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?

Samson is famous for his strength and the powerful, dynamic personality that goes along with it. But he's also known for his weaknesses. It's important to look beyond the caricatures and look at the real heart of the message of this story.

What is the Christian response to all the trauma in the world today? I'm not sure we have the answer, but it's a very important question. When you get God-centered, it changes everything!

It's so easy in Christian circles to assume that in order to be used by God we have to be picture-perfect. In this passage we find a real rough-and-tumble character, and yet he's consecrated to God and mightily used.

Sinfulness is not breaking religious or social norms. It is worshipping anything other than God. It could be your car!

We used to believe that science was going to solve all our problems, the economy was always going to boom, and politicians were always honorable. Now people do not trust the military, the politicians, or the scientists. But God is unchanging.

Christians are not to be pushovers; Jesus said to turn the other cheek, but He did not say to grin and bear it. The solution is inside—it's determining in the quiet of your soul that if you never get that promotion, what really matters is that you've loved Jesus and your neighbor.

There are great pitfalls to power. If you've been given great authority, you’d better be careful. All of us have a degree of power and authority over at least our own lives. We must make sure to use that power carefully and in a godly way.

Gideon's anger and jealousy was undermining the moral credibility of his victory. How often is that the case for us? Today our society is characterized by anger, and everyone is posturing for their own positions. There is so little harmony.

If you'd had to avoid the secret police to get to church this morning, I bet you'd be listening more intently. It is, perhaps, too easy to be a Christian. What are you willing to give up to keep the peace? The danger of peace is that we get spiritually lazy. We aren't sharpened by a conversation with an atheist or by the challenge of real suffering.
