Dangerous Temptation to Compromise.. Num25

The great challange Israel had to face was not Jericho's army, but the ever-present temptation to compromise with the pagan Canaanite religions and cultures.
The Bible doesnt say how the Israelites men got involved in sexual immorality. We do know that sacred prostitution was a common practice among Canaanite religions. At first, they didnt think about worshiping idols; they were just interested in sex. Before long they started attending local feast and family celebrations that involved idol worshiping. Soon they were in over their heads, absorbed into practices of the pagan culture. Zimri so disregarded the law of God that he brought a Midianite woman right into the camp into his tent just for sex.
Their desire for fun and pleasure caused them to loosen their spiritual commitment. Have you relaxed your standarts in order to justify your desires?
