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 verse is like a splash of cold water across the face because it exposes the most powerful myth of our contemporary society, namely, individual autonomy. What does God's Word have to say about being slaves of God?

Don't quit on training for holiness. Train hard now, suffering denial, so that then you will live forever with God under grace in glory.

Because of what Christ has done on the cross and what he has done by His Spirit in our lives when we believe in Him, we are to take an active approach to dealing with sin in our lives. So often we fail because we appear to decide, but really we haven't done anything about it yet.

The Power of the Resurrection is the new reality that gives us new perspective and the power to face life in all its messiness.

A follower of Christ is not someone who follows Christ as long as that does not stop them from following something else. Do you consider yourself as primarily dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus? Is your primary identity His?

How did one small band of peasants from a far-flung corner of an ancient empire turn the whole world upside-down by preaching without agression, manipulation, or violence that Christ is risen? Because He is!
