I've been through three marriages, and I've decided I'm not going to go through it again. It's just too much emotional pain, wondering if it's going to work out and then having all your hopes collapse. But does this mean God expects me to refrain from sex the rest of my life? I'm not sure if I can do that.
I know that every church has its faults, but what would you say a perfect church would look like? I moved to a new city recently, and I'd like to find a church that is as close to the ideal as possible.
A friend of mine says that when Jesus told His followers there are mansions in heaven, He was only talking about the places God has reserved for the angels. If this is true, what kind of home will we have in heaven?
I'm in prison on drug charges right now, and I know I've been a terrible husband and father. I'll be getting out soon, and I want things to be different, but I don't know how. I know I'll need to stay away from drugs and alcohol, but beyond that, how can I reform myself?
Why did Jesus stay around for 40 days after He came back from the grave, instead of going immediately into heaven? This came up in our Bible class the other day and no one seemed to have an answer.
My uncle claims to be a Christian, but the other day he admitted to me that every year he cheats on his taxes. He laughed and said he enjoys outsmarting the government. I don't see how he can be a Christian, do you?
I'm a widow living in a cottage at a nice retirement village, and I've grown very attached to a widower who also lives here. I want us to get married, but he just wants me to move in with him because he says he'll lose some tax benefits if we get married. What would you advise?
My doctor has just told me I have a bad form of cancer that could kill me if it isn't treated. What do I have to do to get God to heal me? I don't want to go through all that chemotherapy and lose my hair and everything.
When I was a child, I used to hear our pastor talk about the "Holy Ghost," but now our church never uses that term. Does "Holy Ghost" mean the same thing as the Holy Spirit?
My husband and I have a severely handicapped child (three years old now), and while we love him very much, we can't help but wonder why this happened to us. A friend of ours even hinted that God must be punishing us for something we've done wrong. Is he right?
I took an adult course in religion at our local community college recently. To my surprise, the professor claimed that most things in the Old Testament didn't really happen but are just stories people made up. Is he right? I hope not, because the Bible has always been important to me.
I have prayed and prayed that this man I've gotten to know at work will take an interest in me, and that some day we'll even get married, but I guess God just isn't listening. How can I get Him to pay attention to my prayers?
