Having asked for
suggestions for this week’s post, I received a very interesting one from
Daniel, 17, of Atlanta, Georgia. He asks, “Is football spiritually important?”*

Anniversary Update!
Last week, I posted the
52nd Quest Forums article.
Having started out in February, 2015, that means I averaged better than a post
a week. Of course, it did not work out quite that way in practice, but it still
feels like a milestone. I may not be reaching the audience of my wildest
dreams, but I have experienced some growth. And I proved something to myself,
at the very least, by having the dedication to stick with it.

Should I Play the Powerball?
Maybe the most talked about
thing in the country right now is the historically high jackpot for the Powerball.
As of my writing this, it has not yet been won and stands at $1.5 billion. The
more it grows, the more people get on board in an attempt to win this
life-altering sum. Of course, the odds never improve. Your chances at getting the
right combination stand at 1 in 292,201,338, per ABC
News. As Wired.com
puts it, that is about as good as the odds of having your name randomly drawn
from a hat containing the name of every person in the United States.
How Can You "Taste" God's Goodness?
There
can be no question that the Bible says some unusual things. Quite frequently,
they can be difficult to understand and explain. To my mind, however, that is a
reason to love it. The challenge stretches and strengthens the mind, and once
you have gone through the hard work of understanding, it deepens the faith. Reading
the Bible, especially the confusing parts, is the path to growth.

Is There a Purgatory?
“Is there a Purgatory?”
This question is an important one because it is such a sticking point between
Roman Catholics and Evangelical Protestants. Protestants have long rejected the
doctrine because they consider it to not only be unbiblical, but anti-biblical.
In other words, it does not appear in the Bible and contradicts things that do
appear there.
