I feel like I'm at a crossroads in my life, and I don't want to make a mistake. The problem is, I've gone about as far as I can go in my present job, and I'm tempted to change careers while I'm still young enough to do it. But how will I know if it's the right decision?
I'm really dreading Easter this year because it will be the first big holiday since my husband died. My nephew has invited me to be with his family this year, but I don't want to go. I know Easter is supposed to be a happy time, but can you understand why it won't be for me?
I'm very concerned about all the reports I read about global warming and us poisoning the environment and things like that. Do you believe we are in danger of destroying the world because of these things?
My boyfriend and I are in a dilemma because our parents are insisting we wait until we get out of college a year from now before we get married, but we don't want to do this. Would it be wrong for us to get married secretly?
Why are missionaries still needed? Can't we complete the task of spreading the Gospel to the whole world by using radio and television and the Internet? Hasn't God now given us the tools to complete the Great Commission?
I agree that we need to connect with God in order to have inner peace, but to me, God dwells within us, and looking within ourselves is the true path to inner peace. After all, didn't Jesus say God was within each one of us?
Why did Jesus allow people to put Him to death? It seems to me that He could have fled from His enemies and kept on living, but it almost sounds like He deliberately chose to die. And anyway as the Son of God He could have prevented it, couldn't He? I don't understand this.
How can you believe that Jesus actually rose from the dead and came back to life? I hope this doesn't offend you, but this is such a fantastic claim that I just can't imagine how anyone could believe it.
I feel bad because I just found out that a family down the street has been having a lot of problems recently (the wife had a serious operation), and no one in the neighborhood even knew it. As a Christian, I feel I ought to help them, but I don't want to be nosey or intrude on their privacy.
My sister says I need to turn to Jesus because He'll solve all my problems. But how can He? Will they just all vanish if I turn to Jesus? I've got so many problems I don't see how anyone can solve them, even God.
If God hates sin, then He must hate me a whole lot because I've done just about everything bad you can imagine. I even got involved in a Satan-worshipping cult for a time (although I got scared and left). What hope is there for someone like me?
We are very concerned about our son, because it looks to us like college has turned him away from God. When he came home for Christmas, he admitted he doesn't go to church now and even wonders if God is a myth. Have we failed as parents to give him a strong faith?
