As Jesus is the cornerstone upon which the Church is built, so are his teachings the unifying cornerstone of Christian doctrine.

Alphabet Soup Salvation

The god of education is often touted as the way to salvation for our planet and its many troubles. Yet, just a generation ago, one of the world's most educated nations, Germany was engaged in some of history's worst atrocities. And so today, our beautiful world is run by highly intelligent people with alphabet soup after their names: PhD, MD, MBA and so on. Have these wonderfully talented and incredibly bright people solved the problems of war, starvation and atrocity? No. They can't. Education is wonderful, and extremely profitable, but it is not the way to salvation for our weary planet and its insurmountable problems. There is someone who has exclusive franchise rights on that commodity. As the Bible says, "there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12 NASB)
