Free Resource | Does the Bible Promote Tolerance or Intolerance?
One group says the Bible is a book about love, mercy, and kindness. They think of the story of the Good Samaritan and of Jesus telling us to turn the other cheek. So how could anyone think the Bible prevents a tolerant society? But for another group, the Bible is far from tolerant. There’s the conquest of Canaan. There’s Elijah killing Baal’s prophets by his own hand. And in the New Testament, Jesus talks often about hell. That’s not tolerant. What then can we say in answer to this question?

What is it that makes us put out the Spirit's fire? Perhaps is it sin? A particular area in our life that needs to be dealt with? Lethargy—when we don't want to be bothered with things? Josh Moody teaches us more about the Spirit.

What we have here is an encouragement to be honest with God when facing opposition. Very often, people find it hard to pray in difficult times because they feel they have to say nice things to God. But God wants us to pray with authenticity and tell Him how we feel from our heart.

Western Christianity often fails in communication with our culture today. When we say "God," they say "don't tell me what to do." When we say "Jesus," they hear "crusade." When we say "church," they say "not my party!" Josh Moody explains more about outreach.

If you go into any school today, you will find difficulties with discipline because there is no buy-in to authority. Authority itself is seen to be wrong because we see ourselves as innately good. While we are special and made in the image of God, we are marred. Learn more from Josh Moody.

Sometimes we expect God to interact with us like a GPS. We expect clear directions from the divine to turn left in 50 meters. But we need our understanding of guidance to be rooted in God's Word. This passage in Acts will show us more.
