I have a friend who claims she knows what she did in a previous life hundreds of years ago, and she does this with the help of a spiritual guide who lived then but comes to her in dreams now. This kind of talk makes me uncomfortable, but could she be right?

Do people in heaven know what happens on earth? If so, wouldn't it make them sad to see all our suffering and evil? Isn't heaven supposed to be a happy place? This puzzles me.

How should I react to a fellow worker who is always arguing with me about God and constantly makes fun of my faith in Jesus? It doesn't seem to do much good to argue back, but what can I do?

About this time of year, it seems like my mailbox is filled with appeals for money from charities and other organizations. How can I know which ones are legitimate and really need my money? I don't have a lot to give but I don't want to see it go to waste.

Have you heard about the ancient calendar that predicts the world is going to come to an end in 2012? That's kind of scary. Could it be right? I know a lot of people who are concerned about this and don't know what to think.

Does our annual Thanksgiving holiday come from the Bible?

“Does our annual Thanksgiving holiday come from the Bible? If so, did the people in Bible times celebrate it when we do today? I’ve always been curious about this.”

I was pretty wild when I was younger, but that was a long time ago and I've tried to live right since then. But how do I know if I'm good enough to get into heaven? I had a cancer scare a year ago, and for the first time it's made me think about God.

I've always tried to run my business honestly, but I have to admit I'm a very competitive person and I've always been fairly aggressive in my business dealings. Is this wrong in God's eyes? Can you follow Jesus and still get ahead in the business world?

I was very active in a cult for several years, but eventually I became very disturbed over their demands, and last year I got out. But down inside, I've always had a hunger for God, and it's still there. Where do I turn?

A friend keeps telling me that God loves me, but how do I know it's true? My parents divorced when I was 9 and I was raised (reluctantly) by my grandparents, so all my life I've felt that no one loves me. Why is God any different?

Does God ever give up on a nation, because it keeps shutting Him out of its life? I can't help but wonder if that's happening to us, with all our evil ways.

The hard economic times haven't hit me like they have most people, but I'm getting tired of churches and organizations begging me for money because they say their income is way down. After all, I've got to think of my own future in case things get worse. Am I just being selfish?
