Just because you believe something firmly doesn't make it true. Be willing to reexamine what you believe.

It will always try us and it was always tempt us and therefore we always need to be submitting our mind, will and emotions to the lordship of Jesus Christ.

You should understand that private faith does not force public decisions. That's how you work at compromise.
