Liquid Agape

Liquid Agape?

What is it?

Is it something?

Or is it someone?

Can we have it?

Or is it untouchable?

What does Agape mean anyway?

So many questions...so many questions.

In Jesus' day, it was common to ask questions. In fact, he encouraged his disciples to ask questions of what he was saying. But sadly, we have been taught that questions are bad. We have been taught that to ask "What if..." is a cardinal sin. We have been taught to accept whatever is handed to us. And when people ask questions, it annoys us.

The truth is that Jesus LOVES questions. He loves it when people ask him things. He loves it when people argue with him. He loves it when people search him out.

I argue with my girlfriend. Not often, but I do it just the same. Our latest one was probably the worst. But it was also the best. There's something special about a couple sitting down and baring their souls to each other. Sitting down and saying, "This is what I think, what I believe." And we did that. And I never kissed her so passsionately afterwards. Why? Because we were closer because of it.

It's the same with God. He wants that closeness of after the argument. He wants us to question EVERTHING we are ever taught.

And so, through this journey, I hope that you do that. That you question deeply what you read and think. What you are taught.

And now, may God be with you and keep you. May you wrestle him, realizing it is the best way to grow closer to him.

And may you realize that God loves discussions that start with: "What if..."
