  • Compromises can lead to immorality (Judges 3: 1-11)- 'Now these are the nations which the Lord left, that He might test Israel by them, that is, all who had not known any of the wars in Canaan ( this was only so that the generations of the children of Israel might be taught to know war, at least those who had not formerly known it), namely, five lords of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who dwelt in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath. And they were left, that He might test Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commandments of the Lord , which He had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses. Thus the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons; and they served their gods. So the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord . They forgot the Lord their God, and served the Baals and Asherahs. Therefore the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and He sold them into the hand of Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan-Rishathaim eight years. When the children of Israel cried out to the Lord , the Lord raised up a deliverer for the children of Israel, who delivered them: Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother. The Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and the Lord delivered Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-Rishathaim. So the land had rest for forty years. Then Othniel the son of Kenaz died.' Judges 3:1-11 https://www.bible.com/bible/114/JDG.3.1-11
This was like a repitition of the time of Moses when He was raised up by God to deliver the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt.  We must beware of compromising in our lives; anything out of God's word or command is compromising and can lead to perdition.
  • Stay away from immoral Christians (1 Corinthians 5: 9-11)- 9 I wrote to you in my epistle 2 Cor. 6:14; Eph. 5:11; 2 Thess. 3:6 not to keep company with sexually immoral people. 10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go John 17:15 out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company Matt. 18:17 with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—Gal. 2:12 not even to eat with such a person.
We should keep away from people claiming to be Christian, but, practicing sin.  They are worse than the people of the world since they know how they should live, yet, they do not.
  • Practicing immorality treats God lightly (1 Corinthians 6: 19-20)- 19 Or John 2:21; 1 Cor. 3:16; 2 Cor. 6:16 do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, Rom. 14:7 and you are not your own? 20For Acts 20:28; 1 Cor. 7:23; Gal. 3:13; 1 Pet. 1:18; 2 Pet. 2:1; Rev. 5:9 you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
When we practice sin, it is as if God does not matter.  Saying He does not matter says we do not matter.
  • Immorality should have no place among Christians (Ephesians 4: 17-19)- 17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should Eph. 2:2; 4:22 no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the Rom. 1:21 blindness of their heart; 191 Tim. 4:2 who, being past feeling, 1 Pet. 4:3 have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Doing the wrong thing should not exist within the Christian community.  We should always be inclined to do the right thing.

We should never be tired of doing the right thing spiritually, mentally, physically.. we should have the mind of Christ.  When we have the mind of Christ, we will do the right thing...  God bless and the Lord's peace be with you!  Amen!
