FEEDBACK:
The goodness of hell
One of the most disturbing truths of the Christian faith is the doctrine of hell. Atheists use it to deny the existence of a loving God. And Christians often find themselves squeamishly defending the notion that a good God sends some people to a place of everlasting torment.

But let's consider for a moment that the notion of a loving God and the doctrine of hell are compatible. There is nothing of one that cancels out the other. 


7 biblical truths about sex and marriage

Scripture provides at least seven practical truths about sex and marriage, including:

 

(1) The Bible condemns all forms of sexual behavior outside the bonds of heterosexual, monogamous, life-long marriage.

 

(2) God has spoken clearly in His word about the issue.

Meet Bill Victor, Missouri apologist
To answer the hard questions about Christianity, Bill Victor starts in the center - the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
 
Establishing the truth of the resurrection sheds light that puts the rest of the Bible into perspective, Victor explained.
 
"Jesus is part of a bigger story and if you take his death, his teaching and his authority seriously, you'll want to find out the story he is part of," he said.

God's creative intent for sexuality
The best place to begin a Biblical analysis of same-sex attraction is, well, in the beginning. The first three chapters of Genesis introduce us to God, reveal His eternality, instruct us in His sovereignty, suggest His triune nature, and demonstrate His power and purpose in creation.

He created man and woman as the crown of His handiwork (Gen. 1:26). He created us for exclusive intimacy with Him; that is, He shares His glory with no other god and is jealous for our full devotion to Him.
