Dr. Doolittle: "You talkin' to me?" (April 26 - Chapters 38 thru 40)

Below are the questions that you'll use for your small group discussion. Additionally, we'll be taking some time out of this session to have a "white board" group discussion. I'm looking forward to seeing you!!

• The author talks about the ethnic diversity in the New Jerusalem and how it will be united by a common worship of Jesus. What does this look like to you?
• How does the statement "racism is not only an injustice toward people, but also a rejection of God's very nature" differ in reality in today's world versus Eternity?
• In regard to racism, how does the dynamic of a "unifying loyalty to the King Jesus" affect what our world could be like now and into Eternity?
• Discuss what Acts 17:26 means to you in regard to the existence of different races.
• How does the diversity of nations, languages, and cultures testify of God's own diversity and bring Him glory?
• What is the significance of God's preservation of the animals from the flood during Noah's time?
• Proverbs 12:10 (NLT) states how the "godly are concerned for the welfare of their animals." What does this mean today as well as Eternity? Who do the animals belong to? (See Psalm 50:10-11 NLT) Why is this important?
• Do you think that Adam and Eve regarded animals differently than we do today? Why is this important?
• We've talked about Romans 1:20 and the invisible qualities of God being clearly seen in creation. How does God's invisible qualities manifest themselves in the animals He created?
• What are your thoughts of expressing grief over the loss of a pet? Please explain your thinking about the attachment people have to a pet and whether it's a result of Creation or the sin factor.
• Would you like to see pets in Eternity? Why or why not?

Blessings!!
