e live in a world that is increasingly and radically opposed to the will of God. Nowhere is this more apparent than on a college campus. Universities are usually on the cutting edge of societal movement, decision making, and change. Not only is this evident in the classroom—where scientific, historic, cultural, and ethical ideas are introduced and discussed—but also in the laboratories and hospitals, in the think-tanks, in the researcher’s studies, in the students’ social and political forums, and in the policy maker’s board rooms. What is taught, researched, and considered here eventually (and almost inevitably) creeps out into the larger world. So be prepared for the fact that when you get to college, you may possibly be bombarded with anti-Christian thought. Your biology professor will teach that you evolved from a tadpole.Your history teacher will use the Crusades to prove that Christians are insensitive, domineering, and bloodthirsty.Your philosophy teachers will try to convince you that there is no such thing as truth. And your ethics professors will claim that life is yours to keep or do away with. In short, everything you know to be true, they will probably claim is a lie.
