I just began another journal, and every time I begin a new journal, I start out by writing 100 questions.  Questions about life, about God, about my goals, family, etc.  The first 25 or 30 questions are fairly easy, both to write and to answer.  The rest really cause me to dig deep, to ponder, to probe and to probe some more. 

I truly believe that one of the main differences in people and what they accomplish in life lies in the ability to ask good questions.  Robert Kennedy said the following in 1968, “Some men see things as they are and ask ‘Why?’ I dream things that never were and ask, ‘Why not?’"  I’ve always liked this particular quote.   There are things we don’t see because we ask the wrong questions.  Our minds focus on the ‘why?’ and not the ‘why not?’

We are looking to see hundreds if not thousands of multiplying churches planted in Sao Paulo.  What are the key questions that we must ask?  I believe they will be the ones that open our minds up to the possibilities that God has in store for this city.  He is not willing that any enter into a Christ-less eternity, and why should any of us settle for any less?
