FEEDBACK:
Has the gospel been corrupted?
Muslims argue that Christians have corrupted the New Testament texts, resulting in doctrinal errors such as the deity of Christ, the Trinity, and original sin.

But a careful look at the Qur'an shows that Islam's most holy book affirms the inspiration, preservation, and authority of the Gospel record.


The lake of fire
Jesus calls hell "the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his angels." People who reject God's gracious offer of eternal life join Satan and his demons there. 

But what is hell like? Are the fires to be taken literally or figuratively? Is hell forever? These and other questions are explored in this post, which is part of an extended verse-by-verse study of Revelation.

10 biblical truths about the afterlife
Near-death experiences (NDEs) are all the rage and generally paint comforting scenes of the afterlife. But who, or what, is the ultimate authority on life beyond the grave and the unseen realm?

God has chosen not to answer every question about the afterlife in His Word, but He gives us enough information to know at least 10 simple truths. 

 
Help college students stand for the truth
Julie Loos, director of Ratio Christi Boosters, has written a five-part series on the college-church connection. Among other insights, Julie writes that the foundational action the church can take to help college students is to pray intentionally and strategically.

Churches should then follow up with relational apologetics training.
