"The
'evil' of Compromise"
"Let
your statement be 'yes, yes' or 'no, no,'
anything else is evil (of the evil one, the devil)."
Matthew 5:37
On CNN
television last Friday (November 9, 2007*), Wolf
Blitzer(the show is called "The Situation Room")
interviewed the "pastor" of the largest "church" in the
United States. Wolf asked his opinion on "gay
rights." The pastor's response was as follows,
"I don't think homosexuality is God's best but I
just try to stay in my calling

Joel Osteen,
The Situation Room, November 9, 2007
Blitzer went on to

I'm certainly for everybody having a chance in life
and being kind and respectful to everyone.
But I just don't know if I'm up to speed on it all."
Joel Osteen,
The Situation Room, November 9, 2007
Ironically, and I
think, very appropriate, Blitzer then asked, "Have
you ever considered running for office?"
Brothers and
sisters, Jesus said that Satan himself is the
author of compromise(see Matthew 5:37).
Anything other than saying what you mean and meaning
what you say is not only "evil,"

"If you deny Me before men, I will deny you before My
Father in heaven" (see Matthew 10:37-38).
There are
many ways to deny Jesus.
Refusing
to accurately represent Him is one of them.
And this is
something that, being a pastor myself, "I am up to
speed on..."
