“Does God still heal people, like He did when Jesus was on earth? If He does, then why do we need doctors and medicine? Shouldn’t a strong faith be enough, and isn’t that what God wants us to have?”
“I notice you always use the Bible as your source for what you believe, but how do you know it can be trusted? Maybe it's just a bunch of myths.”
“How do I know when I make a decision about something that it'll be right? I'm afraid I'm not very good at making wise decisions.”
“Did Jesus ever smile or laugh, or was He solemn all the time? I have a friend who’s very solemn, and he says he doesn’t believe in laughing or cracking jokes, because Jesus never laughed, and we ought to be like Jesus.”
“Why has God forgotten me? I've been divorced for 15 years, and every time I think I've found the right man, I get dumped. I long to have someone love me, and I pray and pray but it doesn't do any good.”
“By the time you get this, I'll be in college, and the truth is I'm kind of scared. It'll be my first time away from home (I worked after high school), and I'm not even sure I've made the right decision. Do you have any advice for me?”
“What does the devil look like? I've seen pictures people have drawn, but are they accurate? If we knew what he looked like maybe we'd be able to avoid him.”
“How much sin can you get away with and still be a Christian? My friend claims to be a Christian, and I guess he is, but his lifestyle doesn’t seem to be any different from his unreligious friends.”
“I get very discouraged because my faith seems so shaky. Sometimes I have a very strong faith, but then doubts creep in and I begin to wonder if it's all just an illusion. Is this the way it's supposed to be?”
“Why didn't Jesus stay on earth longer? It seems to me that He could have done a lot more good if He'd lived a long time. After all, He could have avoided getting arrested and put to death, couldn't He?”
“Do we know what Jesus looked like when He was a baby, or what Mary and Joseph looked like when He was born? I've been looking at the Christmas cards we've been getting this year, and most of them are similar in the way they picture them (at least the religious cards).”
“I used to make a list of New Year's resolutions every year, but I'm not going to bother this year. I've never been able to keep them, so I've always ended up frustrated and feeling guilty. Why bother when they don't do any good?”
