COMPLACENCY AND CONFORMITY

Beware the dangers of complacency and conformity.
So many of us seek to find comfort and security;
instead of finding peace and rest with God.
So many of us seek to follow the path of least
resistance; instead of the narrow gate and
straight way that leads to life everlasting.
So many of us will tolerate immorality, injustice,
and unrighteousness; instead of standing firm to
our convictions and ideals.
Complacency and conformity will cause us to settle
for less than God's best.
Complacency and conformity will set us adrift from
our beliefs and values.
Complacency and conformity will make us miss
opportunities for eternal rewards.
Complacency and conformity weaken both our witness
and our work for the Lord.
