“ Great Lecture! ” Why is our society falling apart? The reason is that we have rejected the absolute truth of God in favor of relativism. Relativism teaches that there is no absolute truth and that each one must find truth and meaning within himself. But is it absolutely true that there is no absolute truth? The denial of absolute truth is logically impossible, yet 98% of college students do not believe there are any absolutes. This belief that each one must find truth within himself is the cause of much of the absurdity we see in our society as well as the purposelessness, despair, and culture of death which surround us. "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Proverbs 14:12
It is only the Bible and the God of the Bible that provide the absolutes, and hence the stability, necessary to combat the deadly consequences of relativism. Do not be as Pilate, who with the very incarnation of truth standing before him asked, "What is truth?" and then turned away from Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth and the Life! Come to Jesus Christ and build your life on the absolutes of His Word to discover truth, meaning, and purpose in life!
