Christian controversies–yes–but for me there is One Question…
One Question
Controversies are swirling nosily in Christendom. Younger believers demand older leaders reexamine long-held beliefs and practices. Major television networks, websites and YouTube videos focus the spotlight on the players and their conflicting positions.
I love thinking, logic, studying, intellectualizing, debating—all that. And I believe it’s important. . . necessary.
However, there is a Question occupying my attention these days that goes deeper and higher than my ability to reason.
It’s a Question born out of my experience over the course of my life. The personal intervention, communication, guidance, provision and orchestrations of Jesus have—ever so slowly but surely—bonded me to Him.
I know Him.
The result is that He colors my being and my thinking in my deepest part.
Now, the Question that consumes me is:
How do I live out my love affair with Jesus?

Excellent message, Gloria! Thanks for keeping me on your mailing list.
On a personal note, I am planning to marry Roy Parsons on May 22. This is an exciting and
a bit of a surprise for me! Roy went to Fuller, was a pilot w/ Missions Aviation Fellowship, he is a widower, ten years older than me but VERY sharp, fun loving….and has enough money to allow us to live a wonderful life in Newport Beach and do a lot of travel. Who could have guessed?????
I would love to see you if you ever come to CA.
Do you have an email address for Diane? Somehow I have lost it….
Love to you….Pat
It cracks me up that the Epistles reveal the controversies swirling around, once again proving: there’s nothing new under the sun. It’s so interesting how Paul lists practical ways to live the new life in Christ in our daily life, interpersonal relationships, and changed attitudes.
And that quiets all the other questions, doesn’t it?
Yes, it does–quiet / put in perspective–all the other questions.
