“Do you think we're possibly living in the last days, and that Jesus is going to return to earth very soon? Frankly, I don't see any other solution to all the problems we have in the world, do you?”
“I grew up in a large family, and they always looked on me as their black sheep—always getting in trouble, never doing well in school, etc. They sort of wrote me off, I guess, and I admit they were probably right. My question is this: Has God written me off also? I'm in my 60s, and I know time is running out.”
“Last week, I walked away from a bad car accident without a scratch, and the police said I was very lucky because I could have been killed. Did an angel watch over me or something? I'm not very religious, but this does make me wonder.”
“I'll graduate from college at the end of the summer, and I don't have a clue what I'm going to do. Does God care about things like this?”
“Will God reward me if I give more money to my church or other religious ministries? That’s what I’ve heard some preachers say, and I wonder if it’s true. We sure could use some extra money.”
“My family and I have had a couple of bad experiences in the last two churches we attended (mainly because of controversies that eventually split both of them). We're very disillusioned and have just about given up on finding a new church. I thought Christians were supposed to get along with each other.”
“Just a few months before we were to get married, my fiancee called it off and said she'd decided we weren't right for each other. I'm devastated, and finding out she's now engaged to someone else sure hasn't helped any. Why did God do this to me? I really thought He had brought us together.”
“Does God only hear us when we pray out loud or does He hear silent prayers also? Please forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I didn't grow up in a religious home and have just become a Christian.”
“Some people came to our door the other day to talk about their religion, and we found it very interesting. They say the Christian church has hidden the full truth about God, and now God has chosen them to reveal it to the world. Could they be right?”
“I'm retiring in a few months after 38 years on the same job. All my life I've looked forward to the day when I wouldn't have to work any more but now I'm dreading it. Suddenly, I realize I'm going to be bored out of my mind. What can I do?”
“I teach the kindergarten children in our church, and they are always asking questions I can't answer. The other day they asked me where God came from. I said that He's always existed, but I could tell it only confused them. What would you have said?”
“I've heard that the Bible says Jesus is going to come back to earth some day. Is that true? That kind of scares me because I know I'm probably not ready. Do you think He'll come soon? I hope not.”
