What is Tolerance?
Acceptance of others as unique expressions of specific character qualities
in varying degrees of maturity.
It's related to the motivational gift of Giving Scripture Text: "Fulfill ye my joy, that ye may be like minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind." - Philippians 2:2 Some of the Attributes: "Accepting others and to be willing to endure their beliefs and actions with which I do not agree." (a.c.e.) "Learning how to respond to the immaturity of others without accepting their standard of immaturity." "Learning to interact with others, in love and peace, regardless of differences." Questions to ask yourself: 1. Do irritations of others cause you to reject opportunities to help them grow spiritually? 2. Do you genuinely love a sinner while hating his sin? Projects and Bible Study Questions to help instill this quality: How did Jesus demonstrate tolerance? Some Believers withdraw from the world and live in communes; others believe that we are to live in the world without being a part of it. Which is the Biblical view? Which takes more grace? What is the difference between "tolerance" and "compromise"? |
