The difference between loving the unsaved and compromising with them

It seems from time to time when I bring up the subject of not compromising with the unsaved, some Christians who go more by their emotions than Gods instructions take offense and may get a little critical of me. BUT, there is a difference between loving the unsaved and approving of their sin to appear unjudgemental, or participating in their sin.Like, if we witness to a drug addict,, we don't have to take drugs to prove we love them. That's not Gods love, that's just letting the sinner bring you down to their level instead of getting them up to ours.If a woman witnesses to a prostitute, should she become a prostitute to prove that God loves sinners? And approving of it is just as bad. We have to witness to, and pray for, the unsaved, but that's different from what I've been seeing.If a Christian singer is invited to a gay wedding ,if he's expected to sing songs congradulating the gay couple, or wishing well for their "union"{even though it goes against his/her beliefs}I think that's compromise.{"leave no room for the devil"}I say that while we have to shine our light, we also have to watch it doesn't cross over into compromise.I just say getting the balance is the answer. Those who fear being judgemental sometimes go to THE OTHER EXTREME and compromise with sin.The balance...use judgement, let the Spirit guide you.Right?

Praying for the unsaved is greatest of them all
Who are we to judge others
Lets bow down to our saviour and pray for every one for our living God keeps a watch on all our intentions
Praise the Lord

Has nothing to do with judgement, I say we shouldn't compromise our holiness to go the other extreme of judgement.

To love the unsaved is to fast and pray before the Lord to touch their life and turn from sin and evil to Gods mercy.
To love them is to invite them specially our unsaved nextdoor neighbors to church and make sure they get saved and on their way to heaven
To compromise with them is to follow them and commit sin and evil the Lord. That will bring judgment on us because we have done what is wrong in the sight of the Lord.
To compromise with them is to join in their evil ways and disobey Gods commandments.
My prayer today is to none of us, those who believe, trust and wait for Jesus coming will ever compromise with sinners. Instead, bring them all to the feet of Jesus and ask for mercy and save our lost loved ones who refuse to come to the Lord. Dear God, please, hear our prayers and save them all we pray. Amen

I always pray for my unsaved loved ones and friends. Hoping they too wil reach the golden gate where Jesus awaits to welcome us home in heaven.
