“I hope you won't take this in the wrong way, but to be honest, heaven sounds kind of dull to me. I mean, if all we're going to do is sit around on a cloud strumming harps, well, I'll be bored before the end of my first day there. Am I misunderstanding something?”
“Maybe this is kind of a weird question, but if there is intelligent life on other planets (as some scientists think), should we try to send missionaries someday to tell them about Jesus?”
“My sister and I always had kind of a rocky relationship, but now she’s gone and I feel terrible because I didn’t visit her or try to patch things up, although I knew she was dying. I wish I could tell her how I feel, but it’s too late now. Will God forgive me, even if she can’t?”
“I'd like to become a follower of Jesus (like some of my friends), but I'm afraid I'd just end up being a failure because I know how weak I am. Nobody likes a hypocrite, but I'm afraid I'd end up being one. Can you understand my fear?”
“Did people in the Old Testament believe in life after death and in heaven? I heard someone say once that they didn't, but I wonder if that's true.”
“How do I know if it's God who's speaking to me and telling me to do something, or if I've just imagined it or it's just something I want to do? I want to make right decisions, but sometimes I don't choose the right way.”
“My friend wants me to start going to her church, but how can I know if it's a good church? I know I need to get stronger in my faith, but I don't want to get sucked into a cult.”
“My family doesn't believe in God and is very opposed to religion. Well, last month I met some Christians at my school and I ended up giving my life to Jesus. I'm afraid to tell my parents because I know they'll be upset. What should I do?”
“I have a real problem telling little lies, even when it would be better to tell the truth. Why do I do this? I've tried to stop, but then I catch myself doing it again. God must get very upset at me because I know this is wrong.”
“How can two people from the same family be so different? My sister never worries about anything, while I'm the proverbial worrywart. I wish I could stop being like this, but I can't.”
“My husband and I got along fine for the first few years of our marriage, but now we argue all the time. Mostly it's about money, because there never seems to be enough. I hate what's happening to us, but I don't know the answer. Can our marriage be saved?”
“My wife is upset at me because she found out I cheated a bit on our taxes this year. (I had some cash income that I “forgot” to declare.) I say it isn't a big deal because everybody does it, but she says it's still wrong in God's eyes. Is she right?”
