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

In Step With God: Understanding His Ways and Plans for Your Life
In Step with God
In Matthew 11:16-30 we read an allegory of children in a public square calling out to one another and arguing over whether to play funeral or wedding. In the Church we sometimes argue over what kind of worship music to play. Some Christian music sounds like a dirge and some sounds like a party. Perhaps like the children in the marketplace, we also cry out to God about our music choice, but he is not concerned? Are we like that generation who criticized John the Baptist and Jesus as being out of step with God because of legitimate lifestyle choices? Is the kind of music we play unimportant to God? Are such things petty outward matters of personal taste? Could it be that what really gets us in step with God is what’s going on in our hearts — repentance?
