Hey everyone, welcome to Pastor Rick Warren's Daily Hope.

Now we're going to continue our series today called Building My Life on Values That Last.

And Rick will press on and show us how we benefit when we apply the biblical principles of trust,

self-control, balance, respect, forgiveness, moral purity, fairness, honesty, and love to our lives.

All right, let's join Rick as he shares the final part of a message called

Choosing My Standard.

The Bible teaches that as believers... called Choosing My Standard.

The Bible teaches that as believers as Christians, we are to be tolerant.

We should never treat people like animals or less than human.

Even the worst criminal are the worst person that has the most immoral lifestyle

were to treat them with love and dignity. Jesus did. Jesus accepted people

without approving of their lifestyle. He didn't say, oh do whatever you want, it doesn't matter,

it did matter, but he did treat them with dignity. And so we're called to be tolerant

in that way, but tolerance doesn't mean that anymore. Tolerance now means... that that every life is equally true, that every lifestyle is equally right.

And that is not right, that is false.

It is not true that every lifestyle is equally valid.

It is not true that every idea or thought or belief is equally true.

Because truth is narrow.

Now, this idea of well, all ideas are equally valid and they're all the truth even

when they contradict each other.

The ultimate expression of that, the extreme expression of that is called political correctness. And I know you're familiar with that one.

God has something to say about this kind of nonsense.
