I am plagued by questions... questions and questions... so many that most of them are not yet even finished being formed within. I question...
Why do we do what we do? Serious. In every aspect of our lives and walk. Why? What has caused us to believe or model something we've seen? Is it really fact? Is it really truth? Or has it been slightly obscured...tampered with just enough to look fine and normal...but have no real intrinsic value for doing it. Is what we do dictated by society? By pressures of family? By respected members of our community? By government? What dictates to us what we do and how we do it?
Think about this for a moment... Do you seriously believe what you're living? Do you take serious the choices to do or not to do certain things? What basis are those decisions formed upon? Who's model have you chosen to represent?

"...in a postmodern culture, the messenger is the message. How we are perceived is every bit as important as the truths we espouse."
Is what we do really biblical? Serious. Is what we really do defined by what we regard as ultimate truth...the Bible? Or have we revamped areas of normallacy to fit our comfort zones? Have we taken the obscure, colored in the picture to feel pretty, and then added it to our lives? Do you believe in the Bible? Do you really believe what He says about us? Is it literal to you? Or just a figurative story? Do you pick and choose what to uphold and value?
"If we took serious His word, how serious do you think that would transform our lives????"
Just a few of my questions plaguing me today... only a few of the many that some aren't even finished being formed. haha.

T, if there is one thing I LOVE about you it's that you question!! Keep questioning, keep pressing and you'll find the answers. It excites me to see you on this journey, I am also on this journey and the little I have found out has completely changed me. In the end we must answer about how we have used God's word. His entire Word.
Tanya, I love that fact that you question. Its something that is so lost in our lives. We seem to just accept things "because...". Keep searching, and praying for that wisdom you can't help but conceal. He will walk with you as you discover the answers.
Finding any answers to your questions? Or just finding more questions?
"If we took serious His word, how serious do you think that would transform our lives????"
...Now that is an answer that I look forward to discovering moment by moment.
Hi There! Great Post! Where did you get this quote from? "...in a postmodern culture, the messenger is the message. How we are perceived is every bit as important as the truths we espouse." Thanks for your note the other day:) As to your question of what treats I would like you to send...how about yourself? You could fit into a medium size suitcase fairly easy! Miss you -love you
