Today I read Nehemiah 3 and 4. It is so interesting to me the various tactics that Satan will use to frustrate the work of God. In Nehemiah's time he caused the enemies of God to rise up and try and slay the workers of Nehemiah to kill them and to stop the work that way. In our day and age Satan has tried a much more subtle approach, a misguided interpretation of tolerance. Satan has convinced good people that the right and correct thing to do is not to stand up for what is right, but rather to accept those who see things differently than us and to let them do what they feel is right.
This is a falsehood perpetuated by Satan to frustrate the work of Heavenly Father. As God has told His people all throughout time, there are certain things that are correct and right. For example marriage is between a man and a woman, no other way is acceptable in God's eyes. Satan however has worked hard these past 30 years to the point now that most people think it is acceptable to have marriage between two men or two women. This is false and an abomination in the eyes of God. If you ever want to know if tolerance about a subject is of God, just pray. I promise you that He will tell you. However, a good measuring stick to use is to ask yourself if the act or principle in question is in line with God's commandments. If it is, then it is good to have tolerance. If it is not, then it is of Satan. Let God be your guide. Until tomorrow.
