Visiting Upon the Meaning of Life

Stephen Meyer joins Matt Fradd to share how he reached his understanding of the meaning of life. He cites that 56% of young people 18 to 30 years of age acknowledge that they have persistent doubts that their lives have any lasting or enduring meaning. This, he says, is a big reason for young people abandoning atheism and pursuing Christianity.

In the ancient world, when a new stone building was to be constructed, the first stone set in place was the cornerstone. Great care was taken with the carving of the cornerstone since it determined the direction of the walls that were built out from it. The cornerstone was the most important stone in the building.

To the religious leaders of His day, Jesus intimated that He was the “chief cornerstone.” But of what? To what building was Jesus referring when He declared Himself to be the chief cornerstone? He didn’t say, but the apostle Paul did in Ephesians 2:19-22. Jesus initiated the building of what is becoming “a holy temple in the Lord”—that is, the Church of all true believers, also called “the household of God.” Jesus is the chief cornerstone, “the apostles and prophets” are the foundation, and we are the “living stones” (1 Peter 2:5) God is using to build the temple in which His presence dwells.

Everything depends on Jesus; He is the cornerstone that provides direction and structure to the Church. Our faith begins and ends with Him.

CYM Softball games were always such great parish community events for so many years. Green grass, sunny blue skies, good sportsmanship and fellowship were constantly on display. Here are 24 pictures and a video from 2014 that will no doubt bring back pleasant memories!
