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?

We live in a time when spirituality is in vogue. People don't like to think of themselves as religious, but they like the feeling of something transcendent. If you look in the "Christian" section of a bookstore, it gives you a sense of what spiritual views are being pushed in society.

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.

We don't seem to want to become mature as a society. You could argue that the church is beginning to do the same. We don't want to get into perfectionism, but we must look at the end goal of finishing mature in Christ.

It can be tempting to tweak the gospel to make it more acceptable, but then what you're teaching or sharing is no longer the gospel, so you've done nothing. We need to stick to the message and simply alter our approach depending on the person.

It's easy to be infused with spiritual energy on Sunday and then fizzle out on Monday morning when we head to work. But the gospel is equally applicable to being an accountant or lawyer as it is to leading a Bible study. Pastor Josh explains how.

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.

The real sign of an excellent Christian: one who is so fixed on Christ, for the sake of the joy to come, that he or she can endure the shame of any cross. Part of excellence for Christians is simply to show endurance and to keep going no matter what difficulty we face.
