At Urbana 06, StudentSoul.org set up a graffiti wall with three questions. One was “If you could ask God a question, what would it be?” Of course, there’s no limit to the questions we could ask God, but sometimes it’s good to ask ourselves what we’re really concerned about. Here are some of the responses students wrote on the wall:
- What am I supposed to do with my life?
- Where do you want me to go?
- Do we amuse you?
[posted in response:] Yes . . . The Big ‘G’ :-) - What do you want me to do with the talents you have given me?
- What kind of soup will they have in heaven?
- Should I stay in college or pursue ministry now?
- Who am I?
- How do we really make this better?
- Why aren’t more people saved?
- Am I really saved? because I don’t think I deserve it.
- Where do I fit in all of this?
- Jesus, why?
- Can you please explain the mystery of the Trinity to me?
- Where is it written that drinking is bad? Why is it bad??? People drank then (Bible) and now (present).
- Why am I here?
- Are you enjoying this as much as we are?
- How do I trust you unceasingly?
- How can I bring you joy and glory?
- What do you want for me, Lord?
- What can I do about the injustices of the world?
- How can God be 3 persons? GOD/3 = .33
[posted in response:] Where does the extra .01 end up?
. . . On Jesus cuz he has skin?
. . . Actually, God/3 = 1! - What is keeping me from abundant life?
- How can a person be saved if he/she has never heard of Jesus?
- Why do some end up condemned to hell if you love the world so much? Where do I go?
- What’s your favorite color, God?
- How can I bring you joy and glory?
- [from an artist, in stylized lettering] Be thou my vision O Lord of my heart/ thou and thou only first in my heart/ High King of Heaven my treasure thou art.
- Do you really love me?
- Truth! How do I love it and Love!?
. . . P.S. I think you’re a pretty awesome guy. - Is a ? w/a bunch of commas still a ? b/c I got lots of them!!? Is that a second?? OOPS!!
- How do I trust unceasingly?
- How can I use my gift of science to serve the kingdom of God?
