Opening Arguments
How could stones cry out?
Surly the one who opens the mouth of the dumb can cause the stones to have a voice.
Consider Balaam’s ass.
Consider the voice of all creatures.
Consider God’s question to Moses, “Who hath made man’s mouth?” (Ex.
4:11)
Would a stone have something to praise God about?
They could praise him for creating them by the word of his power.
They could praise his wisdom in making them for a purpose.
They could praise him for everything they have seen since creation.
They Could Praise the Breaker
The breaker breaks the rock into the perfect size to be used for a specific purpose.
God’s Word is like a hammer (Jer.
23:29)
He breaks us through humility that we might be fit for his purpose (Ps.
51:17)
He resists the proud and gives grace to the humble (Jam.
4:6)
They Could Praise the Builder
The builder sands, smooths, and polishes the rock so it will be suitable to use for the place he wants it to be.
We are built up as an holy habitation.
(Eph.
2:19-22)
We all have our specific place determined by God.
(Rom.
12:3-8)
We all have a general responsibility toward each other.
(Rom.
12:9-18)
They Could Praise the Covenant Maker
The rock who is raised up for a memorial of a covenant is a testimony of the covenant.
We should be a representation of our Covenant with God.
(1 Pet.
3:15)
Our life should be a testimony of that Covenant.
(1 Pet.
2:11-12)
