Beyond Tolerance #6, Part 1

November 6, 2021

Once we have the right definition in our minds and we have the power of God (having been born of God) then let us love one another like this. John is defining love. How do you know when someone really loves you? Ultimately, it's because someone forgives you.

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?

The idea that we can reinvent our sexuality and the model of families without having any impact on western civilization is simply wrong. When a family is centered on God with the gospel at its heart, it has a witness effect on society.

More and more, western society sees marriage not as a place of fruitfulness but as a place of repression. In this message, Pastor Josh looks at how to not just survive family life, but thrive in it.

We want to be tolerant, but there are so many things we should not tolerate. If someone is practicing self-harm, it is not loving to ignore that; it's loving to confront that. The line between love and truth can become blurred, but the Bible has a healthy way of looking at these two things.

To get true lasting happiness—true joy—means recognizing your life needs to center on God. It means having the humility to turn to God and say, "I need you and not my personal gods of self: sex, career, selfishness."

Joy is not part of one's temperament. We are in pursuit of joy that is deeper than laughter, joy which can be present in the face of difficulty. Pastor Josh speaks on the secret of joy.

The journey to security is like that moment when a child is tossed up in the air by his exuberant dad. We are caught up between the panic of being thrown in the air and the excitement of trusting. We can look forward to being caught, secure in God's presence.

We can build walls to protect us, but without the right values, walls are as weak as the humans who guard them. A little bribe will make the gates open up. Psalm 125 points us to how to be truly secure.
