The Challenge of Compromise

Compromise

To compromise is to make concessions or accommodations for someone who does not agree with a prevalent set of standards or rules

King Jehoshaphat

2 Chronicles *The Lord was with Jehoshaphat [17:2-4] * The Lord blessed and prospered him [17:5;18:1] *Sought God and removed places of idolatry [17:6] *Taught the people the law of God [17:7-9] *Enemies sought peace with him & brought tributes to him [17:10-19] *God-fearing king who sought after God [20:3] *He worshipped God [20:18] *Did that which was right in the eyes of God [20:32]

The Road to Compromise

1) Ungodly Affinity The Road to Compromise

Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab. [2 Chronicles 18:1]

Related by Marriage His son married his daughter [2 Chronicles 21:6]

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? [2 Corinthians 6:14]

Marriage Union

Business

2) Ungodly Fraternity The Road to Compromise

And after certain years he [Jehoshaphat] went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him. [2 Chronicles 18:2a]

Bad Company Corrupts Good Morals [1 Corinthians 15:33]

Mix Widely, But Mix Wisely

He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. [Proverbs 13:20]

3) Ungodly Alliance The Road to Compromise

…and [Ahab] persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead. And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Will thou go with me to Ramothgilead? [2 Chronicles 18:2b-3a]

And he [Jehoshaphat] answered him [Ahab], I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war. [2 Chronicles 18:3b]

Habitual acceptance of sin and tolerance toward sin dulls one’s senses towards right & wrong, and diminishes one’s ability to discern and differentiate between good and evil Habitual Acceptance & Tolerance

No one can harm or hurt those whom God will protect. No one can save or shelter those whom God will destroy

[2 Chronicles 19:2] 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 L ORD ? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the L ORD. [2 Chronicles 19:2]

[2 Chronicles 20:35-36] 35 And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly: 36 And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongeber. [2 Chronicles 20:35-36]

[2 Chronicles 20:37] Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the L ORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish. [2 Chronicles 20:37]
