We Have Not Because We Ask Not

Have you ever thought that this may be true in our conversations with others? Our words are a valuable asset for us. They can, of course, be a liability, too. But, when we put our words together, with purpose, in conversational form with another person, great things can happen. All too often, though, nothing amazing happens, other than just another flat, uninteresting conversation.

Maybe our verbal interactions with others are flat because we don't ask questions. Questions are the fuel of an exchange between people. Without questions, the talk begins to unwind quickly.

As believers, we have a lot to say, don't you agree? Wouldn't you like your conversations to be memorable for all involved? With questions, we can keep it interesting. Its kind of like keeping a balloon in the air. It doesn't take much effort, but you have to stay with it.

It is the little questions, like:

"Wouldn't you agree?'
"What are your thoughts?"
"Do you find this interesting?"
"What is your take on this issue?"

Just some examples. There are as many queries as there are opportunities. We have been given the most important information on this earth, and we are responsible to impart it. An engaging dialogue with a person can be so much more effective than a mini-sermon, or even a threat of eternity in hell.

Don't you agree?

Just asking....
