Tolerance is not approving an opinion you do not hold. It's about treating the person --who's saying what you can powerfully disagree with--with respect, humility, and love.

The longer we walk with the Lord the less need we have for God to “explain” Himself… – at Georgia, USA

You can only stay bitter toward someone if you feel superior, if you feel that you would never do anything like they did. Those who won’t forgive show they have not accepted the fact of their own sinfulness.

There are ZERO exceptions to Christ’s command to love your neighbor.
No religious exceptions
No sexuality exceptions
No ethnic exceptions
There isn’t even an ENEMY exception!
God calls us to stand for what is right, but never to hate those we perceive as wrong.

In September 2018, Justus Edwards suffered a life-changing injury during a game and was told he likely wouldn't be able to walk again.
On Saturday, he returned to the spot on the field where he was injured 🙏

As Christians, we don't share the same faith as Muslims. But the Bible is clear that we are to LOVE our neighbors & Muslims are our neighbors. And when our neighbors mourn...we mourn. When our neighbors are afraid, we show up, listen, protect & remind them that they're not alone.

When the gospel has become bad news to the poor, to the oppressed, to the broken-hearted and imprisoned and good news to the proud, self-righteous and privileged instead, it is no longer the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus’s teaching consistently attracted the irreligious while offending the Bible-believing religious people of His day. However-our churches do not have this same effect which can only mean one thing. Our preaching and practices are not declaring the same message that Jesus did.

Are you the kind of person, and is your church the kind of church, about which others in your community might say, "I don't share their beliefs, but I shudder to think about what this city would be like without them?

Suffering awakens us out of our haunted sleep of spiritual self-sufficiency into a serious search for the divine.

We have a right to believe whatever we want, but not everything we believe is right. —@RaviZacharias

“It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.” - Psalm 127:2
Receiving rest is one way we receive God’s love.
Burning the candle on both ends is one way we express unbelief and self-reliance.
