A person never learns when they are busy compromising with evil. People are designed to be smart enough to learn form their mistakes. What does it say about humanity when people do not learn. Do you play with evil or do you learn what evil is to stay away from it?
You learn from your mistakes when you banish the people that choose to live evil lifestyles. It is better to banish someone than it is to fall into sin yourself. If you are around something that is evil long enough, it no longer appears to be evil. It does not change the fact that evil is evil, but the appearance of it no longer seems that bad.
A small compromise will lead to bigger compromises. You don't turn to evil in one big leap. It happens over a series of small choices that seemed innocent or better of two evils at the time. When there appears to be no good way, that is when you need to stop and pray for God to reveal His door out of the situation. I promise He has a way out or a way through.
A little evil spreads in a community turning into addiction and influence toward all kinds of evil. It becomes a part of the lifestyle. It becomes normal and when that happens it is much harder to break away.
If this is not the world you want to live in, then make a list of your chronic mistakes. Look at where your weaknesses are. Pray over them and ask God to reveal truth and insight into your own life. You are guilty of habitual sin when you keep making the same mistakes over and over. You can break the pattern if you want to.
Do not keep rejecting the truth. God is the provider of truth. Jesus lived the truth. The Holy Spirit speaks the truth into you. You need to accept it and do with it as the Holy Spirit directs. Do not choose your own ego over the truth that is hard to hear. You are not perfect, so do not fool yourself into thinking that you are.
Do not hate the people that speak honestly. If they are telling you the truth, then it means that they actually care about you. They want to help you. It may not sound like the rest of the world, but that is when you should stop, think, and pray. If they are going against the current of society, then why? There has to be a reason. If it is to follow God, then you need to listen to what they have to say and then go the Bible to see if it backs it up.
If you can't handle the truth, then that means that Satan has a good grip on your life. You will need to work out your ego, sin, and mindset with God. No one can help you if you reject the truth. If you are an enemy of the truth, then you have to accept the truth and start from there. No one can force you, assist you, or guide you. You have to come to terms of how things are on your own. Once you accept the truth, then people will place people in your life to help you in your journey with Him.
If you are a speaker of the truth, then you need to prayerfully think about your message. How will people hear the truth best. It is not all about you. It is about God, so we need to give His message in the manner that the person we are talking to will hear it. The message may nee to be given bluntly, softly, intellectually, metaphorically, or some other manner where the person will really hear it and not just reject it before you even finish. Give God's message and then let Him work. If you do your part, then you can live with a clear conscience.
