Tolerance

It’s not unusual for a congregation to ask for a change in the pulpit or leadership, but those in positions of authority refuse to make changes for fear it will cause a split in the church. Personally, I find such reasoning to be Biblically unsound. John said, “To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols” (Rev 2:18-20 NIV).
