“I've decided I'm going to move in with my boyfriend. I know you'll probably say it's wrong, but if we do get married I really want it to last. How can I know if it's going to work unless we try living together? Doesn't God also want my marriage to last?”
“I'm in my 70s now, and recently I've been looking back over my life and wondering what I should have done differently, and how I could have been a better person. Do you ever ask yourself this?”
“I know anger is supposed to be a sin, but why? I don't see what's wrong with being angry at someone, as long as you don't hurt them or anything like that.”
“I have a hard time believing God loves me when I know He's looking at me all the time and keeping track of all my sins. I know I ought to love God, but the truth is, I'm scared of Him.”
“All my life, my mother favored my brother over me. I don't think he even realized it, but it really hurt me. Now it's gotten worse because she's in a nursing home and calls him all the time, but she never calls me. How should I deal with this?”
“I know everyone says we ought to vote in the elections that are coming up in a few months, but I'm tired of all the political conflict and I don't see any point in voting. After all, the Bible doesn't tell us we have to vote, does it?”
“I know I ought to read my Bible, but I've never been much of a reader, and anyway, I just find the Bible confusing whenever I do try to read it. Am I wrong to feel this way?”
“I knew being divorced and becoming a single mom would be hard, but what I didn't expect was the anger I feel and the desire to strike back. My ex-husband was unfaithful behind my back, then just abandoned us when I discovered what was going on. I am a Christian and I know I shouldn't feel this way, but I just can't help it. What should I do?”
“Why do churches keep asking for money all the time? Frankly, it turns me off and I think it does the same to lots of others. If people want to give that's fine, but I don't think they ought to be talked into giving money.”
“I don’t understand what Jesus’ suffering on the cross has to do with our salvation. After all, lots of people have suffered just as much as He did, or even a lot worse.”
“I'm going to college in a few weeks, and I'm worried that I'll lose my faith there. I've always been active in my church, but I hear it's hard to stay a Christian in college. What advice do you have?”
“What do you think Jesus must have been like when He was a boy? Did He know then that He was going to be the Messiah? Or was He just like any other boy?”
