Some Bible studies, in an effort to reach a wide audience, seem so general it is hard to get a handle on just where they would fit into your life. Here is a different type of Bible study. You can do it on your own, at your own pace, and it is very practical. As you answer your friends letter be sure to give a scriptural response. No opinions are allowed. Everything in your response must be supported by scripture. Sometimes it helps if you actually write out the responses.


letterDear Friend –

My oldest child is a senior in high school and is preparing to go off to college. He tells me the Bible says not to have sex outside your marriage once you are married but it is ok to have sex before you are married. Is this true?

Dear Friend,

My middle schooler is really having a hard time making friends. One of the reasons he is finding it so difficult is that he is seen as a nerd because he prays before he eats his lunch at school. The kids at school know he goes to church on Sundays and he has invited them to church but no one will ever come. Now he says he is tired of going to church, and if it is going to keep him from having friends then Christianity is just not worth it. What should I do?
