The Stones: Recent Episodes
Floyd Foster
"The Stones" is a ministry of Living Stones Fellowship. We speak to relevant topics through a biblical worldview.
What about the covenant between God and Abraham, and how that ties with the Mosaic covenant, and what does that mean for us today? And why do the Jews not believe Christ is God? And if they are God’s chosen people, then why do they reject Christ? And what does that all mean?
Colossians 1:1-12
“MANY PEOPLE TODAY, LIKE THE FALSE TEACHERS AT COLOSSE, WILL GIVE JESUS CHRIST A PLACE OF EMINENCE, BUT THEY WILL NOT GIVE HIM HIS RIGHTFUL PLACE OF PREEMINENCE. HE IS NOT A “GREAT MAN AMONG GREAT MEN”; HE IS GOD’S SON, PREEMINENT IN ALL THINGS! IN THIS FIRST CHAPTER, THE APOSTLE DECLARES CHRIST’S PREEMINENCE IN SEVERAL AREAS OF LIFE.”

Are the stories in the Bible literal, or figurative? For example, was there really a talking bush? Was the serpent in the garden an actual talking snake? Or something else?
How do we rectify the idea that miracles, talking snakes and bushes, and parting seas aren’t happening in the world we live in? Why aren’t they? And what does that tell us about the literalism of the stories of the Bible?
Brian McIntosh: I’ve been thinking quite a bit about COVID and how that fits into Gods plan for us, and the Gospel. But not just COVID… all illness, accidents, things humans don’t do intentionally but just happen. And what does the scripture say about that? What does it say about how we are to deal with it? And does the scripture give us any direction with how to deal with the political division that has been resulting from all this?
Luke 24:44-45
We can know who Jesus is, but until our theology (how we think) about His plan and purpose is correct, effective evangelism will be very limited.
Select scriptures.
Let's talk about the existence of the Devil, and how it affects our everyday lives.
Luke 24:44-49
All believers have a responsibility to evangelize. We must not confuse the means with the Goal. Our spiritual growth is a means to more effective evangelism.

God flooded the earth pretty early on in the scheme of things. But He chose to repopulate the earth and have a do-over if you will. Why?
-
Wouldn’t man just be doomed to repeat the same mistakes and turn corrupted again? And if so, why do it again?
-
If He knew we would just go bad again, why wipe man out the first time? Why not just let it play out. What do the scriptures say about all this?
-
How does all this fit into the plan of the Gospel? It’s clearly everything that needed to happen for man’s salvation through Christ, but how does it contribute to the whole story?
1 John 2:15
What does John mean when he warns his readers to “not love the world”?
How does one love the world?
How is John defining the word “world”?
