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 have a constant tendency to veer away from the freedom of the gospel. The price of real, spiritual freedom is to guard it and stand firm upon it.

If you are being persecuted for being a child of the promise, it is a telling identity marker that you are His. Who are you really? Are you defined by your parents, where you live, your gender, or by your relationship with Christ?

Paul is launching identity markers for the Galatian church. He's calling them to put their identity in the Bible story–Abraham, Isaac, Christ–rather than in a religiosity, Pharisaic, legalistic identity. Do you identify yourself with God's grace-filled people?

Paul lays out characteristics of proper pastoring because the Galatians were facing false teachers. How do we spot true gospel pastors?

These verses help us to discern good pastoral leadership, appropriate discipleship, and the right way to accept shepherding. We want you to have the tools of discernment so that you can receive true biblical teaching.

We don't want to get wrapped up in forms and structure without the power of God at work in them. It is the power of Christ that we want you to experience today.

Every time the gospel is written or preached, there is a division between those who receive it and those who do not. God's kindness is constantly on display so that we might be lead to repentance.
