Something to think on from Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell

[18monthmission]

The Christian faith is mysterious to its core. It is about things and beings that ultimately can’t be put into words. Language fails. And if we do definitively put God into words, we have at that very moment made God something God is not

aye-yai-yai.. i can't get enough of the insight that God has brought through Rob Bell!! i think i could read this a thousand times over and STILL be moved.

Truth always leads to more…truth.

How awesome is God in that He encourages our questions of Him in order to reveal more TRUTH?! The world is full of questions with definitive answers in a [let's go ahead & admit it?] seriously weak attempt to appease our minds. The truth is so frikken' BIG, we can dig forever and just discover.discover.discover. yeah... it makes me excited

I gotta tell ya.. it wasn't until I started to question and really seek and seriously dig, that I started to really LOVE God and come back to desperately wanting this relationship with Him. Knowing it's okay to question God has been this beautiful sort of awakening.

I am really injoyng what Rob Bell has to say! I think that first part about mystery hit me the hardest!

God is so awesome Rose, I am truely blessed to be a child of His!

It is such an awesome realization that we can question God, not only that, I believe He wants us to question Him!

Rose, I read your other post, and just wanted to say, {{{hugs}}} you are such a beautiful soul, and I just wanted to let you know, that I love you my friend :) God bless you!
