“I can understand how God might send hard times to people who aren’t religious so they’ll turn to Him, but why would He send hard times to people who are already close to Him? Religious people seem to suffer just as much as non-religious people, don’t they?”
“I never gave much thought to God until I had a heart attack last year. My buddies laugh and say I turned to God just because I was scared, and that I'm not serious about it. How can I convince them that Jesus has really changed my life?”
“I decided I needed to start going to church, but I ended up in a church with lots of problems, and I've given up on religion. If Christians can't get along with each other, why should I become one?”
“I've achieved almost everything I ever wanted in life, but as I look back I realize it's still left me empty inside, and I don't know why. They say money can't buy happiness, and I know now that it's true, but where can I find it?”
“I have several Christian friends, but to be honest they live kind of dull lives. They say I need to become a Christian, but I can't get very excited about it, frankly. Am I missing something?”
“Is it possible to become addicted to just about anything? My husband spends hours and hours every day playing games on the computer, when he ought to be out looking for a job (he lost his six months ago). I love him, but this is really getting under my skin.”
“When I was younger, I did a lot of bad things, and I've never gotten over feeling guilty about them. I'd feel better if I knew God would forgive me, but I can't see any reason why He should. Can you?”
“I'd like to think that when I die it won't be the end of me, but there will be another life of some kind out there for me. Is this just wishful thinking?”
“My high school science teacher says we humans are just animals, and God didn't have anything to do with putting us here. This is really confusing me, because I've always tried to believe what the Bible says.”
“I decided to give my life to Jesus a few months ago, but what do I do now? I guess I'm supposed to give up my bad habits, but what else is there to it?”
“I've decided to read a chapter of the New Testament every day this year. But I don't understand why there are four separate accounts of Jesus' life instead of just one. They all seem to say the same thing. Can you help?”
“I suppose you get letters like this every year, but I made a long list of New Year's resolutions this year and in less than a week I've broken them all. There wasn't anything wrong with them, and they would have made me a better person, but why can't I keep them?”
