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.

Who truly are his disciples? Many different answers have been given down through the years. Today the most common answer is that it doesn't matter what you believe as long as you are sincere—but is that Jesus' answer?

If your question is "What will be different after this?" we hope and pray that we will be different, with a vision of God and his gospel. There's a personal transformation that takes place as we understand what church is and our part in it.

As we look at the conflict in this passage about the healing of the man with the withered hand, it's easy to put all the blame on the Pharisees. Their zeal for the law was good, but they misunderstood the nature of grace.

What we need to be holding onto is the real nature of who Jesus is and what the gospel is—and have that story clear in our minds. Conflict often reveals the real nature of something. The conflict in this passage is intended to bring absolute clarity to what the real nature of the story of the gospel is.
