Just around the corner is our Valentine's Day Banquet. With 95 tickets sold, this promises to be a great evening for everyone!

A great meal and a lot of laughs with Christian comedian, Doug Wood, topped off with good fellowship around the tables. Child care is provided so that you have no excuse not to come. We start at 7pm sharp here at Cornerstone Baptist church and should be done by 9pm.

I guarantee, you won't want to miss this event.

"That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children." (Psalm 78:6) Each generation of people tends to regard its own times as the most significant of all, toward which all past history has been merely a preparation. The fact is, however, that God has "been our dwelling place in all generations" (Psalm 90:1), and He is equally concerned about any generations yet to come. This is why He stresses repeatedly that the great truths concerning God's creation, His character, His great work of salvation, and His long-range plans for the ages to come be transmitted faithfully from one generation to another. "One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare
thy mighty acts" (Psalm 145:4). Our modern scientific generation almost idolizes new research, new gadgets, new discoveries, and new amusements. The God of eternity, however, is not so concerned that we develop new ideas as that we not lose those precious truths which He has already given us. "For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth" (Psalm 119:89-90). Christ said: "That which ye have already hold fast till I come." "Hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown" (Revelation 2:25; 3:11). The great principle of true education is given by Paul in 2 Timothy 2:2: "The things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also." The great account of Christ's crucifixion, especially, is to be taught forever. "They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this" (Psalm 22:31). HMM

40 hours and counting! David Crain will kick off our Revival meetings this Sunday morning at 11am. We continue Sunday night at 6pm, and then Monday through Wednesday evenings at 7pm each night.

Set aside everything else and make it a family priority to be at Cornerstone for every service. Invite a friend, neighbor, or a co-worker to each service. Time and eternity will only tell what happens this coming week. Let's pray that God will open up heaven's windows and pour out showers of blessing upon us.

I just picked up a van load of laminate flooring for our new nursery; 400+ sq ft of laminate and the moisture barrier to go under it. Crews have been working to finish the taping and mudding of the drywall and the walls should almost be ready for texture and painting. Window glass has been ordered and the doors are already on site.

We are on target to get this finished for the first Sunday of March, the dedication and the grand opening. Isn't God good? Take just a minute, right now, and thank Him for his grace and love towards us, will you?

The Gideon's invited pastors from area churches to their annual Pastor Appreciation Banquet tonight. I hadn't planned on coming back down until Saturday but didn't want to miss it. Our own deacon, Kenneth Brooks, hosted the table I was seated at and was quite informative in explaining some of the workings of their local "camp."

Had a great time, heard some fantastic testimonies, and enjoyed a wonderful meal.

I just couldn't pass up this cartoon I came across earlier today. Here it is ... enjoy!

The stain and the first clear coat has been applied to our New Welcome Center. A little sanding, another coat of clear coat applied and then we install the Granite countertop!

It is already beautiful and the countertop will complete it. What a fantastic area to welcome our visitors and guests!

The new cribs, changing table, and mattesses have arrived for our new nursery! I don't know about you but I am getting excited about the first Sunday in March when we dedicate our Nursery and have our Grand Opening.

God bless you and thank you for your continued faithful giving to meet the needs of our growing congregation.

No ... we're not going to watch the televisions series, but we are going to study the book of Numbers in the Old Testament tonight!

I believe our study will be every bit as interesting (or more so) than the TV series. Strange stuff tonight ... bread from heaven magically appears ... a snake on a pole, and probably most unusual is the encampment of the Children of Israel in the wilderness.

Be here ... Cornerstone Baptist Church ... tonight at 6:30pm.
