Case 24
I am not OK; I feel lonely. I would like to give my life to Christ, but I don’t know how. I would like to know what religion I should choose. Please, help me. Dear Friend, What a good question! It is a question that has been asked for centuries. One day, at lunch time, Jesus was at a well outside Samaria, a region on the West Bank of the Jordan River. He and his [...]
Case 23
I suffer from rage, and I brutally beat my three-year-old son. I am sorry; but when I am angry, I can't control myself. Help me! I don't know what to do. I always promise myself that I won't do it again, but then I fall back into the same pattern. Dear Friend, King Solomon, one of the wisest men who ever lived, said, "A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man [...]
Case 22
I have received a proposal to invest a minimum of a thousand dollars in order to earn ten percent a month without doing anything else. I would have to deposit my money in a Swiss account, and they say they would invest the funds in foreign currencies and then deposit the interest in an account in my country each month. I don’t know if this is right for me in the eyes of God... Dear [...]
Case 21
I am forty‑five years old and I feel that my life is sifting through my hands. Perhaps this is not the type of case that you expect me to tell you; I only know that I need to fill this vacuum that I have inside. I don’t have any desire to go on living. Death seems like a viable option to me. I ask God to have mercy on me, to come into my heart, [...]
Case 20
I am an only child. My father died seven years ago, and I currently live with my mother, my husband, and my two grown children. The problem that I have is that since the time I got married twenty‑two years ago, my mother has never liked my husband and she has always wanted to control everything I do and everything my children do. It is not possible to do anything in our home if she [...]
Case 19
Hello! Thank you for accepting my case. I need help in how to discipline my son who is seventeen years old. He is loving when he wants to be, but most of the time he is very rebellious. He doesn’t do what I ask or tell him to do. When I don’t go along with what He wants, he breaks things and uses bad language. But within ten minutes or so, he has already forgotten [...]
Caso 18
My life had always been peaceful, as I dedicated myself to my work and to my studies. Nevertheless, in 2001 a colleague invited me to visit a casino with him. Since I had never been in a casino with slot machines before..., he suggested that I just put a coin into a slot, so I did, and by the second coin I won the grand prize.... That was enough to get me hooked on gambling. [...]
Case 17
It happened at the coffee shop, where I work. One day I was there alone when two teenagers came in. When they left, one of them got distracted and forgot to take his wallet with him. I saw the wallet, grabbed it quickly, and put it under a table, acting as if nothing had happened. I had thought that there would be very little money in it, but was surprised to find a lot of [...]
Case 16
Day after day, I suffer in silence with the agony of a forbidden love. I don’t know what to do. My love is real, and I have never felt a love so intense as what I feel for him. But I know that there is a great woman who doesn’t deserve to be hurt. I have tried to put an end to this love, but I can’t. I need help. I love him, but I [...]
