About this listen

 Earth, Wind & Fire’s 1979 song In the Stone was never written to teach the Bible. Yet its lyrics echo truths that Scripture has already established—truths about love, light, strength, and permanence. God often leaves His mark where men never intend to place it. In this episode, Scott Mitchell examines the lyrics of In the Stone through the Word of God and shows how biblical truth is fixed, unchanging, and written in the stone—Jesus Christ, the chief cornerstone. Key Scriptures (KJV) Psalm 118:21–241 John 4:7–111 Thessalonians 4:16–17John 14:6–7Matthew 21:42–44John 1:1–4John 1:9–13Ephesians 6:10–13Daniel 2:34–351 Corinthians 10:1–4Hebrews 13:5–6Matthew 28:20Daniel 2:44–45Exodus 12:12Exodus 3:13–14 All Scripture quotations are from the King James Version. Word Study: “Stone” Hebrew: אֶבֶן (eben) — “stone” Meaning includes: Common stone, precious stone, memorial stoneTool, weapon, weight, or plummetSacred marker of God’s help and presence Contained in eben are two words: אָב (ab) — Fatherבֵּן (ben) — Son Father and Son are found in the word “stone.” Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone, and He and the Father are one. Song Focus “In the Stone” Written by Allee Willis, David Foster, Maurice White Lyrics examined in light of Scripture include: “Love is written in the stone”“Truth is written in the stone”“The light is shining”“Strength is written in the stone”“Never you’ll be alone” Though written as a dance song, its words echo biblical truths about Christ as: The Light of the worldThe Rock of salvationThe Cornerstone rejected and exaltedThe One who never leaves His people Teaching Highlights Truth is not shaped by culture—it is fixed by God.Jesus is the stone the builders rejected, now the cornerstone.The Light that shines is not philosophy—it is Christ.Strength comes from the Lord, not self.God’s promises are permanent and unchanging.Daniel’s stone cut without hands points to Christ’s coming Kingdom.No one stands neutral before the Stone—you either stand on Him or fall against Him.

But God does not need permission to leave His fingerprint on human creativity. The song In the Stone speaks of love, truth, light, strength, and permanence—realities that belong fully to Jesus Christ. Christ is the Stone. He is the Cornerstone. He is the Rock of salvation. Truth does not change. Truth does not bend.
