“Where are the Ten Commandments found? I didn't grow up in church, so I don't know what they are, or if I ought to be following them. My friends all say they are out of date, but I'd like to make up my own mind about that.”
“I’ve gotten in over my head financially because of gambling. I always thought I’d be lucky some day and win it all back, but now I’m almost broke. I’m afraid my wife will leave me if she finds out. Please pray for me, that somehow I’ll get out of this mess. I feel so guilty.”
“Last year, a friend talked me into getting involved in a business deal that wasn’t exactly legal. The deal hasn’t worked out, and now I’m afraid we’re going to get caught. Will God get me out of this if I sincerely promise to do what’s right in the future?”
“My mother and I never spoke to each other the last 10 years of her life. I won’t go into the reasons, although I still feel she was mainly to blame. She died a few months ago, and now I feel very guilty over all of this. How can I get over these feelings?”
“Is cheating in class really wrong? I'm in high school, and it seems like almost everyone does it. If I don't cheat I'll only end up cheating myself out of a better grade, won't I?”
“Why do some people seem to be almost like a different person when they get behind the steering wheel? My cousin is a fine and thoughtful Christian, but when he gets behind the wheel he almost turns into a monster. It scares me.”
“I feel so guilty because a friend of mine died from a drug overdose a few weeks ago and I know he might still be alive if I'd done more to help him. I did try, but I guess I should have done more. Will God ever forgive me?”
“I've always been fascinated by angels because I believe they are real and will help us if we pray hard enough. Could you give me some Bible verses that tell about angels and how they'll help us if we ask them?”
“One of my co-workers claims to be a Christian, and he’s very active in his church and all that. But he doesn’t seem to be a very happy person, and in fact, he’s always very negative and looking on the dark side of things. Do you suppose he’s really a Christian, or is he just pretending?”
“What is your definition of a lie? Personally I don't think it's wrong to shade the truth a little bit when it isn't going to make any difference, as long as it doesn't do any harm, but I suppose you wouldn't agree.”
“I know you constantly tell people to believe the Bible, but why should I believe something just because it's in the Bible? You'll probably say I ought to believe it because it's God's Word, but I'm not sure I believe that.”
“One of my relatives got very upset at me when I told him the other day that I didn’t vote in the last election because I thought it was a waste of time. I admit I’m cynical about politics and politicians, but he said I have a God-given responsibility to vote. Is he right?”
