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

Everyone Has a Special Place

Jealousy
Everyone Has a Special Place
in this World
The human body with all parts functioning in perfect harmony can do marvellous things. Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 12 of the need for different parts of a body. A foot is designed to bear weight, absorb shock, provide balance and facilitate motion. A hand is designed to manipulate, grasp, feel and gesture. An ear facilitates hearing, direction and balance. An eye detects light, color, movement and shape. Each of these parts of the body has a separate function, yet each needs the other. So too do churches need the wise, the knowledgeable, the faith-filled, healers, the miraculous, those who proclaim and those who are discerning. In multicultural environments, it is also good to have those who can speak and interpret various languages. Bible scholars who know something of the ancient languages are also valuable. Everyone has a special place.
