Cornerstone Quote by Mark Cahill
““Just remember that if the correct Cornerstone is not properly set as the foundation of your life or church, there will be major problems in the long run. But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. Revelation 2:14 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. John 1:42 Speaking of stones, the Roman Catholic church teaches that Peter was the rock upon which their church was built. No, Peter was just a living stone used as a brick in the building of God. Please keep in mind that a false view of the real Cornerstone can have eternal consequences. Jesus is the true Rock, and Peter is a small stone. Just remember that if the correct Cornerstone is not properly set as the foundation of your life or church, there will be major problems in the long run. The proper placement of Christ in your life will keep things theologically sound and protect you from falling into false teachings.””
