Sermons About Tolerance
Christ is the Only Way : Refusing the apple of acceptance
If you are a Christian and believe in Christ it is ok to stand your ground for your faith. Even though this world wants us to believe we need to accept other religions as being true it is ok for us as Christians not to accept other religions. In fact we are told in the Bible that Christianity is the only way. We as Christians need to be tolerant of other religions but not accepting.

Send and Receive
Last week we looked at the incredible story of the welcoming of Cornelius and his household into the family of God. The continued advancement of the Gospel at this time was unheard of. The culture was fragmented and separated by numerous factors working to split up and segregate various groups. Historians tell us that until Christianity, religion always divided people. Religions were always geared towards a particular region, race, or socio-economic class.

Right or Wrong
What would happen if we had no laws? What would happen if everyone simply set their own standards and own agendas for what was right and wrong? Could society survive? Judges 21:25 says: "There was no king in Israel, and everyone did as he saw fit." Our North American culture is not too far removed from that statement. We are told that "no one can tell us how to live;" that our choices and preferences are simply private matters of conscience and that no one has a right to "legislate morality." But where will such thinking take us? Romans tells the story of people who cast off the restraint of God's law, and the chaos that ensued. We would do well to learn from their example. But here's a difficult question: Do we have the right or responsibility to enforce our view of right and wrong on anyone else? Key Passage: Romans 1:18-32

In Essentials, Unity; In Non-Essentials, Liberty; In All Things, Love
Many aphorisms sound great on the surface, but when you examine them further, you realize that they may not be simple when you put them into practice. "In Essentials, Unity; In Non-Essentials, Liberty; In All Things, Love" is like that.

Christians Only, But Not the Only Christians
Part of our historical tradition is the idea that we should seek to be "Christians only," but also realize that we are "not the only Christians." We're called to judge behavior, but not the hearts of fellow believers -- that is God's perogative.
