My daughter recently posted some photos of her visit to Corinth. There she sits among ribbons of crumbling walls backdropped by ancient monolithic pillars. I gasped and thought, If only stones could speak! If rocks could talk… That got me thinking about the role of stones in the Bible. Stacks of random-rock reminders; gems of divination; obelisk monuments or tiny polished treasures; high-rise citadels or hidden places of refuge. And altars! A ton of altars. Our world has changed, that’s for sure. But not God, who seemingly speaks through stones. Let’s dig up some treasures from his rock-talk.
