Questions and Answers

I had a WOW moment while reading Flickering Pixels that just blew me away. Hipps tells of a guy with whom he had a conversation with about religion and faith. This guy claimed that he just didn't need Jesus because scripture had no authority for him. After throwing every evangelistic tool at this guy Hipps realized that he "had all the answers to the questions no one was asking." Wow! What a revelation. I find this myself in my discussions with friends who are not believers and especially with youth. Their perspective is so different than mine. Their questions are so foreign, and their answers even more so. It is almost as if I have to set aside all I know and believe and would die for and look at life through totally different eyes to even begin to relate to them. I hope this does not sound condescending at all because it really is not meant to be. I find a non-believer's questions and take on life to be so refreshing, so real, so raw. I think many of us believers have forgotten the thrill of the chase and the ecstasy of the find.
