(Ver 1.1) Too many Christians like to ignore the hard stuff.  Stuff that is just too tough to think about or to attempt to explain.  I have found that God is not intimidated by the difficult questions.  In fact He has given us a huge book full of information that contains ALL of the answers that we are seeking.  Everyone is seeking to know who they are, why they are here, what purpose does their lives serve in being here.  These are in fact the basis for all other questions that we can probably think of.  Because people don’t know who they are and why they are here, they spend a lot of time searching for their answer in the wrong places, with the wrong people at the wrong time.  It is an amazing extended effort in frustration.

So what are some of the Hard Questions of Life that we should be trying to find out the answers to in the Bible?  Here is my top 10 list:

1. Who Am I?
2. Why Am I here?
3. Is There a God?
4. Who is God?
5. Why is there so much Evil in the World?
6. Why doesn’t God do anything to Stop Evil from happening?
7. Is God causing the Tornados, Hurricanes, Earthquakes?
8. Is there a Devil?
9. Is there a Heaven and a Hell?
10. Is there anything after Death?

These are just some of the most important questions that I can think of to find the answers to.  Maybe you can come up with some more good questions to ask God.  If you can please give them to me in a comment.  I can think of some related questions that I didn’t really include in my list, like “Did God take my Child in that car wreck?” or “Did God take my mother with cancer?”  There are really a lot of personal questions that we are all faced with from our life’s past that we do not understand.

Unfortunately, we all want easy simple answers to every question, not realizing that there are many factors that are uniquely individual to everyone.  You see many people may experience the same thing, but how they got there could be completely different than somebody else.  So God’s answer to me for a question might be a little different for His answer to you for the exact same question.  People like to look at the external and God is primarily focused on the internal aspect of your heart.  Life is a completely complex system of interrelated dependencies.   Everyone’s life is similar, but yet uniquely different.

So how do you find these answers to the Hard Questions of Life?  I have to admit that finding things in the Bible can be work.  If you want an easy answer to your problem, I would suggest that you go try a religion that offers a simple inoffensive message of enlightenment and hope.  If you want the truth I would say you are not here reading this blog by chance or accident.   I do not have all of the answers to every complex question, I just know the one that has all of these answers.  You can know Him also, He will speak to you and help you to find the answers that you are seeking.  God is actually for you and wants you to be successful in this life.  God desires a relationship with you, for you to know Him and for Him to know you.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog.  If you want or need help with a difficult question, I will do my best to try to point you to answers in God’s Word.    Just please understand that every answer is not simple and many times God’s answers are completely different than what you want to hear, but yet they are always intended to help you see something that you need to change inside of you.  God Bless You!
