How can some people be good Christians for a while, but then they turn their backs on it and wander into all sorts of bad things? This has happened to a cousin of mine, and I wish I knew what to do about it because he's really headed in the wrong direction.

I prayed and prayed that God would take away my husband's cancer, and I was convinced He would. But last month he finally died after much suffering, and I have to admit it's shaken my faith. Why didn't God answer me?

I know anger is a sin, but I can't seem to help it. I'm not like this most of the time, but when things don't go right I can't help but be angry about it. Do I just learn to live with this, or what?

I'm really getting scared (although I try to not show it), because I graduate from high school in a few months and I don't have any idea what I'm going to do next. My parents are pushing college on me but I can't get excited about it. What should I do?

For years we've had a little sign on our kitchen wall that says, "Prayer Changes Things." But we've been going through some hard times lately, and frankly I'm beginning to wonder if prayer does make any difference. Does it?

This couple keeps coming to our house and inviting us to come to their assembly hall to study the Bible. I'd like to know something about the Bible, but a friend of mine says this group is a cult. What exactly is a cult? They seem like nice people.

My parents always told me when I was growing up not to believe everything I read, and I don't. So why should I believe what some preacher says, or even what the Bible says? Maybe it's all just a myth.

How will we know the Antichrist when he comes? A friend of mine keeps forwarding e-mails to me from a group that claims a certain foreign political leader is the Antichrist, but how do they know?

How can I control my thoughts and get rid of all the junk that passes through my mind? I know God must be appalled at some of the things I think about, but I can't seem to get rid of them.

What do you think Jesus looked like? I know we don't really know for sure, but some of the paintings I've seen make Him look meek and kind of like a sissy, and I don't think that's accurate, do you?

Does it do any good to encourage children to believe in Jesus and give their lives to Him? My brother (who's 38 now) supposedly gave his life to Jesus when he was 10 but he hasn't had anything to do with God since college.

I've always said I'm an atheist, and I am. But down inside, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm on the wrong road (although I'd never admit it to anyone). What would you say to someone like me? Don't just tell me to have faith, because I don't have any.
