A THOUGHT ABOUT TOLERATION
by Dr. Robin Starbuck

I just don’t think Christians are anywhere near tolerant enough – OF EACH OTHER !! . This simply should not be! . We’re all doing our level best to represent Jesus; but some of us act like we have THE LAST WORD !! . When was the last time we felt a deep loving appreciation for our brother who doesn’t see endtimes or communion or politics exactly as we do?
I was recently raked over the coals for being too open-minded!! . Sounds oxymoronic to me, but let me love in return. Whatever your path is, whatever your calling . . . that’s YOUR calling, your way, and it most certainly doesn’t fit every one of us! . Lack of forgiveness is the greatest enemy to a healthy mind and body. Let’s dump our own opinions about how another person ought to be conducting their ministry once and for all. Let’s ask Jesus to enable us to let go of all COMPETITIVENESS – which necessarily emanates from FEAR – and harness our God-given love for everyone in its stead!
