Is Christianity tolerant? | Psephizo

Is Christianity tolerant? | Psephizo: "I recently gave a short talk to the Nottingham Theology Network, part of UCCF’s work with students, on the question of tolerance.

Christian Politician "Willing to Go to Jail" after Delivering Passionate Speech, Prayer, in Defiance of Court Order: "I'm willing to go to jail over it.

But we're going to be careful all the way to communism if we don't start standing up and saying 'no.'" -Robin Bartlett Frazier, Carroll County "

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Ego?

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Ego?: "I often quote Charles Spurgeon. He went to be with the Lord over 100 years ago, but his amazing words are still bringing life to many. I have often said that small minds use big words to impress small minds and that some of the most educated people in this world are the dumbest people on earth. Spurgeon was both brilliant and simple. He had a vocabulary of 23,000 words. Shakespeare had 23,000 words. If you are average, you have about 13,000 words. Spurgeon had the brilliance to keep it simple so that the simple could understand his brilliant message"

One of the story lines bubbling just below the surface of Dancing With the Stars with this season is whether or not we'll see Candace Cameron-Bure flash the polarizing brand of Christianity her brother adheres to. We got a taste of it last night."
