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?

Jesus presents a choice that is clear and absolute. There is no middle ground or other option so that no one is offended and all ideas are equally true. Christianity is not a religion, it is a word of grace and rescue.

Part of why we worry is thinking that we are defined by our material acquisitions. That's the message we hear over and over again: we are what we earn. But Jesus said our nature and worth are not defined by what we own.

Trying to satisfy yourself with things on earth—cars, houses, money, ambition, career—is like trying to satisfy a dolphin in a bathtub. Just as dolphins were made to swim freely in an open ocean, people are made for God.

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.

Many of us have seen our earthly treasures go through some precarious times. But there is a treasure store that thieves cannot break into, and you can choose to invest there.

Modern life constantly plays a trick on us and tells us that we are going to live forever, and if we worship the right gods of money, power, and sex, we will gain fame and freedom and success. But fasting reminds us of our dependence on God for everything—we are not invincible, we're not unvunerable, and we need God.
