What happens after death? from Compelling Truth The Bible clearly describes what happens after death and the two possible eternal destinations everyone faces. For believers in Jesus Christ, after death their souls/spirits are taken to heaven because their sins are forgiven by having received Christ as Savior (John 3:16, 18, 36). For believers, death is to be “away from the body and at home with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:6-8; Philippians 1:23). The soul/spirit of a person is separated from the body at death and goes immediately into the presence of God, while…

SHOULD I ATTEND CHURCH ONLINE INDEFINITELY? by Dan Warne for Core Christianity For months on end, Sunday after Sunday, I looked down at a fire lane curb, painted red, and then looked up at a sea of pop-up tents and lawn chairs just before reading the call to worship. The church where I serve as a pastor met in a parking lot for eleven months during the COVID-19 pandemic. But this month, we returned to an indoor worship service. It was a joy to lead the call to worship that…

Paula knew in her heart that she should be starting conversations, yet she was still afraid to take action. She had a Muslim co-worker, and because she didn’t know anything about…

HOW COULD A GOOD GOD ALLOW SO MUCH SUFFERING? by Chris Morphew for Core Christianity I first met Alegra when she was five years old, on her very first day of school. Alegra was this fun, thoughtful, big-hearted kid—the kind of person who was always way more interested in paying attention to other people than trying to make them pay attention to her. And even though, as one of her teachers, I’d been told that Alegra was recovering from brain surgery and still had a bunch of medical stuff going…

What is the Truth about salvation? from Compelling Truth During one of the sham trials Jesus was subjected to before He was crucified, Pontius Pilate asked Him, “What is truth?” (John 18:38). Pilate asked the question mockingly. Pilate did not really care what the truth was and would not have believed it if Jesus had revealed it to him. But Pilate’s question is one that we must all wrestle with. What is the Truth about salvation? What is the truth about God? What is the truth about Jesus? What is…
