The Big Idea: 

What is compromise? Compromise is to act a certain way that contradicts your own ethics, morals, and beliefs. I believe the temptation to compromise our beliefs, morals, and convictions will come to us all. We will feel this pressure to give in, to let down, and to hide our faith.


Main Points:

1. I’m confident you and I will experience our own temptations to compromise. The temptation may occur as the result of pressure from family, friends, work colleagues, or like Daniel, maybe even from leaders. 
2. Wherever it comes from, remember the same God that enabled Daniel to remain strong in his faith, is the same God you serve. With his power, you can resist the temptation to compromise.
3. We cannot wait until we are tempted to settle our convictions. We must decide today what we believe so when the temptation comes, our decision has already been made.


Today’s Scripture Verse:

Daniel 6:10 - “Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.”
