We are now more tolerant of sin than ever before in the history of this great nation. This is not to our credit. Even the church, to a large degree, has become far too tolerant.
Hell rejoices. Heaven weeps.
Numbers 33:55 says, “If ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land where in ye dwell. Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.” Wow! We better sit up and take notice!
Men, tolerance on the surface may appear to be a good thing, especially if we tolerate harmless behavior of others that may be of a different race or culture. We should tolerate the fact that people may dress differently, eat differently and speak with a different accent.
However, we must never tolerate anything that would be harmful to our personal and family values. We cannot tolerate that which threatens our physical health, and more importantly, that which threatens our moral and spiritual health. We cannot tolerate that which flies in the face of our nation’s constitution.
We live in a time when it is becoming increasingly difficult to speak up and stand up for the things we must not tolerate because of so-called political correctness. The truth is that what may be politically correct is so often biblically incorrect.
Men, we must teach our families that tolerance of any besetting sin or negative behavior in our own personal lives or the nation will eventually become a prick in our eyes, a thorn in our side and a vexation to us and our families. If we tolerate such sins as abortion and homosexuality, God will eventually do to us what He would do to them!
Be encouraged to stand up! Colin
