Thought Provoking Questions by Brent Lokker

Last Saturday during Blazing Fire's worship service, I asked many questions to provoke people into higher places with the Lord (The Lord often asked questions in the Scriptures to invite us into deeper places with Him).  I have included some Scripture verses, not as proof-texts, but as a starting point for you to explore greater truth with the Lord.  Enjoy the journey with Him!  Rather than just zipping through these, stop at the ones that hit you and talk with Papa about it--He loves the time with you!
