Charles Warner|Daily Times How to improve the human condition This sign at Cornerstone Baptist Church reminds us that the most important task for Christians is to follow the word of God so that their lives and actions are a living testimony to the truth of how He change lives for the better. It also reminds us that if all Christians did this, the world would be a much better place and that such an improvement would also be a living testimony to how God, when He is obeyed, can improve the human condition. Cornerstone Baptist Church is located on West Main Street in Union.
