Are there moments in life when you sit and ponder questions like...
What should I conclude with capital punishment?
What about Abortion?
Women in Ministry?
Does the Creator save all?
Tough questions that make you... cringe to have to face and think about.
I have a blog friend who is confronting these issues on their blog right now. A series called CHRISTIANITY THAT MAKES ME CRINGE (see following link for one of the posts): http://www.thescandal.org/2011/05/christianity-that-makes-me-cringe-women.html
I'm not say that their opinion is fact and is agreeable or disagreeable... but these are questions that might pop up in your life and what do you conclude to? Do you take the popular vote? Do you go with what the friend next to you says so you don't get flogged?
Here are a few Survival Tips for Tough questions:
1. Always ask questions and test all things (Acts 17:11-12; James 1: 2-3; 1Thess. 5:21-24)
2. Ask for wisdom from the Lord (Proverbs 3: 5-6; James 1:5-6; Psalm 32:8)
3. Pray for peace in the things you don't understand (Philippians 4: 6-7)
4. Seek Scriptures (not out of context) (Colossians 3:16; Proverbs 2:1-7)
5. Seek council, and give room for correction (Psalm 19:20; Proverbs 1:5)
6. Grow forward: learn, apply wisdom and seek for more wisdom (Romans 12:2; James 1: 2-4)
Check out http://www.thescandal.org/ and comment on their blog your ideas, opinions, insights, help out all who are seeking these questions... I might even touch on these great questions in the near future on my blog. DON'T FORGET YOUR SURVIVAL TIPS... you don't want to stumble or cause another to stumble.. stay strong my friends.
