Summary: One of the things that seems to be conspicuously absent from the writings of the Apostle Paul is the "why me" syndrome that many of us seem to fall into so easily.
Verse: "But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear."
—Philippians 1:12-14

—Romans 12:1

Summary: When disagreements become inevitable, try to keep your argument as private as possible. In the long run, it might just save you from an embarrassing reputation that could take a lifetime to shake.
Verse: "Do not go hastily to court; for what will you do in the end, when your neighbor has put you to shame? Debate your case with your neighbor himself, and do not disclose the secret to another; lest he who hears it expose your shame, and your reputation be ruined."
—Proverbs 25:8-10

Summary: Is the idea of eternal life far-fetched? According to the Bible, disease and death were something we caused when we separated ourselves from God. We severed our connection to the source of all life, and not only were our minds and hearts affected by that rebellion, but our bodies were, too. To put it bluntly, once we cut off the power supply, we started to die.
Verse: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them everlasting life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand."

Summary: Who you are and what you do is formed by the information in your brain. The way you behave is the cumulative total of all your experiences and how you’ve learned to cope with life—and that’s why the information you let into your mind is so critical!
Verse: "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
—Romans 12:1-2

Summary: If nobody ever consumed another drop of liquor, what harm would it do to our society? If you never touched another drop, what would you have to lose?
Verse: "Wine is a mocker, intoxicating drink arouses brawling, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise."
—Proverbs 20:1

Summary: At some point, we all ask ourselves questions like "Why am I here? What purpose does my existence serve? Is there really any meaning to my life?" How do creation and evolution each address these questions?
Verse: "For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable."

Summary: John says that when Jesus came into the world—when God took on human form and walked among us—most of the world didn’t recognize Him for who He was, and they rejected Him. How does the same thing happen today?
Verse: "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it."

Summary: In many people's lives, political movements and Christian symbols can become more important than a personal relationship with God. How can we expect the Ten Commandments to fix the problems in society if we're not abiding by them in our own personal lives? How can we declare "In God We Trust" as a nation if that's not the motto in our own homes?
Verse: "How the gold has become dim! How changed the fine gold! The stones of the sanctuary are scattered at the head of every street."
—Lamentations 4:1

Summary: The Bible is full of warnings like "do not judge lest ye be judged," but does that mean Christians really aren't allowed to identify certain behaviors as wrong or immoral?
Verse: "Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ."
—Jude 1:3-4
