QUOTABLE ROB BELL

I was listening to a recent Rob Bell message called "I Do Not Know" and it was based around Paul's experience in prison. He was unpacking this idea that Paul at one point had thoughts of ending his life even though he knew that his convictions would not allow that to happen. Yet he struggled at times with harsh, and maybe unbelievable, thoughts.

Make no mistake that these thoughts happen in the 21st century. This is what Bell said about dealing with the harsh/troubling thoughts and the convictions people hold to ...

“For some of us we need to go all the way back to actually doing something very simple for someone who needs it because our faith as gotten so lost in the theological clouds and the doubts, the despair, and thoughts and feelings and fears of these philosophical conundrums because sometimes we need to bring somebody water who doesn’t have it because that’s what going to save us.”

- Rob Bell
