Episode Synopsis

This message is about Tolerance vs. Compromise – Standing Firm in Christ. This is an important topic for getting along in an age that some are calling a post-Christian era, that is: tolerance versus compromise—especially as it relates to living out our Christian values in a world that often pushes us to “just go along to get along.” A world that calls us callous or bigoted.  Tolerance, when rooted in love and truth, is good. It means treating others with respect, even when we disagree with them. Jesus showed tolerance when He dined with sinners, spoke with the Samaritan woman, and extended grace to the woman caught in adultery. But He never compromised truth to be accepted. He never compromised his message. That’s the difference. Compromise, when it means softening or surrendering biblical truth to avoid conflict or gain favor, is dangerous. That’s not love—that’s spiritual surrender.
