"Truth or Compromise? Part 2 – Why the Bible Must Be Your Only Source of Truth"

Are you following Jesus or just following opinions? 

Last week, we exposed a dangerous reality—too many Christians are letting culture, influencers, and politics shape their faith instead of standing firm on God's Word. We tackled the dangers of syncretism, denominational thinking, and political agendas that distort truth. 

This week on “Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow,” host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow take that conversation further. The Bible isn't just another source of wisdom—it is the source of Truth. But if that's the case, why do so many avoid reading it? Is it laziness? Fear? Distraction? When we let emotions and opinions replace Scripture, we drift into confusion and compromise. 

Take immigration, for example. Many Christians argue their positions based on politics or personal feelings—but what does God say? The Bible makes it clear how we are to treat the foreigner and uphold justice. Instead of choosing sides based on headlines and party lines, Richard and Christy tackle this issue through a biblical lens—not a political one. 

If we don't filter everything—our beliefs, decisions, and worldviews—through Scripture, we will always be lost. The battle for truth isn't just out there in culture; it's happening in our own hearts. 

It's time to stop making excuses. Get into the Bible, stand firm on truth, and live it out.
