. It is a task that the Commander-in-Chief of Heaven’s Armed Forces never appointed to us. Compromise is strictly forbidden in His army. Those who do so are captured by the enemy and forced to defect. Divine rescue missions are rarely successful, and those who compromise
are often gone for good. Keep a close watch on yourself and on your service to the King. Although you may find yourself in the most inhospitable region, like the penguin, never allow yourself to compromise your principles for anyone, anywhere, for any reason. It would be a terrible day to be tried for treason by the King of kings.

Daily Confession

Father, I refuse to compromise. I live by Your Word and am guided by Your statutes and commands. I understand failure waits for those who compromise, but I win because I  choose a principled life.

Sculpting Your True identity - CD

It took Michelangelo six years to carve one of his greatest works, the magnificent statue of King David. When asked why his masterpiece took so long, his reply was simple: “Once I found a slab of marble that I could see David in, all that was left was to chip away everything that was not David.”

You are God’s masterpiece. God placed something great within you that no man can take away, no circumstance can assail, and no words can destroy. The key to unveiling your true potential lies in learning how to chip away everything that is not a part of who God called you to be. Join Dr. Robb Thompson as he shows you how to become God’s masterpiece – whole, polished, and created anew in Christ Jesus!

“The thorny ground represents those who hear and accept the good news,
but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares of this life
and the lure of wealth, so no crop is produced.”
Matthew 13:22 (NLT)

FEBRUARY 5 - “Gas prices skyrocket! Shocking new terrorist plots! Illegal drugs cause an upsurge in crime! Supermarket produce tainted with deadly bacteria!” Today’s global headlines could make even the tiniest sparrows stop flying and start worrying. But the Bible tells us that worry chokes the Word of God, congesting our lives like strangling traffic jams, making it of no effect. Can you imagine that? Worry actually stops God’s Word from working inside your life. We must understand that worry is not something with which to toy or take lightly.

Our every worry is the proof that God-honoring faith is sorely absent! You cannot worry and walk in faith at the same time. The moment faith boldly enters the room is the moment worry must fearfully exit. Whenever we worry, we factually document that we don’t truly believe what God said. Remember — God’s greatest pleasure is to be believed, and His greatest disappointment is to be doubted. So what does our worry say about our faith in God?

Although we may get excited about the principles taught to us on Sunday, we must refuse worry on Monday to see God’s Word manifest in our lives. Never forget: when worry fretfully and nervously knocks at your door, you must allow the Word of God to valiantly answer! Then, worry will flee in stark terror like an enemy exposed.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I walk by faith and not by sight. I refuse to look at my circumstances knowing that whatever I focus on will multiply. I will have Jesus answer the door when worry comes knocking. I stand on Your Word and I refuse to allow worry to enter my life.
