Chris.
Sometimes we attempt to make relationships through asking questions.
Sometimes we try to have conversations with our loved ones through asking
questions. Jesus was very cautious about answering people’s questions. He would
sometimes answer their question with His own question. There are many better
ways to build fellowship and friendship than asking questions.
