For TYK ... Joshua 4:1-9

And it came to pass, when all the people had completely crossed over the Jordan, that the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying: “Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from every tribe, and command them, saying, ‘Take for yourselves twelve stones from here, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where the priests’ feet stood firm. You shall carry them over with you and leave them in the lodging place where you lodge tonight.’” Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the children of Israel, one man from every tribe; and Joshua said to them: “Cross over before the ark of the Lord your God into the midst of the Jordan, and each one of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’ Then you shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.” And the children of Israel did so, just as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the midst of the Jordan, as the Lord had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there. Then Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood; and they are there to this day.

Sure these stones represent heritage ... yet ironically the stones that Joshua was instructed to lay down as a memorial of course are landmarks to God being their salvation and bringing them to the land of Promise ...

Yet these stones also represent an entire older generation that did not enter the land of Promise, including their leader Moses .... except for Joshua and Caleb, of course.

They went around in circles for 40 years in a dry desert.

Dan you beat me to what I was trying to look up

Your sword is sharper than mine, sadly that doesn't take alot! I'm working on that though

I didn't quite remember what it was until MZ reposted the area of text, but that was EXACTLY what i was thinking 3 weeks ago when he preached it in Texas. I even told my g/f something along the lines of what you just said.

You put it better though hehe.

I was going to research a bit and post my thoughts later! Saved me some time.

I love that portion of scripture.

Graham makes good points about racism in the Church ...

Is the Church just the UPCI, Scott? You alluded to this as if that's what you mean ... you'd said you would go to the mat for your brother?? ... is PAW your brother? Is GNCM your brother? Is a non-denominational one step church your brother?

My mom took me to LA campmeeting a few times when I was a kid. It doesn't look any different.

Anyone notice the big old TV sitting close to the pulpit?
