On Truth


In the future, I will be posting quite a bit on truth. One of the most foundational aspects of the Christian faith is the view of truth. In our society today, the belief that truth is relative and subjective has infiltrated to the deepest fabric of our thinking. It is sad to see it taking such a prominent place in the thinking of our leaders and those who are pushing it to captive minds in universities all over the country. If it is disheartening to see it pushed throughout secular society, it is even more alarming and frightening to see it within contemporary Christian churches. However, it many churches today, the idea that truth is absolute (applies to everyone, everywhere, and at all times) has crumbled under the weight of modern philosophy. Instead of using the word of God as the guide by which we should live our lives, modern church leaders are trying to mold and make the gospel palatable to a postmodern generation. It is on this topic that I will be posting various observations on what I believe is the danger that faces the church today and the errors I see in not only their methodology, but also the internal contradictions that cause it to crumble under its own weight.
