1. There is no Quest without a Question

Imagine planning to go on the biggest quest in life. Things to pack, things to prepare, contingencies to consider, the only problem is you don't have an issue that needs to resolved!

If you go through life, go to cafes, stood on a mountain and shouted out a puzzle or question, would expect to hear a resounding clear answer everytime?

Or are there issues, are there things, when you ask about them people don't really know what to say, or they say a lot but not really get the answer, or the answer was the same you hear all the time but no one can explain it.

If you find that question, the one that is not understood, and it gets right inside your skin, you get a fire in your belly that this shouldn't be this way, you have found yourself a quest. There is no quest without a question.

This is applicable to my life. Until I stopped and asked any questions I never saw problems, or maybe it is better said, I never saw problems so well until I started asked questions...but... I have also found that there is no better way to enter the WRONG quest than when you ask the wrong question!!

How did my quest began in earnest? Great question. The beginning tells you more about the ending than anything surmising or conjecture. And again if you start in the wrong place you WILL almost certainly arrive at the wrong place.

I've love the word of God but one day encountered a $1million challenge to explain why christians should worship on a Sunday instead of Saturday. Pretty banal question but I started to feel angry. How dare this person do this, say this and worst of all entice people with money. I was irate.

But then the thought came to me, I do know a lot of reasons but I cannot neatly frame a simple answer that I knew would satisfy both the person and myself.

The ensuing investigation I found that the wrong question was asked, and of course the answer would never be found! I found the answer but it laid in a piece of wood and a certain Man who died on it. Then I found it answered so many more questions to now I see the answer holding everything together, so now I have a blog: The Cross Changes Everything.

This is not about religion, in fact religion was the biggest part of the problem but typical of the wisdom of God, evil actually paved the way for the greatest good to occur. Please read on.

I hope this blog reveals some of this process and the right questions to ask.
