We compromise and rationalize the Word of God to obtain
what we want. That is American Christianity. I must confess
that I’ve compromised and rationalized the Word of God to
justify all manner of things I wanted. In truth, I did not really
believe the Bible, or I would have obeyed and not compromised.
I said I believed the Word...I even believed I believed it. My
choices proved otherwise.
When my idea of what I needed was different than what God
said I needed, my actions proclaimed my unbelief. Had I truly
believed God’s Word, I would have obeyed Him.
I would have feared the Lord.

Pastor Dave Hoffman-Fear of the Lord
“Sure, I’d love to be involved in my children’s education but I
just don’t have the time to do it. I’m far too busy just working to
support them.”
“Tithe? Have you see my bills? I can’t afford to tithe!
Besides, tithing is just an Old Testament requirement.”
“If I take a stand on that issue, people will think I’m narrowminded.
They’ll think I’m a Jesus freak. I could even get fired
from work.”
On and on it goes.

“Pastor, I’m a businessman. I can’t be completely honest. If
I don’t stretch the truth a little bit I’m not going to make any
money! You just don’t understand.”
“I like to dress this way. Not to attract boys...I just like to be
trendy and stay fashionable.”
“I know I’m supposed to be the spiritual leader of my house,
but it’s such a hassle! Whenever I’ve tried to lead family
devotions no one wants to follow me; it’s just not worth it!
Besides, I’m trusting God to lead them.”

Hoffman Dave-Fear of the Lord
I have been a pastor for more than 20 years and have watched
countless times as Christians willfully compromise and
rationalize the Word of God so they can pursue their own desires
instead of obeying God’s decrees. For many years I thought I
knew better than God what was good for me. As a result, I have
suffered immensely at my own hand and have learned through
hardship and disappointment that God’s rules are designed to
benefit His people...not to deprive them! All too often Christians
distort, compromise and rationalize the word of God so they can
justify pursuing their own desires. Too often their Christianity
looks like this:
“This marriage is over! I have struggled for years to make it
work, and instead I am miserable! Divorce is the only way I’ll
ever have real peace and happiness. God loves me and He wants
me to be happy. I believe God will understand why I must get
divorced even though there are no biblical grounds. In fact, I
think He wants this for me, and even if I’m wrong I know God
will forgive me.”

Mr. David Hoffman-Fear of the Lord
In the life of a Christian, the difference between a preference
and a conviction is the fear of the Lord!
I believe the fear of the Lord is the most important Christian
discipline you can develop. When you fear God, you provide Him
with the platform from which He can protect and bless you.
Sadly, the Church of Christ is overflowing with people who have
a great number of preferences but very few convictions, revealing
a great lack of the fear of God in their lives.

CHAPTER ONE
The Fear of the Lord Produces
Knowledge and Wisdom
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,And the
knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
[Proverbs 9:10]
Is your life built on preferences or convictions? A preference
is something you greatly value or hold to as a high
priority...something you prefer. A conviction is something to
which you are deeply committed. A person with a preference for
honesty might be willing to report wrong information on tax
returns if it means saving several hundred dollars. They prefer
to be honest, but are willing to compromise when it seems to be
in their best interest to do so. A person with a conviction about
honesty will report tax returns accurately—even if it means
paying several thousand dollars more! That person is committed
to honesty in spite of what it may cost them.

Dufresne Ed Dr. - How to Flow With Anointings and Mantles
When you try to walk in something you’re not called to, it can cause you to die prematurely. Many people don’t realize this about the fivefold ministry. They think, “Well, bless God, I can do anything I want to. I can walk in any office I want to.” No, you can’t! Not unless God calls you into that office and anoints and equips you for it.
