Comments on: Tough Questions – Round Two http://drjeffadams.com/2008/02/09/tough-questions-round-two/ Hi! This is my chance to chat with you about anything that pops into my mind. That means it is usually unedited and unpolished, just like conversations with friends ought to be. So, grab a cup of coffee or tea and let's talk!

Thing is, the wash involves rigorous wash cycles, spin cycles that leave us beat up, wrung out and sometime hung out to dry. Wow. Jesus went through it didn’t he? I recently went through a deposition where I was interrogated for 6 hours. These same sorts of “no win” questions were crazy. Reminds me of very early on when someone said in the garden, “yea hath God said?” It is amazing that it sometimes isn’t until the very end of a thing that the Truth is finally exposed. Live by faith, not by sight. Take Care! Hi Jeff,

In Mark 5:25-34 when the woman touched Jesus garment to be healed Jesus stopped and asked who touched his garment, He didn't have to stop, He already knew, but I think He wanted to let her know that he was willing to give her what she wanted. Sometimes people try to take from us in conversation or by those weird questions, because they have some emotional need and they are not used to people being willing to meet that need or they might not even realize what they are doing. I learned to sometimes let that person know that I see what they are looking for and I am willing to meet that need and share a little piece of Christ with them.
