Paul Harvey tells the story of the uncertain soldier in our Civil War who, figuring to play it safe, dressed himself in a blue coat and gray pants and tiptoed out onto the field of battle. He got shot from both directions!

The Bible is full of examples of individuals who compromised in one form or another and their ensuing losses. Lot who separated from Abram and moved as far as Sodom Gen-13:12-13 

Samson who compromised with Delilah Jdg-16:1-2; and Solomon who loved many foreign women 1Ki-11:1-4 are but a few examples.

What about times when we are tempted to compromise our faith or beliefs? Will we stay strong or try and wear the blue and gray? Think about it!

"Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might" Eph-6:10
