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 look around at our culture today and the challenges we face, and we wonder what God is doing about it. According to Acts, he is expanding his Kingdom by building his church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it.

Being part of a biblical church is not like being part of a gym where you pay your dues and receive services. It's more like you're joining the Navy Seals or a spiritual army on an exciting adventure.
