Leading questions are a good idea tat do tend to cause folks to think. Ultimately, it is very much an act of God to help others think out side the institutional box. It fascinates me who seems to be able to do this and who cannot.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306854704766653209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987271399653590272.post-88714529729275807902011-12-30T09:25:28.401-05:002011-12-30T09:25:28.401-05:00Agreed.

Most people cannot even fathom anything outside of the box. If we begin to administer the Grace of Christ by sharing gently and humbly, but with truth, then the message begins to penetrate. Gentle leading questions will help people to start thinking and the Lord can lead from there. For that matter the question should be prayerfully considered. Here is a phrase I use to help me while in these situations. "Is it so important who is right or wrong, or should the question be , how can I administer the Grace of God to them, as God in His Mercy has administered it to me?" This does not mean that the truth is not important, but how do we share it.<br />Once again it is a blessing to see you sharing on such matters. Thanks, brother.Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15559969844933631403noreply@blogger.com
