In 1 Chronicles 12:32, we read of \u201d \u2026 men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do \u2026 \u201c<\/strong> In Hebrews 5:14, we read of \u201d \u2026 them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that the church could use a goodly number of just such folks today. Compromise has dulled the senses of pastors and people alike to the extent that \u201cfundamentalists\u201d see no harm in working with \u201cmodernists\u201d -just as long as it is for the purpose of \u201cwinning souls to Christ.\u201d We see the sad spectacle of those who once held and taught sound doctrine now working and fellowshipping with cults, and urging that they be given a \u201cstanding\u201d in the fellowship of believers. We see churches where once the Word of God was taught now given over mainly to social activities and religious projects. We see the church, once separated from the world, now engrossed in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But most tragic of all perhaps is the loss of spiritual discernment which makes folks content to disobey God\u2019s Word- and then try to \u201ctwist the Scriptures\u201d to justify their ungodly conduct. It is indeed heartbreaking to see pastors, evangelists, missionaries, and church members in the midst of such compromise that apparently can no longer \u201ctell the difference between truth and error.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May God deliver us from such a position and give us so much love for His Word that we will \u201c\u2026 meditate therein day and night\u2026 \u201d (Joshua 1:8) and willingly obey it, exercising discernment and warning others of the dangers of compromise.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
