“We can always find something to be thankful for, and there may be reasons why we ought to be thankful for even those dispensations which appear dark and frowning.” –Albert Barnes

“If I were doing something that the Bible condemns, I have two choices. I can straighten up my act, or I can somehow distort and twist and change the meaning of the Bible.” –Dr. Jerry Falwell
“I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as Im onward bound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heavens table land,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where those abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heavens table land,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
I want to live above the world,
Though Satans darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heavens table land,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray ’till Heavn I’ve found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heavens table land,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
“The ultimate goal of theology isn’t knowledge, but worship. If our learning and knowledge of God do not lead to the joyful praise of God, we have failed. We learn only that we might laud, which is to say that theology without doxology is idolatry. The only theology worth studying is a theology that can be sung!” –Sam Storms

Scripture: Acts 1:8-11; Revelation 5:9
It could be said, if we want a stronger missions outreach. We have to strengthen the home-front which is the local church and to strengthen the home-front we have to strengthen and challenge individual believers.
This is driving force behind what we do!
Corner Stone Baptist Church exists to glorify God
by bringing people into a relationship with Him through
the Lord Jesus Christ, to unite them with the local church,
to develop them to Christ-like maturity, and to equip them
for their ministry in the home, the church, and the world.
