And I Still Havent' Found....

I like the concept. True, not every half sentence that shows up on a church marquee is worth a lengthy discussion. The "We're not Dairy Queen, but we have Great Sundays" is a lot overused. But this could spar some conversation.

This is one of those balance issues. There are a lot of questions that come to mind, for me, when I think about using this.

• If not every search, what kind of searches can Google satisfy?
• When are we satisfied with the answers we find?
• At what point does the search end?
  
• Do we trust (are satisfied) more easily (are convinced of) Google's (or fill in the blank) answers more than we are with God's?
• What is it we find when we search?

And on and on...

I believe the ultimate authority in my life has to be God. Through constant prayer, meditation, contemplation and seeking I feel God has led me where He wanted me to be, and provided answers for me when I needed them--and even when I didn't want them.
That said, I couldn't recall every time a word from someone, or a thought provoking question :) led me to an important faith lesson. I know some people will shy away from asking advice, or seeking other's opinion for fear of not following God. That's seems like a noble thought. However, God has worked in other's lives, just as well as He is wanting (and probably has) to work in yours.
Part of the community of God is the commitment to each other to support, love, encourage and, dare I say, hold accountable. If you don't think so reread Paul's letters the the churches. There's all that and more. All I want to emphasize to you is the benefit of sharing in the community of God. Let God be your ultimate guide; let God guide you to those you need in your life right now. Stay blessed...john
