Purim begins Monday evening March 2 in 2026. Here is a timely message for those who value the scriptures.

Considering the ongoing attempts of government to remove Christian thought and biblical discourse from the public square, we need to consider the dangers of compromise and Paul’s advice. As we approach the Passover season this year, we should be aware of the leaven of sin in our world, and the dystopian ideologies that are permeating society at every level. Paul warns us to avoid being tolerant of the evil, lest it corrupt us and our communities. We are God’s partners and in fellowship with him, so we cannot be double-minded and in league with the world’s ideologies.
Esther faced similar dilemmas. Having been taken to the king’s palace, she needed wisdom to deal graciously in her situation without compromising her godly values. Eventually, for the sake of saving her people she was put to the test. We all will face our day of testing and the danger of compromising under pressure. Will we keep God’s promises and his vision in the forefront of our minds and hearts? Will we endure and be victorious following Esther’s example, when our time of testing comes?
