Q: It’s discouraging to try to live the Christian life. Devotionals say we must exercise discipline. I’m not a person of discipline. I live for the moment and think about it all later.

Q: Your exploration of the question “Is God Too Big For Us?” was of much interest. I appreciate your honesty in noting that we do not have knowledge about God.

From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham

Q: I’m confused by a Bible passage that says if we keep on sinning, we aren’t really saved. I know people who keep going to church while they are living sinful lives and have no shame.

Q: I deal with depression often and am more concerned about the frequency than the depression itself. I’m not sure if it is actually depression or discouragement. Maybe it’s just disappointment, but are there examples in the Bible of people who followed God yet dealt with these struggles? – D.A. ...Read more
