    What distractions keep you from being an effective witness for Jesus Christ? One of the chief distractions is focusing on the minor differences between us, instead of building each other up in love. Paul takes this topic head-on in Romans 14.

    We’ve been talking about making ourselves available to become like God and be used by God in his Great Story. Have you ever had an important task to do—a paper to write, an assignment at work to complete, a check book that needs to be balanced? As you set yourself to that task, the phone rings, you ...read more

     | 3,632 views

    Struggles to understand the truth of the gospel are not new. The early church record reveals how they also faced and overcame crisis moments.

    Acts 15 tells about the Jerusalem council where the church leaders struggled to deal with an issue that was splitting the early church. If we study carefully this account we see several principles for facing and dealing with issues that can help us today. First let’s read some background, then we ...read more

    ? It concerns division in the church with regards to litigation. Jesus said the world will know we are His disciples by love not lawsuits! Here’s yet another problem Paul encounters.

    The Next Encounter

     | 2,239 views

    God never gives up on us. And it's usually not the first encounter that produces the desired result but it could be the next. Let's see what the bible has to say about the next encounter.

    THE NEXT ENCOUNTER I got a call from a former member who met a young man and as the conversation turned spiritual, the young man mentioned his connection with Cornerstone, unaware the other guy also had a history with Cornerstone. They planned on getting together again and so he called me to get ...read more

    Horizontal Or Vertical Divide

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Feb 18, 2023
     | 1,157 views

    God doesn't divide between us horizontally, that's what we do. God divides between us vertically. Saved or not saved. In Christ or not in Christ. He shows no favoritism, and we shouldn't either.

    Horizontal or Vertical Divide James 2:1-13 Many years ago when Terri and I were living in Bowling Green, KY, we were members of a very large church for a while. This church was so large that they had two of everything—two Sunday morning worship services and two Sunday School services. Now, I have ...read more

    Thank you for inviting me. It’s nice to be invited where people like me for who I am. When I was born they asked, “So, how’s his mother.” And when I got married they said, “My, what a lovely bride” and I have no doubt that the day I die, they’ll probably say, “I wonder how much did he left her.” I ...read more
