Dependence

I am one for adventure, exploring a new place or people, but not for an adventure when it comes to new foods and a few other things.
I am also not one for adventure when it comes to making decisions based on unknowns.  This leaves me with a sense of uncertainty, questioning myself and wondering if I could have made a better decision somewhere along the line.

I've been asking two questions of myself, and of other people, lately.

"Then what?"

"Now what?"

For me, these two questions get at the heart of ministry, evangelism, and growth in Christ. These questions push past the easy answers and reveal the processes that effect change, sanctify, and propel us towards a deeper love for, and faith in, God.
