Thought for Today: Wednesday July 23
Have you ever known anyone who has a lot of questions about YHVH and the Bible? No matter how many you answer, they always have more. Our faith can stand up to any questions, but sometimes people ask questions -- and keep asking questions -- just to avoid facing their own spiritual needs and acknowledging Who Yeshua really is. Their questions may only be an excuse to keep from turning their lives over to the Moshiach. Make sure your family and friends know what the Gospel is because many may not really understand it. Never give up hope that someday they will give their lives to Yeshua. And of course, never cease praying for them.

When you start asking them "why?" then they quickly realize that their faith is based on false doctrines and quickly becomes shaken when scrutinized. 😪

so when you are making sure that your family and friends know what the Gospel is, you are only making sure that they know what has been revealed to you up till then.
now the point i think you're making, nick, is more that some people question things to avoid committing themselves. and that's a very valid point. i also know some people who in the meantime have built up a very good knowledge of the Gospel, yet still (sing along, one more time...) ask yet another question before 'conceding' to commit. fencesitters.
yet commitment is not dependent on knowledge of the Gospel.
some believe and commit purely on hearing Someone cared enough to die for them, details unimportant (boy, my heart goes out to them), and some will not believe nor commit no matter how much knowledge they garner (shame, my heart goes out to them too).
this should not be a surprise, once one knows that it is the Father who moves hearts, as He chooses, who purposes each vessel He makes, as He chooses..
striving to be used intrumentally in that process is of course desirable (hoping and praying is instrumental too, btw), but do we know who it is who says he is uncommitted yet actually has done so, or who says he has committed yet nothing could be further from the truth?
as a good servant work at being as good an instrument as one can be for the Father,
and, and but, and if only to become as good an instrument as can be, work foremost at the log in your own eye, and that probably starts with a question.
what log?
myself i hope only to have no more questions on that last day.
(ps- love your thoughts for the day, they always get me questioning...)
