  1. Why does the church celebrate Christmas and Easter?
  2. Is it okay for Christians to watch fantasy entertainment programs that often place witches, ghosts, monsters, etc. in a fun light along the lines of shows like “Bewitched”, “Casper the Friendly Ghost”, and the “Adams Family”? Similarly, can Christians decorate their homes for Halloween with cartoonish ghost, witch, Dracula, and monster decor that portrays them in a lighthearted manner?
  3. Why do so many preachers refuse to preach “hellfire and brimstone” sermons on the severity of God and the certainty of hell, which is an inseparable part of declaring the whole counsel of God?
  4. Did God approve of Rahab’s lie?
  5. What should be our attitude toward work? Is the work you do simply a means of earning a living or should it have purpose and meaning? Many do not find fulfillment in their work.
