Tolerate Nothing

What is needed in today’s world is a little more intolerance. Intolerance of sin. Intolerance of evil. Intolerance of wrong philosophy and bad doctrine. Intolerance of inferior cultures and false religions that are hostile to American culture and the Christian faith. Intolerance of unbelief, and militant atheism that hates Christians and Christianity. Where is it writ that we have to tolerate any of it? And of course, the tolerance is always one-sided, as our enemies, for enemies they are, have no tolerance whatsoever for our faith or even our existence. We are commanded to be compassionate, we are commanded to forgive, we are commanded to pray – we are never commanded to tolerate. I tolerate nothing.

“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Let all your things be done with charity.” 1 Corinthians 16:13-14
