Q. Why doesn't God do everything I ask him to do?

A. Because he isn't your slave and he knows that some of your requests aren't best for you. Think of this... when you pray, you're asking the God of the Universe to meet your needs. He is not only all-powerful, but he is all-wise and all-loving. Part of prayer is saying, "God, you love me so much that I want what you want."

Q. Can people know they're Christians for sure?

A. Most definitely! God's Word makes it ultra clear. "If you use your mouth to say, 'Jesus is Lord,' and if you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9). In order to do those two things, people have to know they are doing them... and after they've done them, they know they are Christians.

Q. I've done some really bad stuff I'm not proud of. Can I ever get rid of the guilt I feel?

A. You've probably told yourself a thousand times that God can't forgive you... but start telling yourself this truth: 'that if you admit your sins to God, he forgives and cleanses you.'
(I John 1:8-9). You might have to think that thought a thousand times before you believe it, but it's true. Start Now!

Q. Does God really know everything?

A. Yep. Absolutely everything!
