Living in Compromise

Good Morning! 1Tim 2:9 I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes. Now today I am going to give you a few more Vs that are also in the Bible, but so we can keep up with the standards of today we manipulate and declare things "Old School" so we can say its alright to do these things. Now Lady's I'm not trying to come down on you, but one thing I see with the way alot of women dress today is a lack of modesty. I was even watching the other night where a young pop singer was being interviewed. Now she professes faith in Jesus, but when asked about her skimpy clothes? She said, "All that dress stuff is so Old School." In Leviticus 19:28 it says, Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord. And I remember one time when I said something to someone about that, they told me, "Oh! That is Old Test and doesn't apply to today! But right at the end of that Vs it says God said that, and I don't think he changes His mind so we can conform to this world. In Lev there are many rules that were laid down for righteous living, and yea! Some were for 2000 yrs ago. But do we discount everything in the O T, because it is the O T? The 10 Commandments were in the O T, and yes I know they are in the N T too, but are they Old School because they were written 2000 yrs ago? In Rom 12:2 we are told, Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. I think today to many of us are trying to renew the Word and manipulate it, and conform it to a way of living that still lets us have the best of both worlds. We are Christians but we can still dress and live the cool life, because some of Gods word doesn't pertain to us today! It is Old School! But I have news for you today, God is the same, back then, today and tomorrow. And His Word never changes! So let me ask you this today? Do you not read books that are 30 yrs old, because they are out of date? Do you not study Bible studies from years past, because they do not pertain to today? You know the world is changing, but if you ask me, not for the better! Many of us want to compromise and try and take the Word and mold it into our way of thinking. When the Word is supposed to help us get into Gods way of thinking. So today ask yourself, is there things you do in your life that you justify doing them cause, God told us not to do them in the O T so that doesn't apply today? Or do you manipulate the Word so it adjusts to the way you want to live today? Gods Word never changes and neither does He! So think about that the next time you want to say something is Old School! HABD!
