Episode notes
Saved From A Small Compromise
- KB recounts leading Ameen to Christ and a moment when Ameen corrected KB's desire to become a 'regular Christian.'
- That correction stopped a small compromise that could have led KB away from deeper holiness.
How Small Compromises Scale
- 'Little foxes' are small, cute compromises that desensitize and prepare us for bigger sin.
- KB warns that cumulative small concessions, not grand arguments, usually lead to spiritual collapse.
Remove Profit And Image From Worship
- Do expel profit-seeking and image-driven behavior from worship spaces because Jesus cleared the temple for that reason.
- Drive out both sellers and buyers who use the house of God for merchandise or status.
