Random pictures on the internet - BEWARE

I meet with the Assosor’s Office of Alameda County tomorrow (September 6, 2018).  I will defend Cornerstone Fellowship against the force of government.  When the San Leandro Times reporter called the county, they talked to a Brian Hitomi.  Mr. Hitomi said that I was renting rooms in a commercial way.  People may wonder what evidence or proof the county has for this accusation.  All the county has are some pictures that were posted online.  People said that the event was held at my church and put my phone number for others who might want to hold their event at my church.  My name was not on the pictures.  There was no date on the pictures.  I do not own the pictures.  In a court of law, these pictures would never be allowed as evidence because their origin cannot be determined.  

Yet some bored county employees just started googling things and they found some random pictures and that allowed them to accuse me of renting rooms (not one room, but plural rooms) in a commercial way, whatever that means.  Any for-profit business that relied on random people posting random pictures on the Internet, is a business that will fail quickly.  


God will win, God always wins.  The county is insignificant in the hands of God.  May God show his power tomorrow as I defend myself against random pictures on the Internet.

On the other hand, let me warn you...no one is safe.  Google posts every picture it can find on the Internet.  If some law enforcement agent was randomly googling things and came across a picture that looked like someone committing a crime, and then if those law enforcement agents broke down someone's door and arrested them because of one random picture, those cops would be laughed out of the court room.  Yet nameless, faceless, unelected bureaucrats can do the same thing and they are praised for it and given bonuses.  God help America.

Remembering the Franklin Day Planner

This week I have been rereading Hyrum Smith's book "The 10 Natural Laws of Productivity and Happiness." This book was written in the late 1980s and I remember reading it for the first time when I was working at Seagate Technologies, after my time in the Air Force. The core tool talked about in the book is the Franklin Day Planner . I remembering having one such planner, long before smart phones and Palm devices. Mine was a leather bound loose-leaf binder with calendar and note pages in it. I kept my daily tasks list and appointments in that binder, which became a record of my work history at Seagate and beyond. The Day Planner binders, pages and supplies were sold at a store called Franklin Quest , which was located at Valco Mall in Sunnyvale. At that time, I was a computer programmer. I was able to keep a record of all request for software, who made the request and when and what the requirements were. It seemed that I was the only one keeping a record of this b...

Cornerstone Fellowship

Cornerstone Fellowship started preaching truth in 1946, right after WW II.  It has been a light in a changing community and a changing world for the past 70 years.  Currently I am the pastor of Cornerstone.  My name is Michael L. Wilson.  It is my goal to preach truth and to explain truth to all who attend.   We subscribe to the reformed view of Christianity which includes the  Five Solas , or the five foundational "only" beliefs.   If you are looking for a Christ Centered church, let me recommend  Cornerstone Fellowship

Thoughts on Seeking God’s Kingdom

“Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.” This statement is found in the Bible in Matthew 6:33. Jesus was just finishing up the Sermon on the Mount. This teaching on anxiety is between as statement that a person cannot serve God and money at the same time and a statement on rightly judging. The teaching on anxiety is found in Matthew 6:25-34. It is the largest block of teaching in the sermon on the mount. Jesus gives this teaching building on the previous teachings. If you are serving God and not the things of this world, and if you are doing things for God, and not for the praise of this world, then do not be anxious for your life. The people that Jesus was talking to were poor. Not poor by today’s standard but dirt poor. Those who worked got paid every day. That daily pay was used to buy food for that day. When that food was gone, there was no more until they worked the next day. Most people had one or two pieces of clothing that would be patched and stitc...
