Q: Is discouragement a sin? If so, I’m consumed! I was full of life 25 years ago. I made a lot of mistakes, but I was at least invigorated with life. Now, my work and relationships are in the tank, and I’ve gone from positive thinking to dread; it has affected my mood and my faith. – C.D.

Q: My wife and I are contemplating divorce. While there’s some element of love, we aren’t really happy anymore in the relationship.

Q: I’ve heard it said that we miss many of God’s blessings simply because we aren’t looking for them, or we lack faith that He truly is with us in troubled times and is the friend who never leaves us. Is it true that this happens because we distance ourselves from God? – G.B.

A: For those who ...Read more

From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham

Q: When I worked for a corporation, it withheld my taxes. It always made me angry. I felt I should be given the right to oversee my income.

From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham

Q: Is there a difference between being sorry for our sins and repenting of our sins? What I hear is that we are to be sorry for our sin and try not to do it again. Yet there are so many who live immoral lives but say they love Jesus. Repentance seems a much different thing. – R.S.

A: Jesus is the only man who ever lived who was sinless. He could stand in front of men and ask, “Which of you convicts Me of sin?” (John 8:46, NKJV). He ...Read more

From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham

Q: If the first people – Adam and Eve – were created perfect, why did they bring to this world what is called “the great fall”? They had to be untamed to end up sowing such evil as taught “in the beginning.” Why would God create such creatures that produced a son like Cain, who killed his ...Read more

From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham

Q: I recently saw a book titled “What’s Wrong with the World?” The author puts forth the answer: Sin is responsible for the state of the world. It seems that the real answer with what’s wrong with the world is evil. If we could find a way to obliterate evil, we wouldn’t be concerned ...Read more

Q: It seems to me that Easter is greatly overshadowed by Christmas and that people are not as prone to celebrate Jesus at Easter as they are at Christmas.

Q: I’m witnessing my friend who is dying from alcohol poisoning. He said that if I could assure him that he would be cured of this death sentence, he would get saved. Is it true that a person who repents of sin and is saved by God may still reap the consequences of their past life? – P.S.

A: God ...Read more
