I know you believe in heaven, but how do you know it even exists? After all, there isn't any evidence for it. As far as I can tell, death is the end of everything, so we might as well live it up and have a good time while we can. At least that's what I intend to do.
I know we're supposed to forgive people who hurt us, but why bother? After all, it doesn't change what they've done to us, and it doesn't change them, either. I've been very hurt because of something my brother-in-law did to us, and there's no way I could ever forgive him.
My husband and I come from different church backgrounds, and every time we've moved we've had trouble agreeing on a church we both liked. Now we're moving to a new city, and we're facing the same problem all over again. What advice would you have for us?
I saw one of those "infomercials" the other night on TV about someone who claimed to be able to talk to people who lived a long time ago and can give us guidance about our lives. Do you think that's possible? I admit I was tempted to call the number to see what she'd say.
I want to serve God, but we have five children and lots of debts. I don't see how I could ever be a pastor or go to seminary or anything like that. Do I just lack faith that God will provide for us? I don't think so, but sometimes I wonder if I'm on the right path.
I grew up in a good Christian home, but somehow I took a wrong turn and now I'm in prison. I feel like I've betrayed Jesus (like Judas did) and I'm afraid God will never forgive me for what I've done. After all, He didn't forgive Judas, did He?
My sister lost her small son a little over a year ago, and on the anniversary of his death she put a poem in the paper to remember him. It said something about him being an angel now. Is that what happens to us when we die and go to heaven, that we become angels?
Do you believe the devil is real, or is he just a symbol for evil? I know we live in an imperfect world and a lot of bad things go on, but I have a hard time blaming it all on some shadowy personality called the devil.
I wish I knew what was wrong between my daughter-in-law and me. We got along fine the first year or so, but now she almost seems to avoid me. It's especially hard because we go to the same church and see each other regularly. What have I done wrong?
Do you think we might be living in the last days, and that the end of the world is coming soon? I've heard that the Bible teaches evil will grow stronger toward the end, and I can't help but wonder if we're living in those days.
How can I get the Holy Spirit? I gave my life to Jesus two years ago, but I know I need the Spirit's power also, because I have a hard time fighting temptation.
I've just been diagnosed with breast cancer, and it's really sent me into despair. Why is God punishing me? I believe in Jesus and I've always tried to be a good Christian, but what did I do to deserve this?
