What good is the stones if you haven’t got a stone mason to shape them out? Confessions is stones. When Peter made his confession, Jesus said, “Thou art Peter, a little stone.” But what good is a stone if there isn’t a stone mason there to shape him into a son of God? You’re just piling up a bunch of rocks. Is that right? It isn’t doing a bit of good. See? The water weareth away the stone. See, that’s right, that’s the people. What good is stones if you haven’t got a true stone mason with a good sharp tool to shape him into the fitting place in the House of God? Just want to ask you, what good’s the decisions, what good you putting your name on the book? What good is come join the church, if the stone mason isn’t there that’ll shape that and make them quit this and that, and cut them and make them over This way, and square them up and make them like Christians that sets in the House of God, with signs following the believers?
That’s end-time evangelism, taking the stones and shaping them. See? 192 What good would the stones be if you just pile them up? Let them lay where they’re at, might do a little better out there than they would pile them up together. They might be needed out there, and none of them out there. See, that’s right. Stone is no good without a stone mason. 193 Jesus counts character, not members. You know that? He counts characters. God has always tried to get one man in His hand. That’s all He needs, is one man, and He’ll do His work through the years.
