It is easy to not compromise when you LOVE the TRUTH!

Matthew 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Matthew 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

Politically correct? No. Sympathy toward sin? No. Jesus did not seem to sympathize with hypocrites and sinners one bit. He had compassion on everyone, he had love for everyone, but he did not allow sin to go without being dealt with.

You see it everywhere today, sympathy for wrong doing and justification for wrong actions. Everywhere from news media to “churches”, from schools to jobs folks are having to deal with good being spoken evil of, all the whiles evil is being promoted. Media attention goes to Hollywood filled with homosexuality and all uncleanliness, idols are made out of people that are far from role model material. Many children can tell the latest on television shows but not quote one scripture. Tolerance is being screamed from the Left all while not giving any tolerance to the beliefs of others. As in the news recently with Chick-fil-a, standing for the morals you believe in can get you in a heap of hot water in today's society. We are living in dangerous times, filled with sympathy for sin and intolerance for Christian beliefs.

So the media is not favorable toward those that want to live right, neither is the government in many circumstances. So we must stand together for what is right. Preachers can not become sympathizers toward evil, saints cannot begin to welcome sin into their homes. True preachers are going to be like Jesus, who faced opposition but never quit preaching the truth. The world's only hope is in truth, so in compassion we must continue to preach what the world needs to hear. Preach to me preacher, no one else is going to in the world we live where everything seems to go in their eyes.

Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

Jesus saw the one thing this man lacked, and instead of just sympathizing with him he let him know. The man could then make a decision either to listen and live, are not and face eternal damnation. Thank God that today there are still those that love people just like Jesus loved this man, loving them enough to tell them what they lack. No beating around the bush, no sympathy toward sin, no politically correctness, just a straightforward answer to the problem. Thats what truth does, truth is just right. When you preach truth, you are never in doubt you know what is right and wrong according to God. Thank God for my pastor that always preaches the truth in love, thank God for the knowledge of the truth so I can always preach the truth in love. You can have confidence in truth.

So while the world is wishy-washy in what they believe and compromise about everything the church just keeps right on going with confidence because we know in whom we have believed, and we are persuaded. Do not be a sympathize, get persuaded of truth!
