Why do some people refuse to have anything to do with God, no matter what happens to them?

“Why do some people refuse to have anything to do with God, no matter what happens to them? My uncle has always been kind of wild, but when he almost died last year in a motorcycle crash he just laughed it off, and told me to mind my own business when I suggested God might be trying to speak to him.”

I was adopted as a baby, and while I know my parents loved me, I've always had a deep yearning to hear my own father say he loves me also.

Can the devil hear you when you pray out loud?

“Can the devil hear you when you pray out loud? If so, maybe we should just pray silently, because then he wouldn't be able to step in and block our prayers. Maybe I shouldn't worry about this, but I do.”

What's wrong with salting your speech with what people used to call bad language, as long as you aren't offending anyone?

“What's wrong with salting your speech with what people used to call bad language, as long as you aren't offending anyone? My wife disagrees, but most people talk this way, so why worry about it? After all, I don't think the Bible says anything about this.”

My friend says all I have to do to get God to forgive me is just ask Him to do it.

“My friend says all I have to do to get God to forgive me is just ask Him to do it. Is this true? God probably doesn't like the way I'm living, but if He'll keep forgiving me as long as I remember to ask Him to, then I'll stop worrying about it.”

I've gotten on a lot of mailing lists for religious organizations. I'm sure they all do good work, and I know they need money, but how do I decide which ones to give to?

“I've gotten on a lot of mailing lists for religious organizations. I'm sure they all do good work, and I know they need money, but how do I decide which ones to give to? I feel badly that I can't give more.”

Who or what is the Holy Spirit? I don't come from a religious background, but I gave my life to Jesus a few months ago.

My friend claims to be an atheist, and I don't know what to say to him. I am a Christian, but he bombards me with questions I can't answer and I feel stupid.

“My friend claims to be an atheist, and I don't know what to say to him. I am a Christian, but he bombards me with questions I can't answer and I feel stupid. He really needs Jesus because his life is kind of messed up, but I'm afraid I'm not a very good witness. What can I do?”

I apologize if this is a silly question, but why didn't Jesus wait until now to come to earth?

Do I have to become a preacher or missionary in order to serve God?

“Do I have to become a preacher or missionary in order to serve God? I'm in high school, and last year I gave my life to Jesus. I don't think I'm cut out to be a preacher, but I really want to serve God.”

I know the Bible says we're supposed to fear God, but doesn't it also say we're supposed to love Him?

“I know the Bible says we're supposed to fear God, but doesn't it also say we're supposed to love Him? How can you love someone that you also fear? This confuses me because it sounds like a contradiction.”
