Wendy in our group shared a whole bunch of inspiring questions from “Thriving In Babylon” written by Larry Osborne.
- Does our faith need to be tested to minister in our secular world?
- Should we, as Christ followers, always be optimistic, no matter what is happening in our own personal lives or in the world?
- Is there a problem with Christians buying into conspiracy theories? Should we avoid them and why?
- Why are we tempted to put our hope in political and social agencies?
- Is Biblical humility a forgotten (or even distained) virtue?
- How do we counter spiritual contamination in our lives?
- Is “compromise” a dirty word? When is compromise bad and when is it acceptable or good?
- Why is it more important to be faithful than to be successful?
- Can the short-term success of the wicked be God’s Will?
- Why do we ignore what God forbids?
- How will we manage as, Christ followers, as our society and culture becomes increasingly hostile toward Christianity and Christian values?
- In our society and, at times in our churches, Bible values are not only rejected, it seems as if they are being attacked on every front. How do we, as Christ followers, respond?
- One person stated: “I am not afraid to die; I just want to be the one who will decide when and how.” How should we, as Christ followers, respond to this?
- Is political correctness paralyzing our churches and culture?
- Is diversity good or bad for community cohesion? Diversity – gender, racial, ethnic or whatever is good? Companies that put a priority on the innovative are worth more when women hold top leadership positions. Fair or unfair?
- Are we experiencing compassion fatigue as we are exposed to overwhelming needs in our society?
- Gender challenges affecting churches and how do we respond?
