Daring to Ask...

After sitting on my book shelf for what seems like ages, Rob Bell's Love Wins has finally made it's way into my hands. And I have finally allowed myself to enter a period of rest long enough to read it.

I just finished chapter one. Only a brief 19 pages. But 19 pages of hugeness. Of questions. Deep, brave, utterly necessary...questions.

19 pages of daring to ask.
To go there.
To dig deep.
To question and disagree.
To think longer and harder.
To stare what's said and done but doesn't look or feel right boldly in the face.

What a breath of fresh air. A challenging, critical, often lacking in the Church, breath of fresh air.



We

          must

                   be

                              BOLD.



We must dare to ask.
We must take the time to dig deeper.
Put in the effort to think more critically.
Challenge the norm.
And bring light to discrepancy. Inconsistency. Hypocrisy.


We must always question.


And we must always seek nothing less than...truth.


Bold, controversial, sought after, stares you down in the face...truth.
