Seats Available for Prayer 2012, The "new" tolerance, Subscribe to Mailinglist (Pastoral Emphasis for 9/30)

We still have seats available for Prayer 2012: a City-Wide Prayer Rally on 10/16 at Memorial Auditorium. To reserve a seat with our group from Mt. Zion, sign-up online.

We are nearing the end of Project: Witness To Thy Neighbor.  It can be difficult to share our faith. Sometimes when opportunities arise to share our faith, we shrink back because we don't want to be intolerant.  There are now two types of tolerance.
  • The old tolerance is the belief that other opinions have a right to exist. 
  • The new tolerance that has arisen, however, is defined as the belief that all opinions are equally valid or true. It is one thing to say something has the right to exist; it is quite another to say that two beliefs are equally valid. 
I want to encourage us to share our faith despite the fact that we might be labeled "intolerant" with this new definition of tolerance.  Let's understand the difference between the two types of tolerance so that we can lovingly correct those who would label us "intolerant". 

I'll be emailing an article with more details about this to the church's mailinglist this week.  If you are not on our email list, you can get subscribed by emailing the church office at info @ mtzioncary.org with "subscribe" in the subject.

Next week, I'm starting a new series for the month of October called "The Treasure Principle". We will be looking at stewardship and where our true treasure should lie.
