So let it be written, so let it be done (April 12 - Chapters 31 thru 33)

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 describes the freedom of choice God has, yet cannot sin. How might that look in your life now and in Eternity?
  • What is the most basic requirement in humanity that would allow freedom of choice without sin?
  • Describe what resurrection means to you.
  • Both the Bible and the author cite the fact that only God is omniscient (knows everything). What does "knowing everything" for us, as humans, really mean?
  • How long would it take to learn everything about our current viewable creation? How much longer will it take to learn of the creation we cannot yet see?
  • The author says, "What [God] wants to stop is what prevents us from learning." What things are preventing you from learning currently?
  • We've heard the statement (perhaps even used it ourselves as an excuse), "But, we're only human." The author makes the bold statement, "If anything, sin makes us less human." Describe how this changes your thinking on the impact of sin on humanity.
  • It has been said, "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." When the author talks about the "fertile, curious minds" that God made us with, what does that look like to you?
  • When the author talks about books and documents being kept by God, what does this evoke in you about your life? About another person's life?
  • Ecclesiastes 12:12 (NLT) states "… for writing books is endless ..." Since we won't have Kindles in Heaven (or, will we?), how do you see the importance of books and documents in Eternity?
  • Talking about homes, land, friends, and work, the author talks about the eternal similarity to what we experience here on Earth. How do you see your daily life in Eternity being the same or different?
Blessings!!!
