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?

We live in a time where some are very wealthy and some are struggling. We live in a time where much of the Western church seems to have a superficial spirituality. How much of that is due to our captivation by the idol of materialism?

The resurrection is what makes life meaningful. Without it, Christianity is not true; without it, life has no point. With the resurrection, if we serve Jesus, then our life now has meaning and is not in vain.

Baptism makes no sense if you don't believe in the resurrection. Baptism is a form of dying and rising to new life. There are those who hold to tradtions like baptism or membership in a church as the things that save them. But what truly saves you is a living faith in Jesus.

If we live with the end in mind, how much more is there on offer for the way we live now? This should be part of our life experience as Christians, to really live with all the fruit, joy, grace, and beauty that is on offer in the Bible.

Here Paul describes a form of godliness without the power of Christ. We need structure, but if that's all there is, we're missing the main point, which is Christ and his power. We want you to have him and that power at work in your life.

Our belief in Jesus' resurrection goes beyond intellectual assent. It is something deeper and extraordinary. No other religion claims that its leader is alive. It is the Truth that changes everything about how we live.

The Corinthians are questioning some core convictions of the faith and the impact of those beliefs on their lives. Today we need to ask ourselves: what do we really believe and what difference does it make in how we live?
September 8, 2022
We have rational, overt reasons for what we believe, but we also tend toward what's going to make our lives easier and give us more of what we want. We need to be honest with ourselves about this. Are we willing to accept the truth of God? Because it will change our world.
