Presentation transcript:

We live in a world today where many "golden images" are presented to us

The real test is whether we will stand by our allegiance to our Lord and to the Word He has given to us, or will we yield to the pressure, "bow our knees" and live a life of compromise.

The golden image of money and success

Matthew 6:24 "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

The golden image of pleasure and worldliness

Hebrews 11:24-26 24 By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,

Hebrews 11:24-26 26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.

James 4:4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

The golden image of acceptance and compromise

Mark 8:38 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."

Hebrews 11:33,34 33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

Is our commitment to our Lord absolute, so that nothing will cause us to bow our knees to anything or anyone else?

Is our commitment to our Lord absolute, and not conditional - only if He will do 'such and such' for us?

When we live uncompromising lives - God will be honored and glorified When we live uncompromising lives - God will be honored and glorified. In fact, that is the only way He can be glorified through us.

Remember, that when you find yourself in the fire, there is always the "Fourth Man" with you in it. He is the Lord Himself!
