“Do you really think it’s possible for people to change? For example, some people just seem to be naturally selfish, and no matter what you try to teach them, they’ll never really change. Maybe they’ll change in small ways, but not their basic personalities.”
“Belief in Christ is the only solid foundation for life”
“I accidently sat next to someone on a bus recently who talked with me about God, and I ended up asking Jesus to come into my life. I wasn’t brought up in a religious home, so this is all new to me. What do I do now? ”
“I’ve had good health all my life (I’m 78 now), but now the doctor says I have something that’s going to make me weaker and weaker, and eventually it will kill me. I just can’t face being weak and having to depend on others to take care of me. I admit I’m angry with God, but why shouldn’t I be?”
“Whenever I ask God to forgive me, I try my best to think of everything I’ve done wrong so I can confess it. But what about the things I don’t remember? Will God forgive them also?”
“I know I shouldn’t be this way, but whenever I get around my friends I begin swearing like they do and in general acting as if Jesus weren’t important to me — although He is. I wish I had more backbone. How can I stop acting like this? ”
“Why should I follow the Ten Commandments? Maybe they were useful thousands of years ago, but we live in a different world now, and we need to come up with our own rules for living. ”
“Have you ever had someone say to you that Christians are so heavenly minded that they aren’t any earthly good? That’s what my brother says whenever I try to talk to him about Jesus.”
“I admit I haven’t been a very good husband, and finally my wife walked out on me a few months ago. It really shook me, and now I’m sure I’ll be different. But how can I get my wife to take me back? She doesn’t believe me when I say I’ve changed.”
“My nephew says he’s an atheist and doesn’t want anything to do with religion or religious people. If someone wants to be religious, that’s their business, he says, but he resents people trying to change him. How can I convince him he’s wrong?”
“Aren’t Christians supposed to be kind and loving? Then why do they have such a hard time getting along with each other? Our church has been going through a conflict over some things that probably aren’t important, and I’m not sure we’ll ever get over it. ”
“Maybe God will forgive me for some of the things I’ve done, but I’ll never be able to forgive myself. I’ve done so many bad things and hurt so many people along the way that I’ll always feel guilty. I wish I could live my life over again, but I can’t. Is there any hope for me?”
