THREE QUESTIONS

   If you attend a Christian church or a Christian religion, what do you know about Christ?
   What does your minister, pastor, or priest teach you about the Son of God?
   What is the substance of the messages or sermons you hear every week?
   What more do you know about the Lord today than you knew a year ago, five years ago, or even twenty to thirty years ago?
   Are the messages you hear in church interesting?  Or do you hear the same boring message every week?
   Have you heard the same messages for so long that you could write a sermon of your own?  Or perhaps even better than what you are hearing?
   Do you sleep in church, take a nap, or daydream through the service?
   Does your minister or priest teach the Word of the Lord, or does he or she read a verse or two along with the writings of significant others?
   When your church service ends, how do you feel?  Do you feel better about yourself, or do you feel any different than you felt a year ago, five years ago, or even twenty to thirty years ago?
   Other than for funerals or weddings, have you ever wept in church?
   Has your minister or priest ever wept in church?
   When you hear a sermon about Christ on the radio, do you listen or do you turn the channel?
   When you hear Christian music on the radio, do you listen or do you turn the channel?
   When people speak to you about the Lord or about the Bible, do you change the topic?
   If you attend a Christian church or a Christian religion, what do you teach your children at home?  Do you teach them about Christ, or do you teach them how to dress for church and how to behave themselves?
   Do you read the Bible at home?  Have your children ever seen you read the Bible at home?
   What, then, can you say about Jesus, whom is called Christ?
   Now we arrive at three questions:
      Do you believe that Christ died for your sins?  
      Do you believe that Christ was raised from the dead?
      Do you believe that Christ will return to the earth?
   What, exactly, do you believe about Christ and why do you believe it?
