No Compromise

"How could I love another?

My knees bow only to One Name

My lips have One King to proclaim!

I will lift none other high

This is my one heart's cry

No Compromise!"

I love this song! It is "No Compromise" by Peter Furler! I have recently been convicted of once again becoming entangled in entertainment. It is amazing how it saps my love for God and diminishes my joy. It promises; laughter, fun, excitement, romance, and adventure....but its promises come back empty. While there is fleeting pleasure to be sure there is no lasting joy. How could there be...for it takes my eyes off the only true source of joy!  "No man can serve two masters..." I realize this verse is in reference to money but I feel it applies here as well! 


I have found that my greatest temptation to mindless viewing of entertainment comes when I am alone. 90% of what I watch... I watch alone. Therefore I have decided I will not allow myself to watch anything unless it is with another person. I am going to test this plan for one month..and as today is the first of December...it works out perfect. If I find that either a: I am still watching copious amounts of entertainment and simply drawing others into my weakness, or b: that I find myself still watching things secretly, I plan to, by the grace of God, cut out all entertainment from my life. If I am not strong enough to exercise self-control there is nothing else to be done. "No man can serve to masters" I know who I want to serve! 


I would welcome your encouragement and accountability. 

How could I love another?

 My knees bow only to One Name.

 My lips have One King to proclaim. 

No Compromise!
