People ask me questions every day. Some of them are easy to answer, and some of them aren’t. Here are a few.

What does it mean to trust someone? What if I grew up without ever learning to trust? What if people I trust are always lying to me and making false promises and threats? What if I grew up not knowing what truth is? How can I trust God? How can I learn obedience? How can I trust that what God says is really going to happen? Is there really a resurrection? Did Jesus really live on this earth?

Is each person able to decide what they think is truth, or are their really absolute truths? What about the Sabbath? Is that an absolute truth, or is it just something I can observe when I don’t have other important things to do? What is the difference between a command from God and a command from people? When I disobey a teacher or a parent, I get sent out of class or I get a beating. If I disobey God, I don’t see immediate consequences. Is what God says really important? Who is He anyway? Does He control all that I do and think? Why is He not like our traditional gods?

How about all the different churches? If I find a church that lets me do what I want, am I still a Christian? What if the pastor teaches things that aren’t in the Bible? If I follow wrong teachings, does the blame fall on him or me?

If someone older than me tells me to do something wrong, am I responsible? I can’t refuse to do what someone older tells me, can I? What does it really mean to obey God rather than men? What about when God doesn’t do what I think He should? Why doesn’t He heal me? What can I bring to God to make Him do what I want Him to?

We hear these and many others questions every day. Pray that we will have wisdom and that people will have open hearts.
