God has done many things here at Cornerstone Baptist Church. Under the leadership of Dr. George Theroux we have completed…

Today February 2, 2014 started off as a type of day that every Pastor I know of dreads. Temperatures below freezing and a wintry mix of sleet and snow were already present. Already we were looking for a below average attendance, and no one wants that especially when they have a special speaker in to start a conference. Many churches in the area cancelled their church services and spent the day at home with family. Not us at Cornerstone Baptist! What if Jesus would have said, “sorry it is not very easy up on this cross and this cross is not comfortable. I just cannot make this sacrifice for you.” He would not have done such a thing, but when it comes time for us as Christians to really show some sacrifice back to him and faithfully serve him, we say sorry, it is too inconvenient for us. But us at Cornerstone said, Lord let Thy will be done… The Lord blessed and we saw four people trust Christ as their personal Saviour, two people follow the Lord in believer’s baptism, and one rededicate their life to the Lord for his service. God again showed us how he blesses those who faithfully trust in Him. Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
If we really want God’s blessings on our life we are going to have to examine our salvation.
I thank God I’m saved! I thank God I’m going to Heaven when I die! And, I thank God I’m an Independent, Fundamental, Bible-thumping, Baptist preacher! I thank God for a fundamental Baptist church. The Bible is the Word of God. That’s what we preach. We use the KJV by conviction and without apology. Now, what is a fundamentalist? A fundamentalist is somebody who not only embraces the fundamental doctrines of God and is saved, but he opposes that which is evil and wrong and separates from those who are liberals and modernists, who do not hold the fundamentals of the faith. Now a modernist is one who believes in man’s wisdom instead of God’s wisdom. He rejects revealed truth. A liberal is a person who is in step with the world’s views, it’s philosophies of man, who holds man’s views and not God’s views. A liberal is opposite of being a conservative. A liberal Christian is one who won’t stand on much and condemns those who do. And our churches are filled with them…
When you cease from labour, fill up your time in reading, meditation, and prayer
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose!
Missions is the heartbeat of God! Jesus Christ is the greatest missionary of all time. He left the glories of Heaven and came to die for sinful man. He resurrected three days later! When He returned to Heaven, He left the church with the Great Commission to go and reach the world with the Gospel! …
Wow!! What a great month! We have just completed our Fall Harvest Campaign with our Old Fashioned Sunday on the 22nd and we had 109 in attendance with one saved and three baptized! During our campaign we saw 71 first time visitors (39 adults & 32 kids), 7 saved, 6 rededications, 6 baptisms, and 1 joined the church by letter! We have also averaged 91 on Sunday mornings for this past month! What a great time we had! God has been blessing in so many ways! We have several new families in the church and they are getting ‘plugged in’! It’s exciting to serve a God that is still interested in using sinful man to fulfill His will!
