Mark Pospisil – Lead Teaching Pastor

There are two important things that we need in our lives that we usually underestimate. The power of encouragement and the power of correction. Jesus has the most to say to the church we are looking at this week. It is the church of Thyatira. He brings them a strong encouragement but also a strong correction. There are some incredible things happening in and through them. The Lord wants them to continue to soldier on and stay the course. But, He has one major thing against them. Some are tolerating perversion and false teaching that is leading them into sin. In one sense, the value of tolerance can be a good thing when we respect others who disagree with us. In another sense, and what is happening here, tolerance is leading to sin. They are accepting, loving, and partaking in things that God hates. Their “tolerance” is really an excuse to do whatever they want. Tolerance can be a sin when it moves from patience and respect for differences into celebration, silence, and taking part in evil. We must be on guard not to follow the course of this world but to follow Christ.
