How some people come to Christ like the jerk
I was thinking this morning how some folks come to Jesus and they think they can hang on to "just this one thing", and it made me think of Steve Martin in "The Jerk". "All I need is this ash tray......."
Next thing you know, they have a whole pile of "junk/sin" that they don't need in their life.

To most, coming to Jesus just means going to church.

Compromise Has A Voice
Compromise has a voice. -"I'm doing the best I can", how do you know for sure when you give in too easily?
-"God knows my heart". Ok, but what are you trying to hide and why?
-"Nobody is perfect". That is no excuse to carry on with sin. Repent.
-"I am not as bad as Hitler". Sin is the base setting for humanity, not how much sin or what kind of sin. Repent, be forgiven AND cleansed. Stop compromising and begin a walk in submission to God's Word and His righteousness.

If you're not born again you're the same in your heart and the devil is your father. It does't matter that you just never let it out in the same manner he did. But the same hatred, murder, etc, etc, etc, is in your heart.

Right. Sin is the base setting.

Jesus and ...
Jesus plus this ...
Jesus and my culture... that's a picture of the early Roman Catholic Church which historically allowed the pagan festivals in right alongside the Gospel which freed them from those things.
Even now, cultural Christianity is a picture of Jesus and .... A double minded man will never get anything from God (James 1:7,8)

"Jesus and...." is one of my sermons from 25 years ago. You cannot serve to masters. Whatever your "and" is, that will be your focus. Mormons go to hell because they serve Joey Smith and Moroni. Jw's, the same. The RCC is the world's largest cult...yada yada yada.
