1 …most of us, in this brash and hasty culture, are more likely to need forbearance and grace for those we believe to be less spiritual, moral, intelligent, or knowledgeable than ourselves.
2-Forbearance isn’t tolerance. Grace is not condescension.
3-Nor are forbearance and grace indecision and cowardice.
4-Remember 1 John 4:20: “Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar.”
5-Lasting political disagreement among Christians is not by itself evidence of sin, unbelief, or any other dysfunction. Reasonable, faithful Christians may in good faith reach different conclusions. They may all have solid biblical support for their views; they may all seek the common good; they may all seek to love their neighbors; they may always disagree.
