Wednesday [BE>DO]:

Think about this week’s questions for group discussion.

1. What are some “blind spots” we tend to have within the church when it comes to areas of compromise? How do we intentionally protect against becoming blind to these areas and falling into them?

3. Why is a merely privatized faith not an option for the genuine believer? How can this in itself lead to spiritual and theological compromise?
