"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and
wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?"
(2 Corinthians 6:14 NIV)
The truth of God's Word is not negotiable. When you buy a house or car, you negotiate the price. In most business transactions, there are negotiations involving the details of the deal. In a marriage, you negotiate with your spouse about who takes out the garbage, who walks the dog, who has to get up in the middle of the night to change the diapers, as well as other day to day issues couples face. Negotiation is what two parties who are at odds with each other do to help them come together in agreement. It is actually a gift to be a great negotiator and is something we all have to do throughout the course of our lives. However, the one thing that is NOT
NEGOTIABLE is the truth of God's Word!
One of the great lies from satan is that you can negotiate the truth of
God's Word. The reason this is a lie is because the Bible is black and
white, there is no gray. It represents Absolute Truth. Truth is not
something for each person to decide for themselves, it has already been
given to us in God's Word. That is why those who choose to live in
rebellion to God and His Word, reject the truth of the Bible since it is the
very truth that condemns their choice. One of the biggest traps I see
Christians fall into, is compromising the truth of God's Word, trying to
negotiate what parts of the Bible they like and what parts they don't.
GOD'S WORD IS NOT NEGOTIABLE!
There is a problem with all of the ecumenical movements designed to
bring people of the false religions of the world together as one. To be one
with those who deny the Bible, you have to compromise the truth of God's
Word and accept the teachings of these false religions. I am sorry my
friend, but there is only ONE TRUTH and on that fact there can be NO
COMPROMISE! This is not a new problem. It is something we read about
almost since the beginning of man in the early chapters of Genesis at the
Tower of Babel, throughout the Old Testament, in the Gospels where Jesus
warned about the false religions, and throughout the New Testament in Paul's writings about false teachers and theology.
When man sinned, his connection to God was broken by that sin. There was a hole left in man that only God could fill. Each man has to make the choice
to accept or reject God in his life. For those who reject God, that hole
remains and in an effort to fill it, rebellious man dreamed up in his
imagination the false religions of the world. THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IS TRACED BACK TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN AND CAME DIRECTLY FROM GOD OUR CREATOR. THE FALSE RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD COME FROM THE HEARTS OF MEN WHO CHOSE TO LIVE IN REBELLION TO GOD.
In the Book of Acts, Paul did not preach on Mars Hill and compromise the
Gospel. He often preached the truth of God's Word to a hostile crowd and
was beaten and put into jail. Stephen paid the ultimate price for preaching
the Gospel as he was stoned to death for telling people Jesus Christ is the
way, the truth, and the life and nobody comes to the Father except through
Him!!!
I love you and care about you so much. Satan knows that his days are
numbered and his goal is to bring as many into the Lake of Fire with him as
possible, using every type of trick he can. Leading people to hell through
the false religions is one of his oldest tricks. Many cults are trying to
pass themselves off as Christians. They use the Bible, they talk of God and
faith in Jesus, but when you study their theology you quickly realize they
are NOT Christians and the god and Jesus they speak of are NOT the God and Jesus of the Bible.
The truth of God's Word is not up for debate.
I would challenge ALL pastors, ministers, those who head up ministries to at
least once a month get out and preach in the street somewhere around a bunch
of bars and nightclubs, or go find a group of drug addicts, homosexuals, or
others who are lost in a life of sin to preach to. There will be no amens,
there will be no collection at the end, nobody will want your books and
tapes, but you will plant some seeds in the hearts and lives of those who
need to hear about Jesus the most! It is easy to stand in the pulpit of a
great church and tell a friendly crowd of people who love the Lord about
Jesus. The real test comes when you are talking to the lady in the
check-out line at the grocery store who is cursing God for her son's
disease, who doesn't want to hear about Jesus, and sharing with her that
Jesus is her only hope and answer!
I will be praying for you today. Praying that you will remember God has
called ALL of His children to share the truth of His Word with the lost and
hurting in this world. There is nothing wrong with going to preach to a
group of Muslims, a group of people who choose to
support a woman's choice to kill her baby, a group of people who want to see
those of the same sex marry, these are the very people we SHOULD be
preaching to. But we speak to these people for only one reason, and that is
to share with them the truth of God's Word. The truth of God's Word is
something that we can never compromise, it is not up for debate, and it is
NOT NEGOTIABLE!!!
