“What does the Bible mean when it says that the devil believes in God? Isn't that what we're supposed to do before we can go to heaven? But the devil's not going to heaven, is he?”
“I guess we've let our TV turn into a baby-sitter, to keep our children quiet. They fight so much that it's just easier to let them keep watching it. Do you think this is wrong?”
“I heard a preacher say the other day that Christians need to respond to the AIDS crisis by helping people with AIDS (especially in places like Africa). But why should we? Doesn't the Bible say that if people sin they have to pay a price?”
“I've been married three times, and I'm thinking about doing it again with my current boyfriend, who moved in with me recently so we can see if it'll work out. Does this mean God won't have anything to do with me? I admit I've ignored Him, but I know I need to get right with Him before I die.”
“I always try to pray and read my Bible before I go to bed, but half the time I fall asleep before I finish. Should I just not bother, since I'm not getting anything out of it anyway?”
“Our new pastor is a very good preacher but he's kind of shy and not at all outgoing, and I think a preacher ought to be, don't you? Should I say something to him about it? Others feel the same way.”
“How should we respond to criticism? I admit I get angry and respond in ways I probably shouldn’t when people criticize me, but I don’t know how to react any other way.”
“Do you believe everything that happens to us was meant to happen, and that it happens for some higher purpose?”
“I respect you, but I believe it's wrong to say God will send some people to heaven and some to hell. I believe in God's love, and I think some day every person will share in the joy of heaven.”
“After my grandfather died, my aunt said it gave her great comfort to know he was now watching over us from heaven. What do you think she meant by this? Did she mean we become angels when we die so we can watch over our loved ones down here on earth?”
“My wife walked out after 32 years because she said she wanted to have fun and I didn't make enough money. She's remarried now (a widower with lots of money) and I feel like such a failure. I know you'll say God can help me, but how?”
“Why do you say that all we have to do to have eternal life is to believe in Jesus? That sounds far too simple to me. Surely God expects us to live good lives before He'll let us into heaven, doesn't He?”
