“I've never understood why some people seem to hate God. A man I work with gets very upset whenever anyone brings up the subject of religion, even if they aren't trying to convert anyone or start an argument. Why is this?”
“What do you think about falling in love over the Internet? I’ve gotten very involved with a man through a chat room I’m on, and he says he thinks he loves me, and I think I love him. Now he wants me to come visit him (he’s in another part of the country), but my parents are saying no.”
“My husband and I feel so guilty, because last year we put his mother in a nursing home. She has Alzheimer's and it was getting very difficult for us to take care of her, but we still worry that we made the wrong decision. Is God trying to tell us to bring her back?”
“I've always been successful in life, and until recently I guess I was fairly proud of my accomplishments. But recently I gave my life to Jesus, and I know I ought to be more humble. But how can I achieve this?”
“Our pastor spoke on spiritual warfare last week, talking about the way the devil and God are at war with each other, and how we are in the middle of this spiritual battle (if I understood him correctly). I had never heard this before. Is this true?”
“Our marriage is on the rocks, and I guess I'm to blame. My husband says he can never talk with me, and that I try to boss him whenever we do talk about anything serious. It seems like no matter what I do he reacts negatively. Now he's moved in with another woman and filed for divorce. I feel like such a failure. Where did I go wrong?”
“A friend of mine was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease several years ago and is in a nursing home. Now, her husband says he's going to get a divorce because he needs to get on with his life, and since she doesn't even know him now it doesn't make any difference. What's your opinion?”
“Recently, our daughter had our first grandson, and I have found myself worrying a lot about the kind of world he will face. Do you think the world will be a better place in half a century?”
“If you could deliver just one message to the youth of our world, what would it be? It seems like they have so many problems that we never faced when we were growing up, and I wish I could help them in some way to get on the right track.”
“I have friends who say I need Jesus in order to be happy, but I'm happy the way I am. Why should I bother with God? He'd probably just make me stop some of the things I enjoy doing.”
“Is there any sin that God can’t forgive? I worry about this because I’ve led kind of a rough life, and I can’t imagine God just wiping the slate clean, so to speak, and forgiving all the bad things I’ve done.”
“Why doesn't the devil just let people alone, instead of trying to win them over to his side? Doesn't he know he's going to be defeated? It seems to me he's giving himself to a lost cause.”
