Tolerate or Endure?

What you can tolerate you cannot change. There is a difference between tolerating something that is wrong, and enduring a wrong.

The things you cannot change, you must endure. The trial of a sickness that even though you pray, you do not see change, must be endured. I speak of a hardship that comes to all in this fallen world.

You do not endure evil. You take authority over it. A demon must not be tolerated. You take authority over it.

With the Lord's help, people can change if they want to. If they do not want to, or are unwilling to pay the price of change, then know this, you are not called to tolerate their evil.

2Ti 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
