But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.
Today the American church finds itself in a quagmire of compromise and tolerance, which has led to outright sin and the sin of indifference. There can be no mixture of light and darkness in the Christian walk. Pastor Ray goes through this message to the church of Thyatira in Revelation 2 very carefully, along with a host of other scriptures particularly 2 Corinthians 5 and 2 Corinthians 6. We must carefully apply Jesus message to this church to our own hearts and repent if we have indeed been tolerant.
Pastor Ray goes on to share that Jesus equates tolerance (and compromise) with spiritual adultery. A good bit of meat to pray over in the next day or so.
“Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions.”
