No Compromise! The Lesson of Solomon

We Christians must be ever vigilant not to compromise our faith or the truth of the Bible.

There is something to learn about this by reading the account of Solomon's life in the Old Testament.
He was blessed by God with wisdom,power and riches unlike any other man yet strayed from His instruction by marrying foreign women which led him into idolatry and ultimately punishment by God (in the comments section below I provide an interesting link regarding Solomon's sin).
I am sure Solomon did not initially believe his disobedience to one of God's commands would ultimately take him so far from God's Grace and blessings.

Like Solomon, when we first rationalize and compromise our faith by sinning, it becomes successively easier to do so. Satan sees our weakness and is only too happy to send more temptation our way. Before you know it, you don't even recognize your acceptance of sin, you simply explain it away.

Compromising your faith can and will break your fellowship with God.
Brothers and Sisters, be ever vigilant because your adversary the devil.........
