I had 2 amazing conversations with 2 amazing friends today. Both conversations were really challenging. I think a few years ago, things were very black and white for me and I always wondered why Christians would over complicate things. Now that I am a little older and further on in my walk with Jesus, I have realised why things get complicated. The closer we get to God and the more familar we are with His message, the more mysterious he becomes at the same time and the more we realise how much we don't actually know at all. So things get complicated, there are more questions, more doubts and more grey area's. But I believe that when we get to heaven, and find out the real answers, we are going to laugh ourselves stupid at the arguements and debates we had because the answers are going to be so simple but so beyond human comprehension.

Conversation one looked a little like....ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED? Faith vs Works. Which is more important? Do they come in hand in hand? Is just one enough? Is it enough to just belive in Jesus? Does it depend on circumstance?

Conversation two went along the lines of putting God at the centre of our relationships. Do I pray enough for those closest to me? Do I pray with those closest to me? Am I scared to voice my opinions on the bible? Am I scared to voice my opinions with my closest friends? Am I scared to admit that I am vulnerable in my faith and that there's alot I am still unsure of? Am I willing to let those closest to me share that vulnerability? Am I willing to let somebody work through it with me?
