Answering Any Questions God Is Asking In The Preaching Portion
Great Blog Randy! I always look at it as.... God asks a question to make a statement; i.e., "Adam, where are you?" or "Who told you that you were naked?" or (to Lot) "Where were you when I formed the land." Questions are a great teaching tool, a question draws the reader/hearer into the dialogue so that they are not just receiving but interacting with what is being said, simple auditory reception becomes ignited by intellectual processing and the question serves as the spark that ignites. The Bible is loaded with these question scenario's. (Say Hi! to everyone at Calvary for me.... probably after all these years there aren't too many who remember who I am!)
Good morning, Ron. Thank you for kind words and also for excellent insights into the usefulness of questions. If you're the infamous, Ron Anderson, then several folks will enjoy hearing from you. You are well thought of and respected. Keep up the good work of faith. Ride safely. Late September, seven of us enjoyed a beautiful four day ride through MD, VA, NC, WV. One of God's good gifts to us.
