“Why does the devil keep trying to win the battle between good and evil, when he must know that at the end of time he's not going to be the victor? God is going to win in the end, isn't He?”
“I know you've said that we'll never have world peace until Jesus comes again, but does that mean governments and diplomats shouldn't at least try to work toward a more peaceful world? Surely God wants us to work for peace, doesn't He?”
“I'm in prison because I got angry and killed someone, and I'm haunted by guilt. Someone told me that Jesus forgave a murderer once, but when I challenged him to prove it he couldn't find it in the Bible. I wish I could believe God will forgive me, but I can't.”
“Which is more important, your talk or your walk? A friend of mine is constantly talking about what God has done for him, but his life certainly doesn't measure up to what a Christian ought to be.”
“A friend of mine claims to be interested in Christianity, but whenever I answer one of his questions, he just comes up with another question. Do you think he's sincere, or am I wasting my time trying to talk to him about Jesus?”
“Our town has been shocked recently because of violence in our schools. It's gotten so bad they're putting police in the schools. These things didn't happen when I was growing up. What's happening to our young people? Is there any hope of reversing it?”

“I just got out of college, and I'm in a panic because I don't have any idea what I want to do. Right now, I'm working in a restaurant, but I don't want to do that the rest of my life. I admit I goofed off more than I should have but now it's catching up with me. How can I decide?”
“I know you like to say that God loves us, but what about someone who isn't talented or doesn't have any money or isn't successful? Does He love them, too? I'd like to think God loves me, but I honestly can't see why He should.”
“I know I ought to pay more attention to God and be more active in my church, but I’m so busy trying to keep my business going that I have a hard time fitting everything in. Does God understand this, or is He upset because I’m not giving Him as much attention as I should?”
“I've been asked to be on the search committee for a new pastor for our church. What should we be looking for? We want someone who's friendly and preaches well, but what else should we be concerned about?”
