I believe in God. I also believe God. “Discernment is not simply a matter of telling the difference between what is right and wrong; rather it is the difference between right and almost right.” -Charles Spurgeon. Scripture is my authority for all things regarding to life and godliness. 2 Cor.10:5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ

Results of Religious Compromise
"And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and
said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that
hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD." (2 Chronicles 19:2)
Jehoshaphat was a godly king of Judah who faithfully served the
Lord, but he made the tragic mistake of forming an alliance with ungodly king
Ahab of Israel in fighting against their common enemy Syria. After all, he
reasoned, they were "brothers," both descended from Abraham, so they could join
together in battling the Syrians.
As a result, although God continued to bless Jehoshaphat during his
lifetime, this compromise eventually resulted in great tragedy in his family
when his son and successor, Jehoram, married Ahab's wicked daughter, Athaliah,
and then slew all his own brothers, and soon he himself died of a loathsome
disease (2 Chronicles 21:4, 6, 19).
The road of compromise eventually ends in a precipice, especially in
matters regarding the integrity of God's word and His saving gospel....
