Living Our Questions

I haven't been blogging lately for a number of reasons, but mostly because I've been busy living out my questions.

I think there are at least two kinds of questions we get along this Christian journey--the ones we can answer by reading a book or article, and the ones we have to work through by living life. Often, these two types of questions overlap.

Does scripture contradict itself? Is it historically accurate? Those are the sorts of questions that--for me--I can find satisfying answers to with an apologetics website.

How can I learn to forgive? What should reconciliation look like? Those are the sorts of questions that need to be worked through by a change in the way we live.

In a way, all of the Christian life is like a question--perhaps "what does it look like for me to live out my new life in Christ?"--a question based on truth, that changes the way we live.
