The Challenge to Make It REAL!!

Isn't Bible knowledge is wonderful? I love it!! I love the Word, because it is God's personal letter to me. And I can tend to be a bit of a Bible freak!! I can't get enough of it!!

But here is something I've learned from from an online buddy, and he's always challenged me on this one.

When someone asks a question, it is so easy to give a pat answer, an answer from the Good Book. What I say probably does mean something to me (I've had a revelation on it), but to someone else, it can be just words.

Or as my friend put it, "It's not that the pat answers are wrong, is it? But somehow they aren't connected to real life - or the connection isn't made. That's the problem."

So the challenge is, to give answers that do connect to real life... real, practical answers!! Answers that hit the target! Answers from the heart, where I share from my own experience ... those ones are often the best!

Can anyone else relate?
