This month, the Awesome Marriage, we're talking about culture taps that can affect your marriage. So obviously, culture influences all of us,

but as Christians, we often need to fight some aspects of culture in order to live life

God's way. So all month long, we've been talking about common culture traps that can plague

marriages. Today, we're going to be talking about one trap that all of us want to say we don't fall into,

but I think probably all of us do, which is that we shouldn't accept those who think differently

than we do. So Dr. Ham, where do you see culture telling us not to accept others who think different

from us? Yeah, just almost everywhere. You know, it really is. It's there all the time. This

person thinks different, this person. And we think, well, we just kind of reject that. We should

just all be just like us, you know. Social media, I think is the place that we see that come out

a lot. And so we'll, I'll unfriend them because they don't think, right, or we'll fight with

them a little bit on social media. And then if they don't come around or away, then, okay,

you're not my friend anymore, or we'll block their number or, you know, the media does the same thing. We have so much information now.

And I think that's where it gets into us because in reality, people have different

opinions about things, you know.

And the hard part is, I think, as Christians, Christians have different opinions about

things.

Absolutely.

And that we all, and one Christian can think they're right and another think they're right.
