Question: I’ve done something that I thought would come later in life. I’m three months pregnant now, and later I’ll have to stop school for a few months.
I don’t know what to think. I’ve considered getting an abortion, but I just can’t do it. I made it, so I’m going to have to raise it.
The Lord gave this to me for a reason, but I just don’t know why. Can you give me any Bible passages that can help with this little situation?
Question: I hear all kinds of things about Christians being judgmental and close-minded. How should we balance loving the sinner and hating the sin? I don’t want to seem like I accept things that I know are wrong, but I don’t want people to think that I don’t love them, either.
Question: I’ve grown up in an Adventist home, but I don’t really love Jesus, even though I want to go to heaven. And when I do something wrong, I’m not usually sorry I did it. What can I do?
Question: Which religion/denomination is the true one?
Question: Does hell exist? The parable of the rich man and Lazarus shows that it does.
Question: What topics should I bring up when I’m talking to unbelievers about God?
Question: If God gives us free choice, why will He destroy people who don’t choose Him?
Question: How can I be sure that I’m saved, even if I don’t feel like I’m saved?
Question: My friend has gone to church only a couple of times, because when he went, the people there told him he wasn’t welcome. Then his parents told him he wasn’t good enough for church. He really feels hurt. My question is “should he go back to church?”
Question: My parents and I were listening to a Christian radio station in the car the other day, and the speaker was talking about the “biblical truth” of hell. If it’s “biblical truth,” why don’t we believe in it?
Question: Does the Bible have anything to say about piercings, tattoos, and jewelry?
Question: I love going to church and learning about God. I’m a Seventh-day Adventist by birth, but I’m afraid I don’t know how to have a relationship with God. Every time I try to have one, it never seems to work out right–I seem to slip back into sin. I know God is coming soon, and I really want to go to heaven, but I don’t know how to have a relationship with Him. Please help me!
Question: How do I forgive someone that’s really hurt me? Do I have to forgive them in order for God to forgive me?
Question: I don't feel welcome at my church. The people are stuck up, and I don't like stuck-up people. I know that I should talk to my pastor about this, but I don't know what to say.
Question: I told my friend that when a person dies, it’s like they’re asleep until Jesus returns and resurrects them. But she says that when people die, they go to a kingdom and wait there until the Lord comes. How do I tell her that when people die, they don’t really go anywhere?
Question: My friends are always pressuring me to do things with them that I know are wrong, like drinking alcohol. I go along with them because they help me out a lot financially, so I feel as if I shouldn’t just “diss” them. But what should I do?
Question: In some Bible verses it says that all you have to do is believe, and you’re saved. But in other verses it says that there are all these things you have to do. Which is it?
Question: How do you balance legalism and grace?
Question: I’m bored at church. I know you’re going to say I should keep going, but why?

Question: My cat died recently, and I want to know if she’ll be in heaven. I’ve heard “No, she won’t be there,” and I’ve heard “Yes, she will be there.” I’m confused. Do you know the answer?
Question: Should I go to a Seventh-day Adventist school even if their academic program isn’t good?
Question: I’m a college student who’s so preoccupied with my studies that I don’t have time to witness to a friend, conduct a Bible study, or help the needy—unless I do it on Sabbath. What’s the best way to organize myself so I can do these things for God?
Question: Is it OK to pray for a person to like you?
Question: When I pray, sometimes I find that my mind isn't totally focused on God or holy things. For example, my mind may wander off and replay a song that I just listened to, or I may think about something I need to do after I finish praying. Am I doing something wrong? Is my prayer not acceptable to God?
Question: Does the bible say anything about whether or not masturbation is wrong?
Question: I’ve enlisted in the military, and I’m about to go to boot camp. Someday I might end up on the front lines and have to kill somebody. I know the Ten Commandments say, "Thou shalt not kill" (Exodus 20:13, KJV). But the Bible also has stories about battles where lots of people were killed. Will God look down on me if I have to kill someone?
Question: Is anger a sin?
Question: Is it because we defy God’s Word that so many wicked things are happening?
Question: Since Jesus was a Jew, why are His followers called Christians and not Jews?
Question: What does it mean to be “blessed”?
Question: Can you give me some biblical advice on how to make good decisions? It seems like I’m really good at making bad decisions, and I don’t want to make any more bad decisions.
Question: If Jesus taught His disciples to pray “Our Father, which art in heaven,” why do we usually pray, “Dear Jesus”? Is it okay to pray to Jesus, or should we pray to God the Father? Or does it matter, since they are all God?
Question: How can God be three in one?
Question: The Bible says in some places that God is a “jealous” God. Does that mean that jealously is okay or that God sins?
Question: Did God simply throw Satan out of heaven, or did He throw Satan to earth? If God threw Satan to earth, why?
Question: How did sin originate in Lucifer?
Question: Do you think Hurricane Katrina could have been God’s judgment on New Orleans, like the fire on Sodom and Gomorrah?
Question: Why doesn’t God do something about all the suffering and pain around us?
Question: How many people can heaven hold?
Question: Was Jesus totally human or totally divine?
Question: Can you prove that Jesus is God’s Son?
Question: Can you prove that Jesus is God’s Son?
Answer: Can I do it to your satisfaction? Let’s see.
This is far more than a passing question. On it hinges your life’s purpose, its direction, its destiny. Believing that Jesus is God’s Son requires a certain amount of faith, which can be informed with evidence.

Nate Bozarth wears his faith in his sleeve. And on his back. And across his chest. With his collection of 10 T-shirts with Christian messages on them, 15-year-old Nate could wear a different T-shirt to school every day for two weeks. And most days he does wear one.
This story happened last year, when there was snow on the ground and the roads were slippery. My parents own their own store, and ever since I got my driver’s license, they have sent me on errands so they can stay and watch the store.
There were jocks, nerds, geeks, stoners, and bookworms. I could probably fill a page with the names we called various kids when I went to school—and that was 25 years ago! As crazy as it sounds to me today, we labeled other people based on what they looked like,
