Faith Compromised

Relationships affect our faith in many ways. One of these ways is when we become accepting of the standards and or habits of those around us. They may have other false gods - like money, TV, sex, sports, etc. We don't start out determined to be idolaters. We just add them in to our lives while we worship God - usually because "there is nothing wrong" with them. But in time, we may find ourselves absorbed in what the Bible calls pagan worship - these things have become very important in our lives. Friendship with non-believers is important. But we must accept people without compromising or adopting their patterns of behavior.
