What should I do if I suspect my teenager might be gay? Our son has always been “different” from his peers, and for as long as his mother and I can remember he’s shown no interest in engaging with members of his own sex – either younger or older. He definitely feels more comfortable spending …

What does genuine biblical “leadership” look like? “Leadership” in general is an idea that seems to be getting a lot of promotion these days. Whether I’m at church, in a bookstore, or at work, it seems the assertion that “everybody needs to be a leader” is always being pushed. I’m not sure if this is …
Why should I accept Christianity as the “one true religion?” I’m put off by the intolerance of most Christians. I might become a believer myself if you people weren’t so narrow-minded. Can’t you see that there are many different pathways to spirituality – like Hinduism, Buddhism, and Wicca – and that no path is better …
Am I saved by faith or good works? As a new Christian, I was relieved to hear that salvation doesn’t depend on works, but solely on God’s gift of grace. But then someone told me that “faith without works is dead” and that God cares as much about my actions as He does about my …

How can I regain my childhood faith? I was brought up as a Christian but stopped believing in God a few years ago. More recently, I’ve been feeling as if something is drawing me back to the faith of my childhood. My fear is that this is purely a matter of sentiment and emotion and …
Does God view me as “inherently evil?” I recently heard a pastor use this phrase in a sermon on the doctrine of “total depravity.” It’s been bothering me ever since. In the first place, I think it’s unbiblical. Scripture says that God made mankind in His own image, and that everything He made was inherently …
I heard that Focus on the Family doesn’t recommend gender-neutral Bible translations. What translations does Focus recommend?
How can I get a kid at my school to stop picking on me? He’s constantly harassing me and making my life miserable. Can you tell me what to do about this?
What’s so bad about “Dungeons and Dragons?” My friends and I really enjoy it. We’ve been at it for about a year and a half now. By this time our characters and storyline have become pretty involved and complex. My parents aren’t happy about this. They complain that the game is taking up too much …
