HELP! Ideas for Upcoming Theme Week

-

I've been thinking about what to do for another theme week(s) and I came up with this idea.  I will do a theme on important questions. I realize that seems broad and vague. Partly this is purposeful; what I am thinking of are questions which are large and nearly impossible to answer but which reward thought and discussion.  Partly this is because I haven't come up with a better name yet, and that is because I don't have the list of questions yet.  That is where you come in. Please HELP!

Two questions that I definitely want to include, to give you an idea, are "What if you knew you were going to die tomorrow?" and "What if you knew you were going to live tomorrow?"

What I need from you are more ideas.  What questions would you ask? What questions would you want to discuss? 

Please comment and let me know your ideas about important questions of this sort.  The more the better.  I am not promising to do every question that gets put forward, but I am willing to do more than a week of this if there are enough good ideas.  

Thanks in advance for your help! :)

No worries; I appreciate the comment anyway. Considering the lack of response, I think I will have to change that anyway :)

Forgiveness: A Hard Word From Luther

-
"Those who follow Christ grieve more over the sin of their offenders than over the loss or offense to themselves. And they do this that they may recall those offenders from their sin rather than avenge the wrongs they themselves have suffered. Therefore they put off the form of their own righteousness and put on the form of those others, praying for their persecutors, blessing those who curse, doing good to the evil-doers, preparing to pay the penalty and make satisfaction for their very enemies that they may be saved. This is the gospel and the example of Christ." - Martin Luther (Quoted by Miroslav Volf, Free of Charge, pg. 161-162)

A Good Tree Bears Good Fruit....

"Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit." - Matthew 7:17-18 "One of the most powerful ways to influence the behavior of a system is through its purpose or goal. That's because the goal is the direction-setter of the system, the definer of discrepancies that require action, the indicator of compliance, failure, or success toward which balancing feedback loops work. If the goal is defined badly, if it doesn't measure what it's supposed to measure, if it doesn't reflect the real welfare of the system, then the system can't possibly produce a desirable result. Systems, like the three wishes in the traditional fairy tale, have a terrible tendency to produce exactly and only what you ask them to produce. Be careful what you ask them to produce." - Donella H. Meadows, Thinking in Systems.

A Gracious Reading of Rob Bell

-
The Journey So Far The controversy rages on over Rob Bell's upcoming new book. No matter what happens now, this controversy has effectively guaranteed that 'everyone who is anyone' will need to read this book. Either to find out what is wrong and bash it, or because someone we generally disagree with also disagrees with the book so it has to be good stuff! Then, because 'everyone' is reading it, people like me will 'have to' read it to. After all, I am a pastor, and if many of my people are reading and being influenced by a book, don't I need to know what is going on as well?  Or so the reasoning will go... and perhaps I will read it, who knows. In the meantime, none of this will stop me from continuing to join this fray which I probably ought to have stayed out of in the first place. Onwards, Christian... :) The Latest Salvo The latest salvo has been fired by DeYoung  claiming that not only do we not need to talk with Bell but, more importantly, it
