OUT OF MY MIND Tim Hughes, Senior Minister

I started this article on March 15, the Ides of March. I don’t know how many of you thought about the famous line from Shakespeare “Beware the Ides of March” or how many of you thought of Julius Caesar, who was assassinated on the Ides of March. The Ides of March has been known in history as a “fateful day.”

We are approaching the Easter Season with Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday only about three weeks away. March is a time of year when Hoosiers have a hard time breaking away from basketball. It’s the time of year when we are getting into our yard work and checking out our air conditioners. At some point, hopefully, we are pausing to reflect on the life and death and resurrection of our best friend, older brother, Savior, and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Immediately after Peter’s confession of faith that Jesus was “the Christ” Jesus began to openly teach the disciples about the concluding events of his earthly life. Mark 8:31 says, “He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.” This prediction was made about a year before those actual events. Other predictions would follow. The disciples were slow to comprehend this. Jesus was to die and his death would be the most meaningful death in history. Jesus had set his sights on the cross. His disciples were barely listening. Are we listening?

Human beings are so unlike Jesus in our death. Jesus willingly laid down his life, it was not taken from him. Jesus died for a purpose like no other. Jesus’ death occurred exactly as he predicted and accomplished what he intended to accomplish. Jesus’ death

is completely unique when compared to other famous deaths.

Simon Critchley has written about the deaths of some of history’s most famous philosophers:

Thomas Hobbes, who wrote that “life is nasty, brutish, and short,” died peacefully in bed at the ripe old age of 91.

Hegel died in a cholera epidemic. His last words were: “Only one man understood me … and he didn’t understand me” (presumably referring to himself).

Roland Barthes was hit by a dry cleaning van.

Jean-Paul Sartre seemed to have a change of heart: prior to his death, this long-time atheist said, “I do not feel that I am the product of chance …. [but] a being whom only a Creator could put here.”

Albert Camus once said that he couldn’t imagine a death more meaningless than dying in a car accident. In 1960, at the age of 47, Camus died in a car accident.

A. J. Ayer, a resolute atheist, choked on a piece of salmon, and technically died. Later he said that this near-death experience provided “strong evidence that death does not end consciousness.” His wife reported, “Freddie has got so much nicer since he died.” Ayer died for good a year later.

Despite the variety of ways to die, Critchley uses a quote from Epicurus to highlight the certainty of death: “Against all other things it is possible to obtain security, but when it comes to death we human beings live in an unwalled city.”

Yes, death has access to us, of that there is no doubt. But Jesus Christ has won the victory over death and the grave cannot hold us.

Thank all of my Cornerstone family for all the cards and phone calls during my last illness. Also thank you all who stopped by hospital and home. It was all ways a blessing to see friend.

Love in Christ, Davie Chapman

Thanks to everyone who prayed for me, visited me in the hospital and at Brownsburg Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. I really appreciated the cards and the phone calls.

Love in Christ, Fred Harrah

Men of Cornerstone Christian Church The eldership is in the process of seeking out men of our congregation who have the desire to be an elder. Has God touched your heart to serve? Are you at the place in your Christian Walk where you would like to help provide vision and direction to Cornerstone at this exciting time when we are seeking to “follow Jesus and show others the way?” If the Lord’s spirit is prompting you in this direction and you’d like to know more about the role and work of an elder please contact Chas LaPierre or any of the other current elders on or before April 8.

Camp Allendale Update Randy just sent an email quarterly report. In 3 short weeks Camp Registration has exploded. Currently, 2260 children have signed up. 76% of the full week beds are filled! Wow! I hope you have been able to get your children registered; it may be too late. Check with Ben right away. The Camp is in the process of hiring summer staff in the areas of Food Service, Programming, and Maintenance. Job applications are available on line, with information on types of open positions. If you have not signed up for the Men’s Retreat, there is still time. Cornerstone already has 5 men signed up that I know about. Information and registration booklets are on the small table in the lobby. It is time to “Man Up.” If we have enough sign up, we will plan on taking the bus to kick off our fellowship time and save you some gas expense.

Remember: “Unless we reach their hearts

today, they will break our hearts tomorrow!”

Camp Allendale Special Project We will try to keep you posted about the special project offering to replace their outdated kitchen equipment (dishwasher and convection ovens). If you have looked at their kitchen lately, you know this should have been taken care of several years ago. It is amazing how well they have worked with this outdated equipment.

Church Administrator David Keith

On Friday, August 17, the African Children’s

Choir will once again be coming to share in song at

Cornerstone Christian Church. The choir previously

visited Cornerstone in September of 2010. It was an

exciting day, and if you missed it the first time

around you want to make sure to be there this time.

Concert times and other information will be

communicated over the summer.

A new class will be announced. This class will include the elements of fellowship, Bible exploration, and discussion. The focus will be on what God has said to us in the Bible and how we can take action on that truth in today’s world. Anyone may attend this new class; however, the class is designed for those who are new to Cornerstone. This class could help you develop the faith you desire, invigorate a faith you already have, or define how you want to grow and serve. You may join this class at any time. Each of the ten sessions is self-contained. The sessions will be repeated throughout the year, so, if you miss a session, you can pick it up the next time the series is presented.

Christian Character Christian Character Christian Character Christian Character (Begins 4/1 @ 9 in room 214) What is it? How do we get it and what does it look like? What does it mean to follow Christ? Are we the same person on Monday as we were on Sunday? What does Christian Character look like and how do we live our faith? What does the Bible say about compassion, humility, faith, perseverance, and truth? These are some of the questions we will tackle during this quarter’s study. Join us at 9:00 am when we study what God has to say about the character He expects from all of us.

Apologetic s and Defending Your Faith Apologetic s and Defending Your Faith Apologetic s and Defending Your Faith Apologetic s and Defending Your Faith (Begins 4/1 @ 9 in room 212) The spiritual questions you and your friends ask---about God, the credibility of the Bible, angels, heaven and hell, and even worship and prayer---are important. In fact, understanding your faith depends on finding answers to those questions, answers that work in the real world and that make sense in real conversations.

The Parables of Jesus The Parables of Jesus The Parables of Jesus The Parables of Jesus (Begins 4/1 @ 9 in room 215) Jesus made extensive use of parables, or short stories, to teach his followers about Kingdom truths. Many of these parables deal with concepts that are timeless in helping us understand our role and responsibility as disciples. If you are under 35 and are looking for a Sunday School class we invite you to join us at 9 am as we study the major parables of Jesus and how we can apply them to our lives today.

Our doctrine identifies and sets forth the basic biblical beliefs we hold dear to our Christian faith. Our basic doctrine outlines what we at Cornerstone believe about the Bible, God, Jesus, salvation, and the origin of all things. This doctrine is the basis of what is taught in our worship and Sunday School.

It begins with the ascension of Jesus and concludes with Paul in Rome during his first imprisonment. In between we study the beginning of the church, the early persecution of the it, the conversion of Saul of Tarsus and Cornelius, the three missionary journeys of Paul, the arrest of Paul and his journey of Paul to Rome.

John: The Gospel that is Different John: The Gospel that is Different John: The Gospel that is Different John: The Gospel that is Different (Begins 4/1 @ 10:30 in room 214) We will continue this study and reveal how different the fourth gospel is from the other three. It omits many things they include, such as accounts of Jesus’ birth, baptism, temptations, parables and ascension, while containing many things the others don’t mention. For example, in John we find details about Jesus’ early ministry and insights into the personalities of some of the disciples. It’s a beautiful book that gives us extra little details about all three years of Christ’s ministry; it reads like memories of one who was there.

Cornerstone is active in the Brownsburg Summer Lunch Bunch program which begins the first Tuesday after classes end for the summer. This year the “lunch bunch” meets every Tuesday from June 5 thru July 31. Kids from the Brownsburg area come to the Town Hall Flag Pole for food, fun, and a book to take home.

This program is structured for children ages 1 to 11. We need picture books for the one through 5 years of age group and chapter books for the children ages 6 through 11. If we average 300 children for the 8 weeks, we will consume 2,400 books. Cornerstone was a major contributor last year. Ask your children if they have a book they want to donate. We will have a collection box in the lobby beginning April thru July.

Cornerstone Mission in Focus Rapha Restoration MinistriesRapha Restoration MinistriesRapha Restoration Ministries

Isaiah 61:1-3

By Karen Jones, team leader

Brent Miller was ordained as a minister

October 25, 1998. He is a certified ministry

leader with Intimate Life Ministries as well as

with Family Dynamics Institute of Nashville,

TN. Barb Miller is a licensed clinical social worker; MSW. She is

also certified in Relational Ministry with Intimate Life Ministries and

is trained to facilitate with Marriage Dynamics Ministries. Brent and

Barb have led many marriage conferences and continue to teach and

mentor as they seek to grow in their relationships with God and

their spouses.

Brent and Barb began their ministry in 1996 after attending a

marriage seminar by Great Commandments Ministry. God placed a

great burden on their hearts to help people heal their marriages. In

2004, Brent and Barb became “missionaries to marriage” and Rapha

Restoration Ministry was formed to bring restoration, healing and

relief of distress to marriages and families; including those

experiencing financial stress and who would otherwise have no

access to such help. The Millers want to help bring reconciliation

through Jesus Christ and the power of God’s word. They explore

God’s design for marriage and family and seek God’s unique

purpose for their lives. Through Rapha, the Miller’s provide

Biblically-based classes, retreats, counseling, crisis relief, mentoring,

equipping, training and intensive care.

The Rapha Cottage, located across from Trader’s Point Creamery,

will be available for three to four day interventions to provide

comfort, rest, renewal, intensive counseling and a personalized

treatment plan for couples who feel they have lost hope for

reconciliation. These couples will receive continued support

through counseling with Brent and Barb and a mentoring couple.

Currently these interventions are meeting at another location until

the Administrative addition is connected to the Rapha Cottage.

Rapha Marriage Retreats in the Fall and Spring each year are

offered at a quiet inn with a rustic setting. These retreats are

designed for couples to focus on one another during nonthreatening,

relaxed sessions which offer tools for renewed communication and
