After I got into drugs, I can't believe how many people I hurt. Six months ago, I gave my life to Jesus and I'm a totally different person now, but how can I go back and make things right with them? Or should I even try?
I never have understood how Jesus could have been both God and man at the same time. Or is this what the Bible actually says? Maybe Jesus was just a very spiritual man who was completely dedicated to God.
This may not seem like a religious question, but twice in recent weeks our church service has been interrupted by people's cell phones going off—once when the pastor was preaching, once during a prayer. Maybe you can say something about this in your column because it's very annoying.
I got into some trouble last year and the judge put me in a juvenile detention center. I get out in a few weeks, but I'm scared because I'm afraid I'll just end up back here again. Does God just make people like me bad?
I read a blog on the Internet the other day that claimed Jesus was going to come back to earth on a certain date. How did they know? They were selling a book that explained it, but I didn't buy it.
How can we know what is true about Jesus and what isn't? I've read several books that claim He was married and had children and things like that. Maybe the Bible doesn't tell the whole story. The writers of the Bible even might have made some things up.
Our daughter came home from college over Christmas and announced she plans to move in with her boyfriend. We didn't raise her this way and it upset us very much, but we didn't know what to say. What should we do?
After my wife died a year ago, I just quit going to church because it was too painful seeing her old friends and having people ask me how I was doing. Was it wrong for me to drop out of church?
I guess I'm just a natural worrywart, because I admit I worry about everything, and I always have. A friend of mine tells me that Christians shouldn't worry, but I just can't help it. Is it a sin for me to worry so much?
A friend of mine keeps telling me I need to have faith, and I suppose he's right, but I'm not sure what it means. Can you give me a simple definition of faith?
Can you be a Christian but believe in another religion at the same time? A friend of mine claims he believes in Jesus, but he says he also follows another religion. He says he doesn't think he's being illogical, because all religions lead to the same place.
I'm always fascinated by the predictions that astrologers and fortunetellers make at the beginning of each year, and I always read them avidly. Don't you think we ought to pay more attention to these predictions so we'll have a happier life?
