Questions are interesting. I was reading a book this week called "Velvet Elvis". It's written by Rob Bell, the guy who does the Nooma Videos. He says "A Christian doesn't advoid questions; a Christian embraces them. In fact, to truly pursue the living God, we have to see the need for questions. Questions are not scary. What is scary is when people don't have any. What is tragic is faith tha has no room for them"

Kyle have us a bunch of questions this week, most of them seemingly simple. Yet, even the simplest questions can lead into really in depth conversation.

I liked the question (I don't quite remember how it went): If "church" as we know it didn't exist, what would you do to connect with other Christians? How often would you meet, where would you meet etc.

For me, it's been a joy to have some people come to my place during the week to talk about God and the Bible, chat about life, and pray together. In a big sense, I think us meeting together like that is church.

Were there any questions that Kyle gave out that stood out to you, or really made you think?

Forgiveness is a strange thing. Kyle and I had a good conversation about what exactly forgiveness is. We felt that it wasn't saying that whatever someone had done to you was okay, and it wasn't that you have to try to be buddy buddy with someone who's wronged you, or someone close to you. But saying that, it was still tough to define what forgiveness is.

In a sense, it's giving a pardon to someone who's done something wrong. That's what Jesus did for us, took our sins which deserved death and forgave them - pardoned us from what we deserve. However, can you forgive someone and still seek that there is justice served? Lots of tough questions, and I'd love to hear what you think about it all. The bottom line is that we're commanded to forgive each other, it is not optional.
