What is a word we as Christians need to learn to use? The word is “NO”. Now we tend to want to be nice and accommodating whenever possible, but there are many times when the word “No” is appropriate and necessary. Let me give you a few examples.
When someone wants you to accept sin as being normal. Say No!
When asked to participate in something the Bible clearly says is wrong. Say No!
When we are tempted to compromise God’s Word to be accepted. Say No!
When people want so much of your time that you can’t do what God has called you to do. Say No!
Satan will use your desire to feel needed and use that to deplete you, exhaust you, and make you spiritually unhealthy. Saying “NO” is the right thing to do when it keeps us in God’s plan for our day and life. We live in a society where Christians are expected to compromise their beliefs in order to be accepted, to be woke, or to be politically correct. The answer is “NO”. There is no compromise when it comes to God’s Word. Learning to say “NO” is one of God’s ways of protecting us, so use it confidently whenever needed.
Matthew 5:37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
