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 need to get out of the trap of viewing work as separate category from what happens at church, and stop thinking of it as what happens from 9 to 5. Our work often defines us and our identity. We need to see how work can be spiritual by orienting our work around our service of God. Our identity is in Christ first, and out of that flows our work.

Christian suffering has a purpose because it is incomparable to glory. It is like childbirth and it is God's plan for our glory to come. It points to the certainty of what is ours in Christ in heaven.
