Peripatetics: The Art of Walking
Monday, July 11, 2005
Two days ago I asked you readers to solicit questions in the spirit of Pastor Tim's current sermon series, I'd like for you to use the "comments" section to ask questions that I can be addressing in the next 5 days. Anything.
Anything at all...preferably related to theology, the Bible, student ministry...stuff like that.
Go ahead.
Don't be scared.
No, really. This time I'm serious...otherwise it's gonna be quotes from stuff I'm reading. Seriously. For real.

I have three nephews 17, 15 and 12 who attend a very highbrow religious oriented school in London. All have decided, much as I did at about the same age, that this (Jesus is the Son of God) whole thing is a great big lie perpetrated by those who would control them. They're very interesting to talk to as they are all very well read both in the bible and in books that support their ideas. Any suggestions on questions to ask them to help plant seeds. I'll be spending the week of the 16-23 rd, with them as well as my other nephs and neices ages 23-12 all who are pretty certain that as fun as their aunt is, she's pretty much crossed over to the "dark" side of adulthood.
You could try to tackle the art of listening to God. Like, how do you know if God is directing your thoughts or if you're just making it up in your head because thats what you want God to say. Did that make sense?
That makes perfect sense to me, I struggle with this very question and I have no doubts about either God or Christ. But what about if you have decided, even if it's just to be contrary, you don't believe?
