This morning, spending some time in Exclusive Books, looking for a Rob Bell book, I came upon his Velvet Elvis book. By just reading the back page, I was hooked, and didn’t even think about price before I bought it. This must be one of the best saying, and if one and all of us, can just remember this, when we type or talk to people about our faith and believes it would go a long way in restoring faith in the unbelievers out there. So here goes…

We have to test everything.

I thank God for anybody anywhere who is pointing people to the mysteries of God.

But those people would all tell you to think long and hard about what they are saying and doing and creating.

Test it. Probe it. Do that to this book.

Don’t swallow it uncritically. Think about it. Wrestle with it.

Just because I’m a Christian and I’m trying to articulate a Christian worldview doesn’t mean I’ve got it nailed. I’m contributing to the discussion.

God has spoken, and the rest is commentary, right?

Now, I honestly think that when we talk to people, be that non-believers or fellow Christians, and we can simply remember this, and not try to force our opinions down their throats as the be all and end all, it would go a very long way in starting to get this world we live in, to become a godly place again.

I, personally, are very guilty when it comes to this very issue, as I can convince myself sometimes of some strange things. It all only depends on how much I believe it, before I will start to try convince other people about it…
