Synopsis

I have had questions about God and the Christian faith from the time of my conversion, and for years, I feared that such questions meant there was something wrong with my faith.

Then I discovered God’s invitation in Isaiah 1: “Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD” (v. 18). “Reason together” in the Hebrew means “argue it out.”

I found Thomas, whose honest questions about the resurrection were welcomed and answered by his risen Lord (John 20:24–29).

Most of all, I was encouraged by Jesus’ own example when he cried from the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46). If our sinless Savior could ask questions of his Father, surely we can.

This small book is the second in a series on tough faith questions. In this volume we ask these ten questions:

1. Why do we believe that the Bible is actually the Word of God?
2. What are angels? Will I become one?
3. Is there really a creature named Satan?
4. Are there really demons?
5. Are we living in the "end times"? How do we know?
6. What are your spiritual gifts? Are they the same as talents?
7. How can I share my faith with others? Why should I?
8. Can I really overcome temptation and sin?
9. If God knows everything, why should I pray?
10. Why does God want to be worshipped? How can I worship him best?

Biblical scholar William Barclay noted, “If a man fights his way through his doubts to the conviction that Jesus Christ is Lord, he has attained to a certainty that the man who unthinkingly accepts things can never reach.”

May this book help you find such certainty that you are empowered to share your faith with a doubting world, to the glory of God.
