THERE IS NONE OTHER
GOLDEN TEXT:
Isaiah 28:17 – Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD,
Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried
stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he
that believeth shall not make haste.
The Church was founded on God’s Doctrine; delivered
by the prophets of the Old Testament, and the apostles
of the New. This foundation is a tried stone, a chosen
stone, fully able to support His Church and anything
the world may throw in its path. It’s a sure foundation
on which to build: precious in the sight of the Lord.
“Upon this rock I will build my church.” Christ himself
is the Rock, the tried foundation of the Church. Woe to
any that attempt to lay any other. Hold onto the Truth
and preach nothing else! Corrupt opinions and
doctrines have no place in His Church. People can lie to
themselves and others; but there is a day coming that
will show their actions in the true light, without
covering or disguise. All must consider their ways and
compare them with God's Word.

Matthew 21:42 – Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never
read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders
rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this
is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
The Bible tells us that Christ is the Chief Cornerstone
AND Head of the Church: not man. Many have chosen
not to submit to Christ’s Doctrine or His authority,
choosing instead to despise Him and cast Him aside as a
despised stone. But Christ knows who will bring forth
the True Gospel. As the firm Foundation and
Cornerstone of His Church, we must be willing to follow
Him and make Him our God.
Acts 4:11 – This is the stone which was set at nought of
you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
The very one the world crucified made our Salvation
possible. Today many are just as bad as those that
murdered the prophets and crucified Christ. All must
be saved by that same Jesus or perish forever. Instead
they desire to live according to their lusts, without
reprove! But when corruption rules within, men shut
their eyes, and close their hearts against the light;
considering all as ignorant and unlearned. The name of
Jesus is given whereby all men can be saved from the
wrath to come.
Job 38:4 – Where wast thou when I laid the foundations
of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

“Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or
who laid the corner stone thereof.” God created the
earth, the sea and every thing in it. “Where wast
thou?” God shows men their ignorance. The work of
creation can never be broken; and the work of
Redemption is just as firm, of which Christ Himself is
both the Foundation and the Corner-stone: a stone,
firm and fully able to support His Church: a tried stone,
a chosen stone, approved by God.
1 Peter 2:6 – Wherefore also it is contained in the
scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone,
elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be
confounded.
“The stone which the builders disallowed, the same is
made the head of the corner.” Many don’t consider
what this Scripture means or its necessity. The world
may be falling to pieces, but those who built on this
foundation have nothing to fear. They shall not be
confounded. Though despised and hated for His sake
we must be willing to follow Him and let Him be our
Ruler. Christ is the only foundation of hope for
escaping the wrath to come.
Acts 4:12: Neither is there salvation in any other: for
there is none other name under heaven given among
men, whereby we must be saved.

To make light of the approaching Judgment is a grave
mistake. He who rests all his hopes, and his neverdying Soul on the foundation which His Church is built
upon, shall never be disappointed. Though once in
darkness, they are called into a state of joy, pleasure,
and prosperity. Many consider not the necessity to
partake of the Salvation Christ has wrought. All whom
God has chosen are distinct from the world: of another
spirit, principle, and practice; which they could never
be, if they had not been chosen. Let all who have
obtained Mercy, walk as His people. Christ's name is
Wonderful and the Redemption He made possible is the
most amazing of all God's wondrous works.
