Raise the issue of tolerance among professing Christians and almost immediately, you divide a room into two sides. Liberals insists that affirming diversity and the right to hold one's own opinion is critical to any definition of freedom and, therefore, the only Christian option. They contend America's founders, helped by Baptists, died for this principle.
Conservatives agree that no one can enslave another's conscience.
There is if we will follow through on a simple truth. A life changed by the power of God will be brought into conformity with the will of God. Christians on the conservative side of the struggle over the culture, myself included, need to remember America is a mission field not a battle field. Paul planted churches in a Greco-Roman society that was more hostile to the claims of Christ than ours is. You and I need to share Christ humbly and boldly with those who disagree with us.
