Dear Young Christian,
We are living in a world where it is looked upon as a virtue to be able to compromise and to accommodate many points of view. It is called tolerance. We are taught that there are no absolutes and that we shouldn’t make strong, positive statements of fact, but rather just suggest possibilities for consideration and debate.
However, this is not God’s way when it comes to the truth of Scripture and His principles for holy living. He has set forth His standard, and the only way of blessing and happiness is to read it, believe it, and obey it. The Bible is one book that is not open for debate, concession, or differences of opinion.
If you want to have stability in your Christian life and be useful to the Lord, remember, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
