There is no God but you; there is no Rock like our God.” 1 Samuel 2:2 (NCV) “The LORD is my rock, my protection, my Savior. My God is my rock. I can run to him for safety. He is my shield and my saving strength, my defender.” Psalm 18:2 (NCV) “We will use these stones to build a memorial. In the future your children will ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’ Then you can tell them, ‘They remind us that the Jordan River stopped flowing when the Ark of the LORD’s Covenant went across.’ These stones will stand as a memorial among the people of Israel forever.” Joshua 4:6-7 (NLT) “In the future your children will ask you, ‘What do these rocks mean?’ Tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan River on dry land. The Lord your God caused the water to stop flowing until you finished crossing it, just as the Lord did to the Red Sea. He stopped the water until we crossed it. The Lord did this so all people would know he has great power and so you would always respect the Lord your God.’” Joshua 4:21-24 (NLT) Terms Learned in This Episode: Rock: A solid object made from nature. Many are made from minerals. Mineral: A natural substance made from nature, such as from the earth’s crust, but not made from living things. A mineral’s atoms (tiny building blocks) are arranged in repeating patterns, forming a crystal structure. Igneous Rocks : Rocks formed from cooled lava. Sedimentary Rocks : Rocks formed from sediments (tiny pieces) of eroded rocks and sometimes once-living organic materials. Metamorphic Rocks : Rocks changed from one form to another by extreme heat and/or pressure. Rockhounding: An activity where people go out and search for and collect rocks, minerals, fossils, or gemstones from nature. Pumice Stone: A lightweight igneous rock formed when lava rapidly cools. Pumice is porous, meaning it has small holes and can float. Quartz Geode: A rock with a crystal cave inside. The crystals are made from a mineral called quartz. The quartz mineral builds up in the hollow inside of a rock to form beautiful crystals inside. Agates: Formed in hollow cavities in rocks from a type of quartz. Minerals are laid down in layers, creating a magnificent striped pattern. This podcast episode contains paid advertisements.
