—Malachi 3:1-5
by: Richard Crouch.
In college, I was tolerant of many things-the pigsty my roommates created, drinking, drugs, premarital sex, and even Hari Krishnas. I didn't participate, but I was tolerant, and that was wrong. God is not tolerant of unholiness. He will purify and refine us, but he will not allow us to come into his presence until we are holy. His judgment against the wicked will be swift, so there is no time for tolerance on our part, either. I wasted many opportunities to witness to the unsaved. I pray that God will forgive me and strengthen me so that I can be more effective.
