“Is it wrong to pray for Jesus to come back and rescue us from all our problems? The world seems to be getting worse and worse, and I hate to think about our grandchildren having to grow up in such a terrible world.”
“My boyfriend and I have been living together for three years now but he still refuses to get married, in spite of my pleas. He’ll promise that we’ll get married in a few months, but then those months pass and he backs out. What do you think his problem is?”
“What is grace, in your view? I hear a lot about the grace of God, and amazing grace, and things like that, but I'm not sure I know exactly what it means.”
“I have a friend who claims Jesus wasn't the unique Son of God (as I've always believed), but that He was only one of many sons of God, and in reality we are all sons (and daughters) of God. Is she right? She's very sincere.”
“How many people have you saved over the many years of your ministry? I know you and your colleagues have done a lot of good, and I suspect you've saved more people during your lifetime than any other evangelist.”
“I have a friend who's very intelligent and well educated (he's a research scientist for a drug company), but a few days before Easter he told me that he really believes Jesus rose from the dead. I've always assumed the resurrection was just a myth, because nothing is more final than death. How can he believe something like this?”
“How do we know that our souls won't be trapped in our bodies when we die, instead of going to be with God? I know this may sound like a strange question but it really worries me sometimes.”
“I'm deeply in love with a woman I met last year, and we're planning to get married. The only problem is we're both already married, and our spouses don't know about our relationship. They'll probably be upset, but why shouldn't we go ahead? We are convinced God brought us together.”
“How can you trust someone who's lied to you repeatedly, and then keeps on doing it? I've lost count of the times my husband has left me for someone else, and then I'll take him back because he promises it will never happen again—but it always does. Why do I keep doing this?”
“Why don't preachers talk more about our human potential, and how we can use the good within us to create a better world and overcome our problems? I think we need more optimism today, not this constant talk about how bad we are or how hopeless everything is.”
“A friend of mine gave his life to Jesus a few months ago, and I really believe he meant it. But he's always been kind of a free spirit and says he doesn't see anything wrong with continuing to smoke pot, just like he's done for years. Is he right?”
“My ex-boyfriend talked me into getting an abortion several years ago, and I can’t get it out of my mind. I knew it was wrong, although all my friends told me to go ahead. I can’t forgive myself, and I know God won’t forgive me, either. I don’t know why I’m writing, but maybe you’ll pray for me.”
