Tolerance is in short supply these days – especially with the people who are always preaching tolerance. I hope I didn’t just condemn myself there.
This week we will discuss the problems tolerance brought to the church in Thyatira back in the day, and that might pop up in our churches today; the crazy beliefs we will accept in our heroes, and whether that’s a good thing; the secret to dealing with selfish people, both on the road and in the pew; and the game I was glad to play once with my daughter, who loves me too much to ask me to play again.
