Questions we get asked . . .

From A to Z, you might get asked a wide variety of questions about the "way you believe" or "why you do like you do" or " why are you so fanatical."  At the November 13th Bible study, we put our heads together and came up with just a few questions we've been asked personally or comments about living for Jesus.  And along with the questions/comments, we found some great Biblical backup to the question.
