Glorify Me (4 of 4)
Series: What in the World
James Merritt
I Corinthians 10:31
Introduction
1. Only six questions have ever been asked by anyone, anywhere, in any language, in the history of this planet. No one has ever come up with a seventh question. When you ask these six questions about any topic you've asked every question there is to be asked. The questions are:
- Who?
- What?
- Where?
- When?
- How?
- Why?
Now those questions may appear to be equal in importance, but they are not. There is one question in the list that truly is the most important question of all. Aristotle, the great philosopher actually helps us to figure out which one of those questions it is.
2. So a student says, '''What?' is the most important question, because if you figure out what to do everything else will fall into place.''
To that Aristotle replies, ''Why is 'What?' the most important question?''
3. Someone else would confidently state '''Who?' is the most important question.'' If you get the right person doing the right thing with the right people, at the right time, everything else will succeed. But, if you have the wrong people in the wrong position, at the wrong place, everything will fail.'' Aristotle would reply, ''Why is the 'Who?' the most important question?'' Finally, Aristotle's students figured out that ''Why?'' is the most important question.
4. Almost without exception, behind every other question, eventually comes the question ''Why?'' As you know, little children figure that out quickly, because that is the number one question they begin to ask. There is an old saying that says, ''He who knows how will always have a job; he who knows why will always be his boss.''
5. It really should come as no surprise that when a survey in USA Today, asks the question, ''If you could ask one question of God and get a direct and clear answer, ''What would you ask Him?'' The number one question by 2-to-1 over the second question people said they ...
