What You Tolerate Will Eventually Control You

I was speaking to a Marine and he said once he left the military, like, everything started shifting. Like, his standards started dropping. He started compromising one thing at a time, and it used to bother him, uh, but now he's like, I just tolerate it. And now I'm realizing what I don't hate, I tolerate. And that's the truth. That's what it is on every single person. What you don't hate, you tolerate. And as a man, we can't tolerate deception. We can't tolerate a lie. We can't tolerate not honoring our word. We can't tolerate not working with all of our heart. Proverbs 4:23 says, above all else, guard your heart, for everything else flows from it.
