We all answer questions even when we don't think about them. Every footstep, every word, every decision is an answer to a question. Which way will you turn? What will you say? which do you choose? We answer these questions over and over every day, often without seriously thinking about them.

But questions are far more important than we tend to think of them being. Asking and answering questions thoughtfully are the ways we change, grow, mature in life. Intentionally asking and answering questions demonstrates a desire to correct and improve our lives.

Refusing to thoughtfully ask and answer questions, especially about crucial life issues, answers the question: "do you really care about your life?" Being care-less about questions reveals a blind contentment with the way things are.

Regarding: Have LIFE Website Questions?

It has cost a lot of time, thought, prayer, and some $ to gather these questions. 
How much personal growth in appreciation and enjoyment of God's Amazing Grace would it have cost me if I refused or neglected to pay these costs?

While I neither expect nor request any $$$ for offering these questions, there are costs everyone pays.

To benefit from the challenge of these questions requires every receiver to give time, thought and prayer to seriously ponder them.

Because of the LIFE determining nature of these questions, there are unforeseen costs paid by those who reject or neglect to seriously ponder them. To either suffer the consequences of neglect or miss the benefits of pondering is an awful price to pay.

The seriousness of these questions is not because of any person who asks them but because of the the Amazing God with Whom they originate. The first question God asked, He continues to ask every one of us: "Where Are You?" It costs much much more than money to either answer or ignore.

Three payments I request from anyone who visits this website:

1. Please actually read and ponder the Bible texts.

2. Please write me a brief email describing your responses..

3. Please share your response and the website with a friend.

Refusing to ask or answer questions may also reveal a fear or lack of confidence in things a person claims to strongly believe. Real truth needs fear no question or answer.

No one who truly cares about truth will refuse to ask and answer questions or encourage others to do the same.

Numbers 14:11 “And the Lord said to Moses, “How long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe in me, in spite of all the signs that I have done among them?”

Read the context: Numbers 14

Ponder:

? What do the words "despise" and "not believe" have in common?

? What other words could God have used to describe the attitudes and behaviors of His people in spite of all God had done for them?

? Why did God ask this question? What did God want this question to prompt Moses and us to think about?

? Why do we tend to assume that "signs" lead us to ''believe"?

? Why do God's "signs" often lead to "unbelief and despising God" rather than obedience and praise?

? What are some of God's signs that we tend to miss or ignore?

? What are some of God's signs that you have responded to appropriately?
