...to give an answer to anyone who asks you to give a reason for the hope that you have...1 Peter 3:15
My little brother came to me today with questions...and he had lots of them. Starting with the toughest - Does God really exist?- and going all the way to "Where is the salt body of Lot's wife?" I was confident in answering his questions because of years of preparation. I am very relieved that I could approach our conversation, not with fear and panic, but with biblical and scientific answers. Preparation is key, and by God's grace this time, I was ready. I haven't been so lucky in the past, mostly because I failed to do my due diligence and do my homework, and I would approach conversations with tradition and emotion. Not a good combination.
I also learned about a child's honest, questioning heart. Not questioning to trap you, but questioning to know, no matter how ridiculous it might sound.
