Relief From Fit-In Pressure - #6282
My son summed it up one day. He said, "Dad, life is so much simpler when you've decided to be totally for Christ." Now, he's right. Starting now, why don't you verbally, clearly let it be known where you stand? And pretty soon they'll back off, and they'll expect you to be what you said you'd be like. That's the very best relief you can buy from the pressure to fit in.

Revive Our Hearts: The Sin of Tolerance--Revelation: Thyatira
As Nancy explores Jesus’ letter to the church in Thyatira, she warns us of the danger of compromising both sound doctrine and holy living. Plus, she reminds us that as believers, God calls us to be separate from the world and helps us grapple with what it means to engage the culture but live in a way that brings glory to Him.

Revive Our Hearts: Compromising Truth--Revelation: Pergamum
As Nancy explores Jesus’ letter in Revelation to the church in Pergamum, she shows us just how embracing the world’s standards rather than following Christ puts us at risk of losing our very character and identity as the people of God. Jesus knows what we’re up against and will give us the grace and strength to hold fast to our faith in Him.

Contextualization without compromise. Tell the gospel so it makes sense
Valuable explanation from Pastor Tullian Tchividjian of the strategic importance of biblical contextualization. The ministry of Jesus clearly demonstrates this sort of contextualization. Today’s popular culture also offers us multiple entry points for effective evangelism.

The Waves You're Making - #6140
Before you go speeding into what you may be considering, would you think about it and consider the waves that your life is making? Make the choices that will cause those who follow you to bless your memory and the God that you helped them find across those years.

Standing Against the Tide - #6133
In the words of Psalm 4:5, "Offer right sacrifices, and trust in the Lord." Do what's right - even if it's a sacrifice - and trust the Lord for what happens after that. His greatest rewards are reserved for those who will not betray Him, even for another king. Erosion will take what you cannot afford to lose. Stand against that temptation, stand against the tide, and let God give you what you could never have any other way.

Spiritual Snowmen - #6127
When we let the heat of an out-of-control, spiritually uncaring world keep melting us down, making us soft, pretty soon there's nothing left but spiritual mush. If you belong to Jesus, your life is supposed to offer a choice, not an echo for a lost and dying world. We have to stand our ground. Or lose the very things that make a Jesus-follower the light of their world.

Slowly, But Surely, Submerged - #6105
You've got to stop that killer strategy with the first look, the first date, the first lie, the first flirtation, the first thoughts of divorce, the first detour from God's Word. This is going to take you where you don't want to go - unless you stop it now. Before today's compromise gives birth to tomorrow's tragedy, run from it.

The Prize and the Prison - #6021
The devil's basic strategy is really pretty simple: get you obsessed with the prize you might get so you're blind to the trap you're walking into. He'll convince you that "it's just this once," "just a little," "it won't hurt." Lies. All lies. Jesus exposed the devil when he said he is "the father of lies" and "there is no truth in him."

How to Avoid a Major Mess - #6019
When I was a kid, I had this inflatable boxer who was as big as I was. When I punched him, he fell all the way backwards, but he didn't stay down. He came right back up again. That's what God has made it possible for you to do so you can begin to break that cycle of defeat and discouragement.
