R.A. Martinez shares a timely word on integrity and compromise. He says, “How [others] respond to how you choose to obey God is not your responsibility.” So don’t let the fear of man dictate the choices you make in forming your character.
According to Martinez, “Preserving our integrity is mostly done in the secret place, not in public.” Controversy may be on the other side of your “no” but it’s not worth the compromise you would choose with your “yes.”
