| 10/18/2025 | Living on the East Coast is fun, but I’m filled with terror when hurricane season arrives, and I take every precaution there is. But some of my friends seem to laugh at a coming storm. Is fear a sin? |
| 10/17/2025 | I am part of the baby boomer generation and we grew up at a good time in America. I don’t know that my grandchildren will ever know the good times that our nation once knew. It seems like everyone should slow down and turn the culture around. Is this a pipe dream? |
| 10/16/2025 | There’s a lot in the news about converting cash into gold. I am surprised that the world of finance uses a spiritual term when talking about converting cash into gold. |
| 10/15/2025 | There are many people who are not necessarily religious but still know about the riches and wisdom of King Solomon as told in the Bible. Why did he write so much about attaining all of this and yet it was all vanity? |
| 10/14/2025 | Sometimes I feel that nothing I do turns out right even when I go the extra mile. I pray and ask God to help me see things differently but I stay discouraged. Since God promises to be with us, why do I feel defeated? |
| 10/13/2025 | I know Christmas is still some weeks away, but I’m already getting uptight about it. It’s always such a hectic time and we always end up spending far more than we planned to. To be honest, I don’t really enjoy Christmas any more, although I know I ought to. Any suggestions? |
| 10/12/2025 | Is there a difference between man’s law and God’s law, and does God command people to love others regardless of what they may do to us? |
| 10/11/2025 | The question about why God allows evil cannot be answered, but doesn’t it remain one of the most troubling aspects of God? |
| 10/10/2025 | What does it mean to hunger and thirst for righteousness? |
| 10/9/2025 | It seems strange that a book that has been around longer than all others is refused as a source of truth, especially when it is a book filled with hope and promise. |
| 10/8/2025 | History proves that empires eventually fall. Why is this, and why does the Bible say that Jesus’ kingdom will never fail? |
| 10/7/2025 | There are so many storms in life—literal and imagined. What is the secret to standing strong when troubles come? |
| 10/6/2025 | I am an educator and I thirst for knowledge. But I am also a Christian and my associates tell me that I should seek knowledge rather than lean on common sense and faith in God. Society is consumed with knowledge, yet it seems that there is little common sense (or wisdom). Why can’t people discern the difference between knowledge and wisdom? |
| 10/5/2025 | Did God’s love begin when He sent Jesus into the world? |
| 10/4/2025 | Why is it important to read the Bible? |
| 10/3/2025 | If God is perfect, why does He get angry? Isn’t that a sin? |
| 10/2/2025 | Is humanitarian work the same as ministry work? |
| 10/1/2025 | What does it really mean to become like a shining diamond? |
| 9/30/2025 | Our neighbors—an old couple—gave me a gift a couple of years ago and paid my way to a youth camp. It was a lot of fun and I met some news friends. I heard about God’s salvation and accepted Jesus, but now I’m not sure it stuck even though I am still serious about what I did. Should I be worried? |
| 9/29/2025 | The war on Christmas is a real thing and it is hard to understand in America, a nation that once respected the message of this holiday. I am a music teacher and was teaching my students about the classic Handel’s Messiah. A few kids were offended and I have been forbidden by the principal, who claims to be a Christian, to teach anything having to do with Jesus, yet He is the reason for the season. How can she be a Christian and deny history? |
| 9/28/2025 | I love Jesus but I have a difficulty reading the Bible and praying. The days are so busy and at night I can’t keep my eyes open to read or keep my mind focused to pray. What’s the solution? |
| 9/27/2025 | Why did God create people knowing that we would disappoint Him and disobey Him? |
| 9/26/2025 | I know that as a Christian I possess the power of the Holy Spirit, but I don’t feel like I do. What’s wrong with me? |
| 9/25/2025 | Bullying among children is never acceptable behavior, so it’s hard to understand why adults practice bullying every day. In an age where society cries for more tolerance, what is behind this oppressive spirit? |
| 9/24/2025 | In studying the great figures of history my professor is teaching that while Jesus went about doing good, He couldn’t come close to the great and talented philosophers and masterminds. Educators show their ignorance when they talk like this. Why do they relentlessly attack the Christian religion by attacking Christ? |
| 9/23/2025 | Is it true that a person cannot become a Christian unless they receive the Holy Spirit? |
| 9/22/2025 | There doesn’t seem to be much made about Christmas Eve any more. Why is that? |
| 9/21/2025 | Maybe no one else has this problem, but after the holidays I always get kind of depressed. It doesn’t make sense because we have a closeknit family and I always enjoy Christmas, but afterward I always feel this big letdown. Why is this? |
| 9/20/2025 | Is Christmas built upon the story of the wise men bringing gifts to the baby Jesus? |
| 9/19/2025 | I hear a lot about people having spiritual gifts like the gift of encouragement or comfort. This is hard for me because I am happiest when alone; yet I feel selfish. What’s the answer? |
| 9/18/2025 | Happiness is a choice, some say. Is this really true? |
| 9/17/2025 | Is there a difference between a lie and stretching the truth? |
| 9/16/2025 | All my buddies use language that my parents don’t approve of because they say it offends God, but they’re words used on television, by politicians, and in school. Does God really disapprove? |
| 9/15/2025 | Last year I spent Christmas with a couple who celebrated in a big way. A week later, they went into severe depression and lamented about the coming new year. Why do so many people go into depression when the calendar changes? |
| 9/14/2025 | Is there a prayer for the new year that can give hope and courage to face the ever-changing world we are living in today? |
| 9/13/2025 | I feel like a religious orphan. With so many religions in the world, it’s hard to decide which one works the best. It seems they all stem from culture or politics. Is there a way to cut through all the rules and spiritualism and find something that really works? |
| 9/12/2025 | My son has been a good kid but lately he is giving in to peer pressure from his friends who have talked him out of going to church, and it’s changing his behavior. While he’s not really comfortable with some of the things they do and say, he feels accepted, and belonging to this group makes him happy. He tries to persuade me that he can make a difference in their lives, but instead they are making a difference in his. Doesn’t that usually spell danger? |
| 9/11/2025 | Why is it wrong for Christians to work for riches? |
| 9/10/2025 | What good does it honestly do to have faith in God? The world is so chaotic and unstable today that I don’t think anything can ever make us feel secure, including faith in God. |
| 9/9/2025 | Recently I heard that even one small sin of impatience can trigger many other sins. I’m not sure I buy that, but it has come to my attention that I have a shorter fuse with my family than I do my friends. How can that be remedied? |
| 9/8/2025 | My friends say that my Christian faith is hypocritical because I believe the Bible to be literal even when I say that Jesus is the door. They respond, “Does he have hinges?” What can I say to them? |
| 9/7/2025 | I am a high school graduate going into the field of robotics. It is the most awesome subject to study because robotics may one day make it possible to control the world around us. It’s even possible that the leader of the whole world will emerge as a robotic god. My parents and I have had a very bad argument over this and they told me I was testing God. Why? |
| 9/6/2025 | My friend constantly talks about angels, has pictures of them in her home, and actually worships them, but she never speaks of God. Doesn’t the Bible say that this is wrong, and does God use angels today or were they only active in Bible times? |
| 9/5/2025 | If Jesus sits on His heavenly throne how can he possibly understand the immense suffering that people are experiencing in the here and now? |
| 9/4/2025 | Why does the Bible say that Christians should be a “peculiar” people? If my friends think I’m weird, they won’t have anything to do with me. How can that help me be a witness for Jesus? |
| 9/3/2025 | I’m a bit of a recluse. No one cares if I exist or not. I’ve even searched for God but I’ve come to the conclusion that God is elusive. It’s hard to know someone when they are never seen. |
| 9/2/2025 | What does it mean for a person to give their life to the Lord? |
| 9/1/2025 | My ex-boyfriend talked me into getting an abortion several years ago, and I can’t get it out of my mind. I knew it was wrong, although all my friends told me to go ahead. I can’t forgive myself, and I know God won’t forgive me, either. I don’t know why I’m writing, but maybe you’ll pray for me. |
| 8/31/2025 | I am elderly, but when I see the way the world is today, it seems nearly impossible for young people to ever know what purity is. I have to say that the older generation has not set a very good example. The language alone that comes from our politicians and entertainers has deposited utter filth in young minds. What does the Bible mean when it says that people should be “pure in heart”? |
| 8/30/2025 | Conflict is raging. How can we keep God’s perspective? |
| 8/29/2025 | The internet is filled with more danger than good things. It just seems that modern technology has given a platform for everyone to talk about themselves and some say that people’s obsession with it is dangerous. Does the Bible address this? |
| 8/28/2025 | Some say that the name Jesus is offensive, but I don’t understand that. Doesn’t that name represent love? Isn’t it powerful to pray in His name? |
| 8/27/2025 | If we read the Bible and are obedient to Scripture, why is it important to pray? |
| 8/26/2025 | I’ve always allowed my kids to read fantasy stories and watch cartoons, but I tell them it’s just pretend. Recently my 10-year-old son told me that he couldn’t believe in Jesus because he was just another superhero. This has frightened me. |
| 8/25/2025 | My neighbor claims the primary parental responsibility is providing shelter and food. She tells me that I should pursue my career instead of being a stay-at-home mom. I am in great conflict. |
| 8/24/2025 | We live in a world that provides so many different choices: religions, careers, and relationships. Even the Bible commands that we make choices, right? |
| 8/23/2025 | Does the saying in the Bible about not worrying about tomorrow mean that we shouldn’t plan for the future? This confuses me as a college student who wants to be responsible to make good decisions in life. |
| 8/22/2025 | The old saying “live and let live” sounds irresponsible. My friends say that I take life too serious and I’m missing out on all that the world has to offer. It seems that people who live loosely end up with a lot of regret. |
| 8/21/2025 | It seems that cremation is rapidly taking the place of funerals. Is this in part a way for people to run from the reality of death and what follows? |
| 8/20/2025 | I am a young preacher studying for the ministry and want to preach on the Sermon on the Mount to clear up confusion about the references to the poor. People seem to think that Jesus was talking about people in poverty, but I don’t think so. |
| 8/19/2025 | Over the Christmas holiday, I watched a DVD that was given to me titled God’s Not Dead. It was an interesting answer to the famous question on the cover of Time magazine more than 50 years ago: “Is God Dead?” Christians know that God is not dead because we have the privilege of talking to Him all the time, but what else can be said? |
| 8/18/2025 | Recently I read an online article titled “The Age of Stress” and the ubiquity of stress in the 21st century. How did our culture come to this point? |
| 8/17/2025 | I read a lot of books on balancing life but they all fall short in delivering a solution that counts. |
| 8/16/2025 | What does it mean to “die to self”? |
| 8/15/2025 | Some people seem to live with a cloud hanging over their heads. This is the case with my son; he just can’t seem to catch a break. I wish there was something I could say to encourage him. |
| 8/14/2025 | What does it mean that God “reveals” Himself to people? |
| 8/13/2025 | America is on the verge of losing our freedoms at so many levels. We rely on being a people with “freedom of choice.” What does that really mean? |
| 8/12/2025 | A woman who teaches a Bible study claims that “God is love” and that God is not capable of hating because He is perfect. I was taught that while God’s love has been demonstrated to all people, there are many things that He hates. Does the Bible speak of God’s hate? |
| 8/11/2025 | Is it possible to find a well of good wishes, or is the human race doomed to looking for hope but never finding it? |
| 8/10/2025 | There is a rapid decline in morality not only in our nation but also in our churches. So many couples who go to church are living together unmarried. Why does the church not preach against this? It’s as if marriage has become obsolete. |
| 8/9/2025 | My daughter’s boyfriend insists that they must live together before marriage to see if they are compatible. My daughter has canceled the engagement, but feels that her hopes have been crushed forever. What can a mother do to help her? |
| 8/8/2025 | As a high school student, I have dreams to play professional basketball. I’m fast but small, and I’m out to prove I can do it. My youth pastor told me to claim Philippians 2:13 and I’ll be successful because Jesus Christ will give me what it takes. My grandma told me not to trust in myself but to claim Matthew 5:8 instead, and told me to search it out. Why would she tell me that? |
| 8/7/2025 | I have never enjoyed a good relationship though I’ve been married several times. I have lots of friends at church that I do things with but they are not people I can depend on. I am beginning to think that I am the problem. How can one know? |
| 8/6/2025 | There’s a lot of talk today about Christians being persecuted but it doesn’t seem the same as during the time of the martyrs who were burned at the stake for their faith in Jesus Christ. |
| 8/5/2025 | Why do many Christians claim that their religion is the only way? Does Jesus really demand that people be narrow-minded and intolerant? |
| 8/4/2025 | How can I be more consistent in my life as a Christian? Almost every day, I start out with good intentions, but then something comes up and I end up acting the same way everyone else does. |
| 8/3/2025 | If it is true that God answers our every prayer, why do I feel like He doesn’t even hear me? |
| 8/2/2025 | I have heard that God is a Spirit. What does that mean? |
| 8/1/2025 | I heard a song that says, “I thank God for unanswered prayers.” It troubled me because I believed that God answers all prayers and that we often think that the prayer is only answered if He gives us what we ask for. When I finished school, I wanted badly to open a medical clinic in a large city and become a humanitarian. The door closed over and over for the strangest reasons. Dejected, I went on a cruise and met a group of physicians that offered me a position to travel to various clinics in remote villages around the world. My life is fulfilled in ways I cannot fathom and I now thank God for the prayers He said no to, realizing that I had prayed “according to His will.” I believe that many people miss blessings from God even when He gives us a no. |
| 7/31/2025 | If God owns everything in Heaven and on Earth, why does the Bible declare Satan as the prince of this world? |
| 7/30/2025 | I was trying to explain to my grandchildren what it means to be in the world but not of the world, and I’m ashamed that I really couldn’t find the right words. Is there a clear answer? |
| 7/29/2025 | When I was first saved I really felt a difference, but now a few years later I don’t feel the same confidence in my decision. Is this normal? |
| 7/28/2025 | I have been battling a serious health issue and have used it to be a witness to my friends, but many of them are telling me that it is a sign that God is not answering prayers for my recovery and now I am beginning to question myself. |
| 7/27/2025 | What does it mean when people say that God is our omnipotent helper, and is the Holy Spirit the same as God? |
| 7/26/2025 | I am studying the early church and my professor claims that the Reformation is what saved Christianity. Does that mean that before this change people were no longer experiencing the new birth—salvation in Christ alone? |
| 7/25/2025 | I have a neighbor who has physical challenges. She can do little for herself and yet she is one of the happiest people I’ve ever known. I am a Christian also, but I do not have the kind of faith she demonstrates. While she is bound to a wheelchair, she never fails to say that she looks to the Lord for her strength every day and says that she mounts up with wings like an eagle. I know that is a Bible verse, but what does it mean? |
| 7/24/2025 | I have been a Christian for many years and have lived a good life, but have failed to thank God for all His blessings. Now that I have cancer, I’m reluctant to pray for God’s help. What can I do? |
| 7/23/2025 | My parents are always after me to “put my best foot forward,” saying that someday I may miss a good opportunity because I wasn’t ready for it. What do they mean? |
| 7/22/2025 | Why do so many of our national leaders talk about prayer and religion yet defy God in everything they do? What can Christians do to sound the alarm? |
| 7/21/2025 | Society seems to have lost its way; at least, there seems to be an absence of conscience. Why do we not hear much about the conscience anymore? |
| 7/20/2025 | Why does the Bible say that God’s name is eternal? |
| 7/19/2025 | It seems harder these days to determine who is speaking truth and who is lying. I know Jesus spoke of truth but it is still hard to decipher between what is true and false, particularly when science is now lifted up as the ultimate truth. |
| 7/18/2025 | My pastor is teaching that we can accept Christ as Savior through our intellect and she says that it does not necessarily take faith, but knowledge. Is this really true? |
| 7/17/2025 | My professors have said that man will destroy the world someday. Other professors say that man will ultimately find a way to live in Utopia. Which is it? |
| 7/16/2025 | It seems so many people claim to be Christians because they do good work and attend church. Is it true that a person can be a professing Christian but not really have faith in Jesus Christ, and should another person dare to ask someone if they truly are a believer? |
| 7/15/2025 | The unrest on college campuses does not get the attention it should. The suicide rates are out of control and there seems to be little concern about the state of our youth. Why is this? |
| 7/14/2025 | My fiancé and I are going through marriage counseling before our wedding. The counselor has told my future husband that his intentions toward me are lustful and sinful and these do not exhibit his love for me. What is the difference between lust and love? |
| 7/13/2025 | It seems that culture goes from good to bad, bad to worse. While I know that there was plenty of immorality in the 20th century, the culture of today seems worse to me. My science professor claims that the judgment of God is a religious scare tactic and that science will one day rid the world of evil. Is this possible and can we truly escape God’s ultimate judgment? |
| 7/12/2025 | Younger generations have been trained by society to seek fun, leisure, and satisfy every whim at an instant. We are even seeing how many of them want to enjoy the benefits of hard work without earning a dollar. This is leading them into things that are empty and fake. How can parents today encourage their young adult children to seek joy instead of happiness? |
| 7/11/2025 | My college roommate announced that she has been called to the mission field. She has a 4.0 GPA and could choose just about any career, but she is bound and determined to give her life in service to God in another country. With how the world is today, this seems dangerous to me and a waste of her life. |
| 7/10/2025 | It is disappointing when people say that Christ changed their lives but there is no evidence. I don’t like hypocrisy, yet I like to accept people for what they are. My mother says that I am using this as an excuse. While I don’t agree with her, I am troubled by my attitude. |
| 7/9/2025 | My daughter gave birth to a child with Down syndrome. My daughter has an amazing outlook, though the days are hard. Her attitude puts mine to shame because I tend to feel more like her husband, disappointed and despaired. We have sorrow about the life ahead, but my daughter has joy in taking care of this little one. Why does God permit this to happen? |
| 7/8/2025 | I don’t want to miss out on life. I want to experience everything I can, but my grandmother’s words haunt me because she always warned about reaping what you sow. Is it possible to live a life of sin and get saved at the last minute? |
| 7/7/2025 | My family is made up of high achievers and I’ve been raised to go after my goals and not let anything stand in the way of reaching them. My pastor says that people can be tricked by what society holds up as high achievement. Is this true? |
| 7/6/2025 | I pray to God every day, but I have no assurance that He hears me, and it never seems to make a difference. Is there a formula to praying so that I can hear from God? |
| 7/5/2025 | The older I get the more I realize that I am wasting my life. I get up in the morning mindful of my responsibilities so I go through the day staying busy, but never finding a purpose in life. Does everyone struggle with this? Surely there must be more to life than working, paying bills, and doing it day after day. |
| 7/4/2025 | Can a Christian lose salvation? |
| 7/3/2025 | I feel guilty sometimes because I long to leave this life and go to Heaven. My family tells me this is sinful—that I should be glad to have the breath of life every day, but I am elderly and live alone, and the more I read my Bible the more I desire to see the Lord. |
| 7/2/2025 | Addiction to prescription drugs is leading to greater problems than what people take the drugs for. It’s one thing to take illegal drugs, but it’s scary to take prescription medicine that causes other problems. This is especially true with antidepressants designed to help us cope. |
| 7/1/2025 | I looked Christianity up in the dictionary and it says that Christianity is a religion based on Jesus Christ. Is that correct? |
| 6/30/2025 | As a Christian, I know I should just overlook it when a friend or family member hurts me but I don’t want to be walked on. This troubles me. What is the right response? |
| 6/29/2025 | My son is a YouTube fanatic and sadly listens to all the wrong things including repeating jokes about Hell and the devil. We’ve tried to explain to him that comedians who joke about the underworld are dangerous. Seldom do preachers ever preach about the seriousness of this matter. Am I overreacting? |
| 6/28/2025 | Should Christians really be involved in war and using weapons against others? |
| 6/27/2025 | Our son (who’s 11) is moderately autistic and has a hard time relating to people. How can he understand things like Heaven or Jesus? I really struggle with this, because my relationship with God is very important to me and I want it to be important to him also. |
| 6/26/2025 | What is wrong with reading a horoscope or consulting a fortuneteller? Sometimes it is right and can help a person avoid a bad situation. |
| 6/25/2025 | What is the secret to overcoming guilt? |
| 6/24/2025 | It is hard to understand how Christians claim that if a person spends their life doing good deeds it doesn’t mean the person will go to Heaven. How can that be? |
| 6/23/2025 | There are frequent references about asking people to pray and ask God for help. I hear this from politicians to preachers, from the media to the medical world, yet when I personally talk to some of these individuals, they really don’t know how to pray. What does this say? |
| 6/22/2025 | I’m studying religious proverbs; many are similar to those found in the Bible. Some say they are meant to make us feel good but it seems that they reveal truth about our sins and failures rather than making us happy about ourselves. |
| 6/21/2025 | Ronald Reagan’s son is speaking on behalf of atheists and agnostics in a television ad. He concludes with the startling statement that he’s not afraid to burn in Hell. What do atheists actually believe? |
| 6/20/2025 | Are angels still operating today, and if so, are there enough to go around and should we worship them as they watch over us? |
| 6/19/2025 | What can be done to change the godless environment that permeates the world? Politics and governments never result in permanent change for the better. |
| 6/18/2025 | My heart’s broken that my daughter who grew up in the church and always loved it has drifted away. She relies on the fact that she’s still a church member but there are no signs that she’s living for the Lord. My friends say that she may never have been saved and may have to go through a difficult time before this happens. I’m looking for a glimmer of hope. |
| 6/17/2025 | What’s the significance of Palm Sunday? Is it more like Christmas Eve … the excitement before the big event? |
| 6/16/2025 | Society is claiming that truth can differ according to individual viewpoints. I am faced with an uncomfortable scenario in my business where I know, and have evidence, of wrongdoing. If I am asked for a statement, the truth could hurt someone, and I could even lose my job. Since I’m a Christian, will God overlook a dishonest answer if He knows my motive is to protect someone? |
| 6/15/2025 | I recently read a book about society living in this age of quest … always asking questions but the answers never satisfying the inquisitive mind. Is there an answer to questions like, “What’s the purpose of life?” |
| 6/14/2025 | People seem perplexed that America’s historical landmarks are being removed and our young people are learning from their elders how not to respect our foundations. We have already seen the Ten Commandments come under attack, and now many people say that the Old Testament is no longer relevant. Will truth prevail? |
| 6/13/2025 | I hear some preachers say that it’s up to God who goes to Heaven and that individuals have no say in the matter. Why do other preachers call people to make a decision for Christ? |
| 6/12/2025 | I don’t see what’s so bad about hanging out with my buddies, but my mom keeps telling me not to follow the crowd and says peer pressure can be stronger than any other temptation. Is that really true? |
| 6/11/2025 | Is it true that Jesus suffered more than any other person did? |
| 6/10/2025 | My husband and I have been married five years and we do love each other; however, he is obsessed with his work. His explanation for always working is to make enough money for us to have everything we want. I work part time to contribute but most of what I make is for childcare. It doesn’t quite make sense but he doesn’t want me to quit until he can save up a nest egg for our future. This is taking a terrible toll on our relationship. What is the answer? |
| 6/9/2025 | So many bad things are happening in the world. Is hope for better times futile? |
| 6/8/2025 | My husband and I have several grandchildren and we are honored to have them visit often. When they do, some of the younger ones ask a lot of questions about God and the answers can be complicated. How much can they understand? |
| 6/7/2025 | My mother was an invalid for a long time. She asked me to pray that she would die so she would not have to suffer. So I did pray for the Lord to take her, and He did. Now I feel guilty and am having a hard time moving on even though I understand that God holds our lives in His hands. |
| 6/6/2025 | I have a lot of friends who are afraid of dying, so they fill their life with working hard to leave an inheritance to their children. They say that it will bring them peace knowing that they are helping their children after they’re gone. Isn’t this skewed thinking? |
| 6/5/2025 | Is God like us or is God basically a vapor or something that is in the atmosphere? |
| 6/4/2025 | Is a person’s destiny in their hands or in the hands of God when it comes to living life now? What does the Bible mean of being mastered by something or someone? |
| 6/3/2025 | A friend of mine asked me to debate whether angels are genderless. When I mentioned Michael and Gabriel being males, she pointed to the fact that females go by those names as well. Is there Scripture that speaks of angels as males? |
| 6/2/2025 | Is God in Heaven right now and is Heaven open for everyone? |
| 6/1/2025 | My mom has put her dad in a facility to help him conquer alcohol addiction. He has been very resistant and I’m afraid that he’ll just get out and go right back to drinking, and when he gets drunk he is very abusive. My mom is an incredible woman because my grandfather lives in her home and she is so patient with him. My mom keeps telling me to have hope that he will get victory over his dependency. Will God help him kick this terrible habit after 40 years and does God consider alcoholism a sin? |
| 5/31/2025 | The progression of social media is of great concern to me as a parent. It’s taking over my teenagers’ every waking moment. They love to post about their activities and their accomplishments. This technology that fits so comfortably in the palm of the hand is distracting my kids from handling real life. Can this really be good for society? |
| 5/30/2025 | Is the lack of patience a sign of selfishness? That’s what my wife claims. I have to admit that she is usually right and I guess she is trying to send me a message. Are impatience and selfishness really connected? |
| 5/29/2025 | I want to be a “people person” but I’m an introvert and it’s difficult for me to open up to others. Is this just a personality trait and can it be changed? |
| 5/28/2025 | I own a small business that hires a lot of young people, but I’m frustrated because I can’t find very many who are reliable and actually want to work. Doesn’t the Bible say we’re not supposed to be lazy? |
| 5/27/2025 | My fiancé and I are getting married this fall. We’ve been nervous about taking this step, because so many of our friends have already been through at least one divorce. We don’t want that to happen to us, but how can we avoid it? |
| 5/26/2025 | How could Jesus have been equal to God (as Christians claim), when He was only a man? I can understand why you’d want to try making Him into something great, but claiming He was God doesn’t make any sense to me. |
| 5/25/2025 | It’s suddenly hit me that my relationship with God isn’t much different today than it was 30 years ago, when I first joined my church. Have I been missing something? |
| 5/24/2025 | Why is abortion such a big issue for Christians? |
| 5/23/2025 | What’s the best way to deal with difficult people? I know my sister hasn’t had a very easy life, but the main reason is because she’s so hard to get along with. She’s coming to visit us in a few weeks, and I honestly dread it. |
| 5/22/2025 | Why did God even bother to create us? He must have known that we were going to sin and turn against Him. This has always puzzled me. |
| 5/21/2025 | I hear preachers say that we need to accept Jesus, but I’m not sure I understand what that means. I’d like to be sure that I’m a Christian, but I don’t know if I really am. |
| 5/20/2025 | I promised myself at the beginning of the year that I would begin to memorize Bible verses so that I can recall God’s promises. Why is this so hard for people? |
| 5/19/2025 | My husband is serving in the U.S. military as a chaplain and is committed to fighting, not only to maintain the freedoms that our forefathers won, but the freedom to worship God while serving in the military; but he stays defeated. Is there a word of encouragement for him? |
| 5/18/2025 | I know God wants us to love everyone, even people that aren’t very lovable. But I just can’t bring myself to love some of the people I have to deal with at work, no matter how hard I try. In fact, I’ve just stopped trying. Am I wrong? |
| 5/17/2025 | My closest friend through childhood was someone I always respected for his great mind and personality. But we eventually grew apart. I’ve learned that he’s in prison and bitter at the world. I’ve tried to reach him with God’s love, but he is even bitter at God. Is he hopeless? |
| 5/16/2025 | I’m not trying to be difficult, but if Jesus paid the price for all our sins, then why should we bother to keep the Ten Commandments? After all, the Bible says we can’t be saved by keeping God’s laws, doesn’t it? |
| 5/15/2025 | I was brought up in the mid-20th century where most businesses were closed on Sundays. In recent decades, this has all changed and everything is open on Sundays, requiring people to work as though Sunday is just another day. Is it wrong for a Christian to work on Sunday? |
| 5/14/2025 | We moved to a new town recently, and we seem to be the only family in our neighborhood that goes to church. Those I’ve talked with say they don’t think it’s important, and anyway they say they have better things to do on weekends. How should we react? We don’t want to come across as conceited or holier-than-thou. |
| 5/13/2025 | I lived through the Great Depression but what we are going through today in this country doesn’t compare. A more serious depression is taking the lives of the elderly and even the young people. We brag about our progress but with the high numbers of suicide, I don’t believe this is the progress we had hoped for. It seems that depression takes a toll on the mind and the body! |
| 5/12/2025 | I’ve heard people say that we ought to love God, but how can I love God when I know He’s keeping a record of all the bad things I’ve done and will punish me severely when I die? I’m afraid of God, but I don’t love Him. |
| 5/11/2025 | I respect the Bible and I suppose it has things to teach us, but isn’t it kind of out of date, since it talks about people who lived a very long time ago? At least that’s what it seems to me whenever I’ve tried to read it. |
| 5/10/2025 | My family has been watching a documentary on reincarnation and now my teenagers seriously believe that they may have lived at another time. I thought by allowing them to watch this program it would broaden their minds but instead it has troubled them. I don’t know how to turn them around. |
| 5/9/2025 | There are so many pictures of Jesus and they all have a similar look. How could anyone even hundreds of years ago have known what He looked like? All we have are His words, right? |
| 5/8/2025 | I was spellbound to read about the archaeology digs in Egypt in 2021. Is there anything tangible that Jesus left on Earth that has been uncovered? |
| 5/7/2025 | Is The Bible true? |
| 5/6/2025 | I don’t think we have to look to God to find out how to deal with our problems. After all, hasn’t He given us the ability to deal with them on our own? We just need to use our minds and approach our problems logically to find the answers. |
| 5/5/2025 | I keep hearing about young people leaving the church and they are known as “the nones,” believing in something but not identifying with religion. How can this be? |
| 5/4/2025 | My parents are aging and suddenly they are obsessed with “setting their house in order” before they die, both financially and spiritually. And now they want me to do the same though I’m in the prime of life. Why should I be saddled with such a dismal task? |
| 5/3/2025 | I remember giving my life to Jesus in Sunday school when I was about 10 years old. I was sincere at the time, but eventually I drifted away from God and the church. If I died tonight would I still get to go to Heaven? This worries me now that I’m older. |
| 5/2/2025 | Are science and religion opposed to each other? I’ll be entering college in a few weeks, and I hope to become a doctor someday. But I’m a committed Christian, and I’m wondering what kind of problems I might have to face in some of my science classes. |
| 5/1/2025 | There seems to be an agenda to discount what the Bible says about almost everything these days and I am afraid that in time the Bible will be outlawed. Is that even possible? |
| 4/30/2025 | Why do people continue to doubt the validity of Jesus, His history, and claims when it has stood the test of time? As a seminary student, it’s discouraging to hear Bible professors question God’s truth. I know the truth for myself, but I wish I could be more articulate in my responses when this subject continues to surface. |
| 4/29/2025 | If you were to ask me what I believe about God, I’d probably have to say that I’m an atheist. I know some atheists are very belligerent and aren’t open to believing in God, but I’m not like that. Can you give me any reason to believe in God? |
| 4/28/2025 | I stole some money from my employer (a doctor) over 40 years ago, and I still feel very guilty over it. I’d pay it back (with interest), but neither he nor his medical practice is still around. What does God want me to do? Or does it make any difference now? |
| 4/27/2025 | My son asked me what I wanted for Mother’s Day. In an effort to pique his interest in the things of God, I asked for a new Bible in black. My intention was to re-gift it to him. Instead, he gave me a book about being our own gods and he told me that he could not give me a Bible because it was full of contradictions. I didn’t know how to answer him. |
| 4/26/2025 | It has been sad to watch the entertainment companies go from family entertainment to vile entertainment. How is it possible to keep a pure mind? |
| 4/25/2025 | Is it true that people find different ways to God? |
| 4/24/2025 | I would like to believe in Jesus but so many of my friends tell me that it could be a negative experience because a person has to give up so much. I’m not sure I can do that. |
| 4/23/2025 | Is it possible to lead a sinless life, if we just try hard enough? I hope so, because I want to please God and go to heaven someday. But I’m not sure I can measure up, at least not right now. |
| 4/22/2025 | Where did evil come from and why does God allow it? |
| 4/21/2025 | My boyfriend and I have been dating a long time but we aren’t sure we’re compatible because we fight from time to time. Should we forget marriage? |
| 4/20/2025 | The Bible indicates that God is sometimes angry. I become angry about many things and I’m a Christian. I feel guilty about it but when I see children mistreated and injustices around the world, I cannot contain my anger. Is it ever right to be angry? |
| 4/19/2025 | Society is steeped in sensuality. Years ago, the answer was that young people needed more education in the area of sexual relations, but it seems to me that this is what has caused the moral fibers to deteriorate. As a youth pastor, I wonder what I can do to encourage young people to seek Christ more. |
| 4/18/2025 | As a recent retiree, I have to admit that I am fearful for the future when I look at the state of the world and how it impacts all of us. I admit that I worry that I’ll have enough money to sustain me in my old age. How does one stop worry before it destroys them? |
| 4/17/2025 | America celebrates Memorial Day by taking a day off, but it seems that we forget why we designate this day of remembrance. Is our country in danger of “forgetting” what is important? |
| 4/16/2025 | I’ve been praying for a co-worker who is severely depressed. I came right out and asked if she’d give her heart to the Lord. To my grief, she was greatly offended. |
| 4/15/2025 | Is it true that God’s love is different from what most people think of as love? |
| 4/14/2025 | Is it important to have a baby christened? This used to be a big deal but not so much anymore. |
| 4/13/2025 | It is hard to watch the breakdown of our nation and to hear the talking heads pontificate on the changes that have taken place in society, particularly the pride in living without religious trappings. Why do people resent the power of God but devise idols that can only feed their greed for power over others? |
| 4/12/2025 | The conflict between communities and law enforcement is troubling. It seems people are forgetting the purpose of the laws we’ve lived by for over 200 years. It’s no wonder many rebel against the God of the Ten Commandments. |
| 4/11/2025 | Nearly every day there is an article about how social media has changed society, and it has also changed the church world. I suppose some of the changes are good, but is the price too high to pay? |
| 4/10/2025 | I play college baseball and am also a youth pastor. I like to use sports analogies in my messages but am criticized for it. Is this wrong? |
| 4/9/2025 | I read an article the other day about a woman who had been a committed atheist, and somehow she became a Christian. But I have some friends who are atheists, and I can’t imagine any of them ever believing in God or becoming Christians. Could they ever change? |
| 4/8/2025 | In the age of tolerance—accepting everything—I wonder if the Bible teaches tolerance as a good principle or attribute? |
| 4/7/2025 | I am trying to teach my teenagers the importance of showing respect for those who have died, but my friends tell me that young people should not be burdened with sickness, death, and funerals. I grew up helping the sick and attending funerals, even funerals of teenagers. It seems that learning to deal with death is part of life. |
| 4/6/2025 | I get amused when my Christian friends quote the Bible. Don’t they know it’s thousands of years old, and we live in a totally different world today? How can anyone claim it’s of any use to us? |
| 4/5/2025 | I recently discovered that my father has a prison record, something that happened when I was too young to know. The respect and admiration that I have had for him is dead and I am in agony to think I was never told the truth. Am I wrong? |
| 4/4/2025 | I visited the Titanic exhibit and found it interesting to read the account of how many “souls” were lost in that tragedy. It makes me curious as to why people are referred to as souls instead of bodies or people. We cannot see a soul; is it similar to our imaginations? |
| 3/29/2025 | I own several versions of the Bible but have been told that the King James Version is the most popular. This is surprising when some of the language is archaic. Why is this? |
| 3/28/2025 | I grew up in a home where nasty language was used at the kitchen table and in every conversation. When I became an adult, it was natural to communicate the same way. I’ve become a Christian and friends tell me that I should clean up my mouth. Can this habit be broken? |
| 3/27/2025 | What’s so wrong with pride, which you preachers seem criticize so much? In my opinion, pride is a good thing, because if you don’t have pride in what you do, you’ll never accomplish anything worthwhile. Why is the Bible against pride? |
| 3/26/2025 | There have always been wicked leaders of the world. Is man capable of determining good leaders from bad leaders? Does the Bible call out wicked leaders? |
| 3/25/2025 | Is humanitarian work God’s work? |
| 3/24/2025 | People say I am crazy for thinking my pet will be in Heaven when she dies. What does the Bible says about pets? |
| 3/23/2025 | I’m dealing with a lot of grief. At times, I feel paralyzed. I’ve been so wrapped up in my career that I failed to care for my elderly parents who died without any loved ones around them. It’s something I can’t undo. Can I ever overcome such grief? |
| 3/22/2025 | For the most part, I’m a happy person. I’ve been married for two years, have an important job, and quite a large Facebook following and have invested a lot of time into building a cool platform. But many posts I read make me wonder what life is all about. Even when things are going well, I’m still wandering around in life. |
| 3/21/2025 | People throw around the idea of praying about everything. Many people who claim this show no other religious interest. I take prayer seriously, but I’m afraid to pray because I might not like the answer. At times, the whole idea of prayer seems stifling. |
| 3/20/2025 | Does God determine everything that happens to us or can we make our own decisions regardless of what God would prefer we do in life? If he directs our every action then we are not responsible for the outcome, right? |
| 3/19/2025 | Why do we need religion today? I think science is able to explain most of the mysteries that religion used to deal with. I don’t mean to offend you, but I think religion is outdated. |
| 3/18/2025 | There is so much said today about young people not being able to “adult.” I’m told it means that young people are not being taught how to grow up. What is the problem? |
| 3/17/2025 | I am 50 years old and have experienced everything good that life has to offer. I have a pretty wife, praiseworthy children, a prosperous career, pleasurable travel, and prepared for retirement. Why does peace elude me? |
| 3/16/2025 | Do people understand that what is considered sexual freedom is actually pornography? How has society become so entrenched in sexual perversion but not recognizing it for what it is? |
| 3/15/2025 | I’ve never understood the concept of walking with God. I grew up in church, but it doesn’t make sense to me to walk with someone who is not on Earth. |
| 3/14/2025 | I’ve earned four degrees and have traveled around the world. This has helped me understand people and cultures and the reasons why people are so different, and even hostile toward one another. Most hatred seems to come from religious persuasions. People fight over the silliest things, like how the world was created. Why not just get rid of religion and let people work things out? |
| 3/13/2025 | The Statue of Liberty is a symbol that America has always been proud of because it represents the freedom offered to those who come to this nation the “right way.” The Christian faith is built on the liberty that Jesus won for us at the cross, and I hope that believers everywhere will share this story with those who are looking for the right way to come to salvation in Jesus Christ. |
| 3/12/2025 | I’m Christian and have become a legal immigrant to the USA and am thankful for my new citizenship. I came here to find the happiness that the U.S. Constitution promises. I have to say, however, that I’ve had nothing but trouble in finding a job and it’s been hard to find friends that I can relate to. |
| 3/11/2025 | Is Christianity the first religion or did Christianity copy from religions that were already in the world? |
| 3/10/2025 | I’m a Christian but I disagree with the teaching about the narrow road—a rejection of all that is exciting about life. I can still be a follower of Christ but take part in all the world has to offer, right? |
| 3/9/2025 | Why have Christians always been called to a higher standard of behavior? I’m confused by two conflicting statements in the Bible: “When in Rome do as the Romans,” and “Don’t be conformed to this world.” |
| 3/8/2025 | My friend who is a humanist says that the Bible is an archaic book written by uneducated people in a very illiterate time in history. She claims that Bible-believers are wasting time, money, and energy when they could be using these valuable resources for something worthwhile, like solving the world’s problems instead of worshiping a nonexistent God. She says that someday the world will rid the Bible completely. |
| 3/7/2025 | Should Christians interact with non-religious people since the Bible says that we are to be separated from the world? |
| 3/6/2025 | A phrase has emerged in society that everyone uses now but few can explain what it means: “a person of faith.” I’m a person of faith in that I believe in God, but I don’t consider myself a Christian because there’s a great deal of the Bible I disagree with. |
| 3/5/2025 | I’m a youth leader and want to help kids understand the purpose of praising and worshiping the Lord and not just singing repetitious lyrics. I’m afraid that people today believe that music is the essence of worshiping the Lord. |
| 3/4/2025 | I’ve been told that I cannot be an effective Christian without the Holy Spirit of God in my life. How does a person receive the spirit of God? |
| 3/3/2025 | Is there an unseen force that enables people to believe in Jesus? |
| 3/2/2025 | I’ve been successful in college football and basketball, but finally received a political science degree. My parents were disappointed I didn’t become a celebrated athlete. They told me I can be anything I want to be. Is it important for everyone to make a name for themselves? My church gave me a Bible verse to encourage me: Philippians 4:13. Is this the best one to use? |
| 3/1/2025 | I heard a preacher on television say that God picks and chooses who gets saved. That seems weird to me. Is there any truth in that? |
| 2/28/2025 | I grew up an only child in a wealthy environment abroad. My parents indulged me in every way and left discipline to my au pair who wanted only to please my parents. I took advantage of my freedom and as I grew older, I worked the system, getting what I wanted when I wanted it. I am now a mother and spoiled and my marriage is in trouble. While I’ve seen the bad results of my raising and the damage it’s caused—particularly in my relationships—it’s hard to believe that I can really change from what’s ingrained in me. My sweet mother-in-law says it is possible through Jesus Christ. Really? |
| 2/27/2025 | Why do people resent the message of Christians today that Jesus is the answer? Surely they cannot believe that the world will ever find a way out of the mess that the world is in today. |
| 2/26/2025 | What does the phrase “fruit of the Spirit” mean? |
| 2/25/2025 | I’ve always been a fiercely independent person, feeling I could solve all my problems on my own (and I usually have). Well, last year I became a Christian, and now people are telling me I need to change and become meek and mild. Does God expect me to change my whole personality? |
| 2/24/2025 | One of my uncles says God is like a stern judge, just waiting to punish us when we do wrong. But another uncle says he’s wrong, because God is like a kindly father who loves us and forgives us, no matter what we do. Who is right? |
| 2/23/2025 | What does it mean to say that Christ is the foundation of the church and also the head of the church? Aren’t pastors, priests, and popes head of the church? |
| 2/22/2025 | I’ve heard the Bible says somewhere that Satan is actually an angel (or something like that). I thought angels are supposed to be good, but isn’t Satan supposed to be evil? |
| 2/21/2025 | My sister and her husband are always praying about decisions they have to make, but I think they just need to use their brains to decide what to do. After all, why did God give us a brain if He didn’t expect us to use it? |
| 2/20/2025 | My life is out of sync. When I was in college, I was arrogant and people warned me that if I didn’t humble myself, I was doomed. I forced myself to come to reality with my ego. Now with teenagers, I’m afraid to take a stand with my children and say no to things that aren’t right in order to be humble and congenial. Is there a way to find balance between these two emotions and be the dad I should be? |
| 2/19/2025 | I wish someone had warned me about how dangerous our words can be. My mother and I had harsh words over something she did about six months ago, and we haven’t spoken since. She’s stubborn and I know she’ll never apologize, but I still wish I’d just held my tongue. |
| 2/18/2025 | I heard from a religious friend of mine that Jesus is going to come back to earth someday. But how will we know if He does? Maybe He’ll be born in some remote part of the world and we’ll never even hear about Him. |
| 2/17/2025 | It’s hard to accept the Christian faith when the Bible teaches about a God who hates. Christians speak out of both sides of their mouth when they say that God’s love is unconditional and then say that He also hates. How can these statements be reconciled? |
| 2/16/2025 | My wife had a career dropped in her lap out of nowhere and this once gracious and sweet person has become full of power and pride. It’s putting a strain on our relationship and she’s all but forgotten her first responsibility as a wife and mother. She demands the red carpet treatment at home just as she gets from her career. At first, I was glad she had been rewarded but I fear that she’s losing sight of what she once knew, that God hates those who walk in a prideful way. I pray she will come to her senses. |
| 2/15/2025 | A leading celebrity talk show host, who has the ears of the nation and particularly with young adults, said the way to achieve inner peace is through exercises that cultivate mind-awareness, balance, and happiness—that success and acceptance follow. This approach—taking personal charge of one’s life—is being embraced not only by the young but also by more mature people, particularly women. Is this the truth? |
| 2/14/2025 | I’m living with extreme regret because of unkind things I’ve said to my family and co-workers. I’ve repented of this behavior and have gone to each person asking forgiveness. I see this same behavior in others now who make up lies and cause friction and want to see others have victory over this terrible behavior. |
| 2/13/2025 | I’ve lived a lonely life since my husband died 10 years ago. I live out in the country and it’s hard for me to get around. I’ve outlived my small family but look forward to reading this column. What part of the Bible is the best to read that will renew my hope and give rest to my fears? |
| 2/12/2025 | Am I the only one that notices people losing touch with reality? Social media has kidnapped society. Just witness the toddlers in strollers. Instead of hugging teddy bears, they handle iPhones with the best of them. Instead of reading menus in restaurants parents, pull the choices up on their devices while taking a phone call. Even grandparents observe their grandchildren on Facebook watching cartoons on their iPads. Can we find a way of escaping this hold on the world and finding something real and lasting? |
| 2/11/2025 | When I was growing up my parents crammed the Bible down my throat. I could not go outside to play until I memorized a Bible verse. To be honest, it drove me away from the things of God as I got older and I rebelled. As a parent of young children today, I have a different perspective on what my parents were trying to do, but is there a better way to make children respect Scripture? |
| 2/10/2025 | My history professor stated that the Bible isn’t a reliable source and will not allow students to use any reference from God’s Word for any assignment. He claims that the writers of the Bible were uneducated and served their own purposes. One student dared to ask him if he’s read the Bible from cover to cover before handing down such an absurdity. He answered that he could not waste precious time on a fraudulent book. |
| 2/9/2025 | Isn’t it generally known that the devil disguises himself as an angel of light, which can deceive people if they are not paying attention? Is it possible to sin so much that a person loses sight of what is good and evil? |
| 2/8/2025 | Why does the Bible instruct believers to examine ourselves, and is this something that we should do publicly or in private? |
| 2/7/2025 | Does a Christian have to tithe? |
| 2/6/2025 | How can we explain the senseless acts of violence that seem to happen almost every day? I was brought up to believe we all have a conscience, and therefore we all should know the difference between right and wrong. But this doesn’t seem to be the case with some people today. |
| 2/5/2025 | I know I’m supposed to worship God when I go to church, but I can’t say I always do. My thoughts wander, or I get to thinking about the people around me and I come away disappointed in myself for not really worshiping. How can I keep from being distracted? |
| 2/4/2025 | I want to go to Heaven and I think I will, but I reject what many Christians say that there is only one way to get there in the Name of Jesus. There are other good religions, and I believe someday all religions will become one, encompassing the diversity that God created. Christians don’t make the laws and own Heaven. A loving God would not be so precise as to allow only one way. |
| 2/3/2025 | My friends say that my Christian faith requires the whole world to conform to it. That’s not true, but rather Christians proclaim God’s truth so that others have the opportunity to receive the love and freedom Jesus offers to everyone. On the other hand, they refuse to admit that the world insists that Christians conform to their standards of godlessness. I’ve even told them about the early martyrs that would rather die than conform to the ways of the world. Which is correct? |
| 2/2/2025 | I watched a documentary in school about the “tales” of the Bible and the afterlife. The one that bothered me the most was the lie about there being many roads to Heaven and that because Hell is a fictional place, there are no roads to this awful place. Most of the students believed the documentary over the Bible. Didn’t Jesus speak of Hell often? |
| 2/1/2025 | What does it mean to be spiritually mature? |
| 1/31/2025 | I just started college, and when my roommate found out I was a Christian, he laughed and said it wouldn’t be long before I threw it all overboard. When I asked why, he said it’s because no intelligent person can be a Christian. Is he right? |
| 1/30/2025 | Do you think we’ll ever get back to the days when they allowed prayer in our public schools? When I was young, we used to pray and read the Bible in school every day, but my grandchildren aren’t able to experience this, and it upsets me a great deal. |
| 1/29/2025 | It’s been fascinating to read about letters that Jesus sent to the churches after His resurrection. Some pastors say that the church today is described in the letter to Laodicea. If that’s true, it isn’t too hopeful because the churches are more into politics than the Bible, losing their first love. |
| 1/28/2025 | How does a person become more like Jesus? Is there somewhere in the Bible that describes what Jesus is like? |
| 1/27/2025 | I am a caregiver and work with an organization that comforts people in their last days. I’ve been in the presence of people who are dying with bitterness and I’ve been with people who are, in spite of pain, secure in what happens to them after death and they tell me about Jesus. Often they minister to me more than I minister to them. What a blessing to be in the presence of God’s people when they go into a promised eternity with God. |
| 1/26/2025 | I know it is an age-old question, but why does God allow people to suffer so much in this world? |
| 1/25/2025 | My cousin doesn’t want anything to do with God. The reason, she says, is because she had a bad experience in a church when she was growing up, and it really soured her on religion. What can I say to her? |
| 1/24/2025 | If a Christian commits suicide, is he/she still saved? |
| 1/23/2025 | Is it true that Christianity is different from every other religion? |
| 1/22/2025 | It seems hard to comprehend the Bible’s claim that God is the final authority when things are such a mess in the world. Doesn’t it seem Christians are only losing ground and sin is more acceptable? |
| 1/21/2025 | People tell me that I need to cut off my relationships with some of my friends just because they don’t share my faith. I really enjoy spending time with them, but afterwards I feel guilty for the things I’ve done to gain their acceptance. How can I resolve this inner conflict? |
| 1/20/2025 | If Jesus came to save people from suffering, why does the world continue in war, hate, and discrimination? Does God care about the terrible things that go on in this world? Christians talk about “good news” of salvation but the world gets worse. |
| 1/19/2025 | My closest friend has been like a sister to me but always made me promise never to talk about my faith in God. Now she has suddenly become very religious and wants me to enter into her religious beliefs, but I think she is involved in a cult. How can a person know the difference between real faith and a cult? |
| 1/18/2025 | I have found a new life in Christ and suddenly I’m an outcast with my peers. Just because I’m committed to a Bible study and serving in the church, I’m called a fanatic. It hurts especially because I’ve always been enthusiastic for anything they’ve wanted to do. Am I being too Heavenly minded? |
| 1/17/2025 | Several classmates went with me to Washington, D.C., to attend the March for Life. We’ve listened to both sides of this debate, which is no debate at all—abortion is simply wrong. There must be a deeper issue that makes others so hostile to those who believe in the right to life. |
| 1/16/2025 | It seems that secularism would work out fine if it weren’t mixed with religion. Shouldn’t belief in Jesus be applied only to the realm of spiritual things? Surely faith in God should be kept out of everything except religion and let man handle the business and scientific world. |
| 1/15/2025 | I believe that there is a God and that he makes himself a representative in each religion so that every culture can worship in their own way. But I wonder why he allows racism to grow in the hearts of people causing such hatred and disdain. There isn’t much in the Bible about racism. Does God turn a blind eye? |
| 1/14/2025 | I watch the needless wars that accomplish nothing; they only end in gruesome death. Then I wonder what hope there is for a man who has lived a life of sin like I have and now am facing the reality of death with no possibility to make amends for a life ill lived. |
| 1/13/2025 | There is so much talk about the world coming to an end: that the conditions are ripe for the final war that brings about destruction. Why does this narrative crop up when a war breaks out? |
| 1/12/2025 | I know God is supposed to be all-powerful, but why doesn’t He do something about all the misery and suffering in the world? Maybe He isn’t so powerful after all. |
| 1/11/2025 | My professor had been teaching that if a person can’t prove that God exists that person is foolish to believe in Him because he would be living a fantasy. Sadly, the professor who was known for being in deep depression took his own life and it has left the class in shock and awe. |
| 1/10/2025 | I hear so many people talk about prayer—celebrities as they receive their awards, sports figures when they win, politicians when they campaign, and others from all walks of life; yet their lives do not reflect a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Do these people know what praying in the Name of Jesus really means? |
| 1/9/2025 | Not until a national tragedy do we hear much about prayer. Yet we seldom hear anyone declining prayer. But for all the religions represented in our nation, everyone prays to a different God. Does this really make sense? |
| 1/8/2025 | Where/how do you draw the line between helping someone and allowing someone to take advantage of you? |
| 1/7/2027 | If angels are real, then why can’t we see them? I know you often see pictures or figures of them with wings and halos and everything, but how do we know what they look like, or even if they exist? |
| 1/6/2025 | With so much chaos and confusion in the world today, I wonder if we are living in the End Times. What do I need to know to prepare for the end times? |
| 1/5/2025 | Why didn’t someone tell me how hard it is being a parent? I need answers to help me be a better parent. |
| 1/4/2025 | When the world’s desperately in need of peace and Jesus is proclaimed as the peacemaker, why did He tell people He came to divide people? |
| 1/3/2025 | I wish I could find balance in life but I am unstable in my thoughts and actions. I’ve tried everything there is, but some say the oppression is caused by having no self-confidence. Is this true? |
| 1/2/2025 | Why are some of the prophets considered less than the other prophets if indeed they all were spokesman for God? |
| 1/1/2025 | After college, I ended up taking what I thought was a temporary job, and five years later I’m still in it. Why hasn’t God given me something exciting, instead of a job I don’t really care about? |
