Book Cover & Preview Text
Let me just begin by saying we learn to trust in a lot of different things for a lot of different reasons in our lives. We trust in what we see , what we know or even what we believe. As Christians once we have made that choice and have a made up mind, that type of faith should be well rooted and leaves no reason to doubt or not stand on the foundation of the one whom you have the root in. In other words the power to stand and be committed comes from the one whom you trust and have faith in that root. One standard has been accepted and satisfied. There is no room for challenge , ideas , or additions. The foundation is complete in Jesus Christ.
Therefore, the only ones who would seek another way are those whose foundation is not stable or satisfied. Compromising is what they use to challenge or change what they either don't understand or will not accept. Of course we are referring to the spiritual realities that make a different as far as understanding the purpose of uncompromising circumstances. Christians are suppose to hold fast to every word that precedes forth out of the mouth of God whether we understand it or not. Unfortunately, many Christians are weak in this area. Their interpretation of compromising seems to have another purpose involving a judgment call that overrides the word of God and perceives the situation different as to giving compromising power over the word of God as seeming to be used to keep the peace. There is no peace outside of the word of God. It may seem to be a sacrifice but is clearly disobedience to the word of God. Many Christians are so involved in situations emotionally that they are drawn into the use of compromising as they say will help bring together others. But on the other hand scripture teach us " can two walk together except they agree". (Amos 3:3) Spiritual compromising is not for Christians because thats the way we live, spiritually. Not compromising. Spiritual compromising does not mean bringing two standards together because there is only one right and Godly way, Jesus. (John 14:6)

About the Book
Compromising has always been a common practice to all of us even before we became believers. It had become apart of the way we lived or was taught. There was never a question of whether we should practice compromising or not. It was considered necessary if you were going to negotiate in a situation or consider a deal with another person. It was the mutual thing to do. In this book we examine compromise for all its worth briefly. Regardless of the definition that you give it, there is a missing truth about it that we might be overlooking. Not a question of right or wrong for many of us but a cause and effect on our life. Compromising is not acceptable to people of faith even though we have good intentions. Because we are a people of faith we have only one example of how to handle situations based on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And that’s with prayer and Christian principals. We have no room for including another standard only the righteousness of God. “God gave us a Covenant not a Compromise”.
