The problem with tolerance

July 26, 2010

"I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

--John 14:6

You and I live in an age of tolerance. But tolerance doesn't just mean respecting another person's viewpoint or worldview or opinion.

In this day and age, tolerance means that all truth or all belief systems and ideas are equally true. It means that truth is relative to you and your circumstances. So whatever you believe is equal to what I believe; and therefore, our beliefs are in essence the same. And this is particularly true when it comes to religion.

Now, the uninformed and sometimes those who want to appear intellectually superior or sophisticated will suggest that every person chooses their own path to eternity. And because individuals are in charge of their own future, whatever they choose will take them to the place they have proposed to go.

So what do you think about this notion? Are all religions the same? As a Christ follower, how do you respond to something like that?

Well, this sounds pretty muddled and confusing until you look at what Jesus had to say on the subject. He said "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." That's it. The final word on the subject has been spoken.

If you believe the Scripture is the Word of God, then there's only one way to heaven: Jesus.

Be prepared to give an answer. Stand on the Word and tell others what the Scripture says. 

JESUS, THE FINAL WORD ON THE SUBJECT, HAS SPOKEN.

Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out

Dear Friend,

Do the words rested... peaceful... and refreshed describe you today? Or do the words stressed... rushed... and pressured better describe your way of life?
If you're like most Christians, you'd probably have to admit those last three words more accurately describe your life most of the time!
The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way... even when your life is one big pressure-cooker. And in my new book, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out, I'll show you why.
Based on the principles from Paul's letter to the Philippians and Psalm 23, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out will help you find true peace and rest in a world that is anything but peaceful and restful. It's the perfect "pause" button you need!
So please request your copy of Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out when you give online today!  --Jack Graham
