The Age of Tolerance

Tolerance in America goes a little something like this we are tolerant of your views as long as they agree and align with ours. If they do not then we have a major issue! Also don't just agree help us change the law if you dare disagree with this you're a hater!

Billy Graham Puts it this way:

"One of the pet words of this age is tolerance. It is a good word, but we have tried to stretch it over too great an area. We have applied it, too often, where it does not belong. The word tolerant means liberal and broad-minded. In one sense, it implies the compromise of one’s convictions, a yielding of ground upon important issues.such as: divorce, the use of alcohol, delinquency, wickedness in high places, immorality, crime and godlessness. We have been sapped of conviction, drained of our beliefs, and we are bereft of our faith."

We live in an age where if you don't infringe on your beliefs to suit others you're a hater. Let me ask you something are you a puppet or an individual? Why do you make the choices that you make or dress and eat the way that you do.? Are those truly your decisions or have you been programmed by advertisements people,and the media that that is what you should do? 
If you're a Christian are you living and acting like one? To become comfortable in sin and agree with the world system is to essentially lose your faith.(Revelation 3:14-22)

Adrian Rogers said"It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts, and then heals, than falsehood that comforts, then kills. It is not love, and it is not friendship, if we fail do declare the whole counsel of God. It is better to be hated for telling the truth than to be loved for telling a lie. It's better to stand alone with the truth than to be wrong with a multitude."

Many times standing up for what you believe or changing your way of life will not earn you an award or congrats, but persecution. America doesn't offer the type of persecution where you die or suffer horrible torture, but the subtle and exclusive kind,the look that says more than a million words.The kind where you wake up and you're excluded,you've mysteriously lost your job or have tons of negative comments on your social media or a lack thereof, the kind where your face is plastered on  newspapers with the words BIGOT or HATER or HOMOPHOBE in bold letters for simply stating a bible verse or moral statement.

However if you stand on the truth like a rock unmovable and steadfast this will be your end result.
You will ultimately succeed with truth rather  temporarily succeed with a lie."
As long as we have freedom of speech and religion, as long as the bible is true, as long as Jesus Blood on the cross is real :I declare that no Christian should stand down on what they believe, nor live a lukewarm life,but be unashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ and shine like a beacon in this world with love and truth, not just with your mouth, but with your heart and your lifestyle,because people watch more than they hear.

BE BOLD

 1 Corinthians 16:13 Remain alert. Keep standing firm in your faith. Keep on being courageous and strong!
