daily prayer

    Good morning! How are we faithing? Why do the people who yell for tolerance not tolerate any other points of view but their own? Why do they attack a view contrary to their own? That by definition is intolerance. Should we tolerate views contrary to ours? Well lets look at that deeper. If we mean we allow anothers behavior that is contrary to what the Word teaches and not speak out, is that tolerant or passive behavior? If we let injustice go on in the name of tolerance is that proper or even wise? This is such a big issue but as we have learned in past teachings we must hate sin and not the sinner therefore our approach to tolerance must be modified from the worlds view of it. In a public forum, in this country especially, we are free to speak what we believe, vote our conscience and as believers in Christ we must speak truth but in love like the Word says. Because something is legal doesn't mean we must participate or condone the action. Our tolerance of daily events must be based on God first, our role under God, i.e. protecting the innocent etc., our love based on Biblical principles. Protesting at a G I's funeral under the name of God albeit legal is not adhering to the charity principle spoken of in the Word. No one is drawn to Jesus if you are spewing hate and kicking people when they are down. There are other forums to speak opinions. Calling names at a gay rally is not the charity principle spoken of in the Word. Bombing abortion clinics leads no one to a changed mind. See, we must present Christ in all we say and do. We must be Christlike in our daily walks. We must speak truth when appropriate, live what we believe and above all, love the best we can while being quick to pray while dealing with issues or we end up sinning while facing other sin. In my house I will serve the Lord and will not tolerate anything contrary to God's Word. I my house I will watch my behavior, serve God how he teaches me to. In my house I will exercise my right to vote my conscience. In my house I will not knowingly sin or allow sinful things. I do fail and I do ask for forgiveness. In my house I will hate sin and never the sinner. In my house I will protect the innocent. What are you going to do? Will you live for God or man? Do you flip with the world or stay steadfast with God? It's on you man....


remember the Rumers...remember the people you meet because you may be the only light they see...
