Exodus 8:25-32 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go you, sacrifice to your God in the land.… I. THAT THERE CAN BE NO COMPROMISE IN CHRISTIAN MORALITY. "And Moses said, It is not meet to do so." 1. Because they do not like to give up their sins. 2. Because they will not summon resolution enough to break the force of old and continued habit. II. THAT THERE CAN BE NO COMPROMISE IN CHRISTIAN WORSHIP. "We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the Lord our God, as He shall command us." It is not enough to worship God; we must worship Him in the manner He has made known. Men should not place themselves in temptation by going to unhallowed sanctuaries. 1. Christian worship must not he compromised by idolatry. 2. Christian worship must not be compromised by levity. Prayer must be the dominant impulse of the soul. III. THAT THE SERVANTS OF GOD MUST REJECT ALL ATTEMPTS AT RELIGIOUS COMPROMISE. 1. Because religious compromise brings contempt upon the Christian life. 2. Because religious compromise brings contempt upon Christian worship. (J. S. Exell, M. A.)
