Sincerity and devotion, while noble, are dangerous when exercised without wisdom or discernment.  

Wisdom and discernment require the pursuit of and acquisition of knowledge – intellectual curiosity – that is the inclination to ask questions and the desire to keep learning!

Asking questions may be expressed as a way of praying and meditating. 

Asking questions is definitely a way of studying things that yields more than just information and education, but also illumination and revelation.  

Asking questions may also lead to positive transformation or at least reformation that broadens and deepens us, enriches us, and gives us wisdom!  

I fear that much of what we are experiencing right now is because too many of us have abandoned asking questions and are settled into making assumptions.  

I get it. Amid instability, we so crave certainty, that we will accept the appearance of stability, even if it is based on flawed or faulty information!  Many of us have resigned ourselves to settle for an outlook that believes that something is better than nothing…

This is dangerous.  Especially when it is passed down from generations as a pragmatic means of surviving.  Something is not better than nothing– especially when that something is a lie!  It is a house of cards, it is a house built on the sand, and it will fall…

Sincerity and devotion appear to be noble expressions, but they are dangerous when not grounded in wisdom and truth that comes from above and guided by love for God and others.  

Sincerity and devotion do not preclude the possibility of being wrong!  I dare say that we have myriad examples of this unfortunate reality all around us today!

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.  Proverbs 14:12

Keep asking questions!

Good Morning, I love you all!
