“I don’t see how anyone could think that the devil isn’t real — not with all the evil that goes on in the world today. But will the devil ever be defeated? I’d like to think so, but the world doesn’t seem to be getting any better, does it?”
“I guess you could say I burned my bridges with my family over 20 years ago. They weren't perfect, but I have to admit I was the main problem. Now that I'm older (and hopefully wiser), I'd like to get back in contact, but they aren't interested. Should I just forget it?”
“I'd like to give my life to Jesus but if I do I'm afraid I won't be able to stick with it and live like I'm supposed to. I guess I'm too weak to be a Christian.”
“I know you'll tell me God loves me, but you don't know how much hurt I've caused and what a terrible person I've been. I know I need God and I wish I could believe He loves me, but I just can't.”
“I'll be 89 on my next birthday, and I know I don't have much longer to live. How can I know that I'll go to heaven? I've always tried to be a good person, but maybe I haven't been good enough.”
“Does the Bible say that some day God will take our old bodies and remake them so they'll never grow old? I don't understand how this is possible, since our bodies disintegrate after we die and hardly anything is left.”
“Is it possible to be so far from God that it becomes impossible for Him to reach you? I worry about this with my brother, because he's never had any use for God and I don't think he'll ever change.”
“Our son got hooked on drugs, eventually got caught dealing drugs and now is in prison. This has broken our hearts, of course, but what hurts almost as much is that no one in our church ever asks about him or says they're praying for him (or us). Shouldn't they be concerned?”
“I really do believe in Jesus, but sometimes I wonder if it's all too good to be true. What I mean is, how can God possibly love us and forgive us when we treat Him so badly? If I were God, I don't think I'd bother with the human race, let alone let us into heaven.”
“My boyfriend and I just broke up, and it’s really crushed me. One reason is because when we started dating we were both convinced God had brought us together, but I guess it wasn’t true. Where did I go wrong? Where was God in all this?”
“Can you give me even one reason why I ought to keep myself sexually pure? I’m 16, and I don’t see why I shouldn’t have the same fun my friends do, no matter what my parents say. But I promised them I’d write you.”
“How do you explain something like the earthquake in Haiti? We’ve really been saddened by what’s happened there, and we just don’t understand why God lets things like this happen. Do you have any answers?
