“I moved to a different part of the country last year, thinking it would make me forget my problems and bring me happiness, but it hasn't. Is God the answer? I've never thought about God much, but I need something.”
“Last week, the finest Christian I ever knew died after a long battle with cancer, but her sister (who doesn't have any faith) is as healthy as can be. How do you explain this? It has really shaken my faith.”
“Why do some people refuse to give in to God, no matter how hard things get for them? You'd think they'd realize they need God and turn to Him, but they don't. I have a cousin like this, and no matter what happens to him he simply won't admit he needs God. It doesn't make sense.”
“People keep urging me to vote but I think it's just a waste of time. I care what happens to our country and all that, but I don't think one vote makes any difference. And anyway, Jesus never said anything about voting, did He?”
“I'm in prison for some things I'd rather not talk about, and last week I got to know a murderer here who said God had forgiven him for what he'd done. How does he know? After all, killing someone must be a very big sin in God's eyes.”
“I used to be a Christian, but I grew very tired of all the bickering in the church I was attending and I don't have any faith now. What would you say to someone like me? I'd like to believe in God but right now I don't.”
“How could John the Baptist have written the Gospel of John, when that same Gospel tells about his death? Maybe I shouldn't get bogged down with questions like this when I try to read my Bible, but I can't help it.”
“I've never understood why Jesus, when He was on the cross, cried out and asked God why He had forsaken Him. If God turned His back on Jesus when He was dying, could He turn His back on us when the time comes for our death? This really worries me.”
“My neighbor says she's given her life to Jesus and has been saved, but I don't understand what she thinks she's been saved from. I thought she had a pretty good life before she got religion, but I guess she decided she needed something else.”
“I hate to admit this, but many years ago I hurt a friend's job prospects because I told a lie about him. I feel very guilty and wish I could apologize, but he's dead now and it's too late. Please tell people not to delay making things right if they need to, even if it's hard.”
“I must be the most disorganized person on earth. I start the day with all sorts of plans, then get sidetracked, and by the end of the day haven't gotten anything done. I don't think God wants us to be like this, does He?”
“I know the Bible says God can bring good out of evil but it sure hasn't happened to me. I won't go into the details, but I've been going through some very hard times recently, and sometimes I think God must have turned His back on me.”
