Sunday, September 18, 2016 at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, we opened our Bibles to Deuteronomy 27: 1-8 to enter a story about stones and an altar and we were led to ponder the nature of God. In this passage, Moses offers instruction to the people of Israel on how they should set up the law on large stones and build an altar to the Lord when they cross into the Promised Land. We are reminded from the imagery chosen of the permanence and strength of the unchanging God and are pointed to the dependability and safety found in Christ, our Rock. In a culture bent on updating and revamping, the steadfast nature of God and His Word may seem obsolete. In reality, the ancient words we hear from the Living God hold the same transformative power today. We find immutable truth in the One who became flesh and rolled the stone away, offering us eternal life through His redeeming blood. Listen to the whole story here.
