What happens when the conviction is gone?  As christians we're faced with the world in every direction.  When I say world I'm talking about the sin that so easily entangles us.  It's in our non christian friends (and christian friends), our T.V., our radio, our everyday life.  We truly wouldn't hang out with the type of people we actually watch on our t.v., yet everyday we invite them into our living room.  What are we to do? 

We feel an uncomfortable conviction when we do something, and as time goes by we get more and more comfortable.  All of a sudden we take a real hard look and start examining our lives only to find out that it's different now than it was a year or so ago.  The things you were convicted about are no longer convictions, only mere compromises.
