I received an email from a student at the University who has been worshipping with us this fall. With his permission, I want to share it with you. (And I always want to assure you that I will never repeat in a sermon something anyone writes or says to me without his or her permission.)

The student wrote: “Hi Bill, there’s something going on by Tippe that you might be interested in. There is a group of men yelling at students that they are sinners and going to hell. I asked some questions, but they never really answered. What should I do in a situation when men are preaching hate and fear of hell instead of love?”

A good question—especially in light of this current sermon series exploring various ways in which we might respond to people when we disagree with them. This morning I want to explore the use of questions in conflict. The student seemed to anticipate my sermon.
