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 would be the result if this  increasingly took place–if we who follow Jesus Christ were being transformed into his likeness? Would the people who visit our churches notice?

This side of heaven there is no place of perpetual peace. Christians are always close to danger, but the Lord is on our side so this danger need never bring defeat. Learn how a man after God's own heart frames danger in Psalm 124.

We tend to want to take situations into our own hands and exact vengeance. We find it so hard to submit to letting God be God in those moments of trial and scorn. Here Pastor Josh looks at what Psalm 123 says about injustice.

We continue looking at our attitude toward church and those in it. How we feel about the people is a reflection of how we feel about God. It is so important that when we love Christ, we love His people.
