The Irreducible Limits of Tolerance in the Church

Speaker: Pastor Tim Bruns
Scripture: Titus 1:10-16
Series: The Irreducible Gospel

  1. Someone has crossed over the line of truth and tolerance when:
    1. they disregard authority.
      Titus 1:10
    2. they teach what is contrary to truth.
      Titus 1:11, 14; 3:9; 1 Timothy 1:6-7; 6:3-5; 2 Peter 2:1
    3. the fruit of their ministry is spiritual disaster.
      Titus 1:11, 16; 3:9; 1 Timothy 1:3-4; 2 Timothy 2:23
  2. Someone has rightly set boundaries for truth and tolerance when they:
    1. define and defend their core beliefs.
      Titus 1:9; 1 Timothy 1:10b-11, 6:11; Hebrews 5:14-6:1a; Ephesians 4:11-14
    2. correctly confront false teaching.
      Titus 1:11, 13; 3:10; 1 Timothy 1:18-19, 6:12; Romans 16:17; 2 Timothy 2:25-26; 2 Thessalonians 3:14-15
    3. encourage and extend grace toward others.
      Jude 17-23
