Searching for Compromise

[Worldly] compromise is so hard to find. It is not an issue that you easily identify, fight, picket, or bomb. It's slippery. It's illusive. It conceals itself in the highest places and wraps its evil tentacles around the most bedrock truth. It disguises itself with much good intention and, when uncovered, it excuses itself repeatedly with helpless cries of fatalism. Compromise is primarily a heart issue and this is what makes it so hard to find. How do you examine the heart?
