Why...Because

Angels

Christian, tell me why do you believe that angels exist? How are they relevant to our lives today?

So Much More

Before and After

Christian, tell me why is the Bible divided into an “Old” vs. a “New” testament? What is the difference between the two?

Self-Righteousness

Doxology

Christian, tell me why do you sing something called a “Doxology”? What is that?

Religion vs. Relationship

Fear Not

Christian, tell me why does the Bible say we shouldn’t be afraid? The world is full of scary things!

Rock of Ages

Christian, tell me why do you refer to God as a rock? You sing songs like “Rock of Ages” and “On Christ, the Solid Rock”. What do you mean by those?

Watch Your Words!

Just Passing Through

Christian, tell me why doesn’t life get you down as much as it does other people? How do you face problems without being crushed by them?

Jesus: God AND Man

Christian, tell me why do you say that Jesus is both God and Man? Which is it? Why does it matter?

Christian, tell me why do you say both that we are separated from God but also that He wants a relationship with us? You contradict yourself!

Christian, tell me why do you try to make laws that force everyone else to live the way that you think they should? Haven’t you heard of separation of church and state?

Foundations

Christian, tell me why do you consider “being a Christian” to be the most significant thing about you? Don’t you care about who you are as a person?

Simply Obey

Christian, tell me why should I do as God says? What if He asks me to do something weird?

Love Your Enemies

Christian, tell me why didn’t Jesus hate the people who rejected and crucified him? If he is God, he should have just hurled lightning bolts and destroyed them!

Jesus’ Enemies

Christian, tell me why did people want to kill Jesus? He was a peaceful man who taught others to be loving and kind. What was wrong with that?

In Christ

Christian, tell me why do you say that you are “in Christ”? What does that mean?

God’s Spirit, in Me

Christian, tell me why do you say that you have God’s Spirit “in” you? What does that mean? Is it anything like demon possession? I sure wouldn’t want that!

Entering God’s Rest

Apostles

Christian, tell me why are some Bible folks called “Apostles”? What does that mean?

Cleaning All The Corners
