I appreciated this article dealing with questions. One of Jesus' favorite ways of teaching came in the form of questions. He didn't simply answer a question or solve a problem right away. Often, he would ask a question to get the person he was interacting with to think about what was going on and come up with some sort of response. Asking questions of ourselves and others gives us opportunities to wrestle with our motives and our responses when situations come up. Asking questions also brings about growth as we are willing to live out our lives as learners and not just people who have to acquire all the right answers. Am I seeking after the Lord or simply my own agenda? Am I being sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit? Asking questions helps me evaluate myself in how I'm doing in certain areas of my life.
