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?

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.

What is a true church or a healthy church? Why should I be a member? Colossians talks about what a church should and should not be. Let's move beyond the labels and look at the substance of a biblical church.

Paul shows how grateful he is for all that God has done through the Colossians. We shouldn't only think of Paul as a model for us with his forcefullness, but also with the gratitude and care he shows to the people that he's called to serve.

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.

You need to remember who you are as a Christian—a child of God, on your way to heaven, part of the eternal family of God. We seldom think like that, and because of that, we don't live up to our inheritance in Christ.

The religion that we think of is Christ and the church, but when we understand the sufficiency of Christ, then our understanding of church is not just religiosity. It's a community around Jesus. This transforms our view of the community and what the church is.
March 4, 2021
