I was in a bad car wreck a few weeks ago, and I was lucky enough to walk away with only minor injuries. My mother says God is giving me a second chance. Do you think she's right? What am I supposed to do?
Both of my parents died of cancer, and some of my other relatives have had it also. I know I ought to go to the doctor and get tested but I'm afraid to do it. If I pray hard enough will God protect me anyway?
I'm very concerned about a neighbor of mine. His life has kind of fallen apart since his wife divorced him for another man. He needs God and I'd like to invite him to church, but I'm afraid to ask him for fear he'll think I'm trying to cram my religion down his throat and cut me off. How can I help him?
Everyone thinks we are a perfect couple, but the truth is we're having a lot of problems, and I'm not sure we're going to make it. We need help, but our pastor would be shocked if we went to him. Where can we turn? We can't afford expensive counseling.
My aunt almost died last year, and she claims that when she was at her worst she had a vision of Jesus welcoming her into heaven. The only problem is, she'd never had any use for God, and she didn't even believe in life after death. What do you think happened to her?
Are some races or ethnic groups better than others? My father-in-law is a very prejudiced person, and he says the Bible teaches this. I'm not sure anything can change his mind, but is he right that this is what the Bible says?
Our daughter (who's in her 40s) has had lots of problems—divorce, alcohol, unable to keep a job, you name it. The problem is, she blames us for all her problems, saying we were bad parents. We always end up arguing. What can we do? We feel like such failures.
I've tried to confess my sins to God so He'll forgive me, but I'm sure I don't remember everything I've ever done wrong. This worries me, because I know I need to have all my sins forgiven before God will let me into heaven.
We have a son who is almost 4, and I wonder if you think he's too young for us to try to teach him to pray (like when we put him to bed at night). He's beginning to ask us questions about God, but we're not sure he really understands what we say.
Is money evil? I've heard that the Bible says this someplace, but does this mean it's wrong to have a good job and have a nice home and try to make your family financially secure?
My boyfriend and I have been living together for a couple of years, but last month he announced it was over and told me to get out. This has been devastating, but when I moved back home with my parents, they told me I got what I deserved, and God was punishing me. Are they right?
Why are some people always trying to get people to believe exactly like they do? One of the guys I play golf with is what I guess you'd call a born-again Christian, and he's always trying to get me to go to his church or get involved in a Bible study or something. He's a great person but sometimes I wish he'd just back off.
