#641- 9/4/2016

1. I work with someone who doesn’t really believe in God.  His wife’s sister was murdered a while ago, and he says, ‘If God has all the power in the world, why do bad things happen?’  How do I respond to him to make him see that such is not God’s doing but as a result of sin?
2. It is very common in our society to have someone come up to you in a parking lot while shopping and wanting money.  If someone is really trying and needs help, it is great to help that person.  However, I can think of better uses for my money than providing for alcohol or other illicit uses.  Am I wrong for thinking this way?
3. I have noticed that some of the younger generation of the church sees nothing wrong with tattoos and body piercing, in particular facial piercings such as nose rings and etc. Can a Christian truly be set apart if they participate and condone in such actions.  How can we influence the world for the good, if we are trying so hard to be like it?

5. Can a relationship with someone else become a God?
