For those of you who possess authentic faith in Jesus Christ and are committed to the historic teachings of the Bible,…you are very important members of the contemporary culture. Even though that has been the case throughout the history of Christianity, I believe it could be said that never has our culture needed you more […]
Indoctrination in the Name of Tolerance Institutions and individuals never drift anywhere worthwhile. —adapted from Michael Hyatt— Key point: Even nearly fifty years ago, astute observers realized the claim of open-mindedness on the part of liberals was a sham. This truth is even more apparent today—but we still need to expose it so others won’t be […]
High Sounding, Emotional Rhetoric that Lacks Sufficient Biblical Grounding My concern with the term “social justice” is this: It muddies the true meaning of justice by smuggling in the concept of rights where that concept shouldn’t apply, turning charity into what is owed, and this has implications for the gospel…. [O]ne can only understand the […]
As a liberal, as an American, and as a Jew, I far more fear the left than the right. —Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz— Key points: Just as a decisive response was needed to the unraveling of biblical truth at Azusa Pacific University, so is a decisive response needed to the abandonment of American ideals […]
A Sobering Assessment I respect the courts, but the Supreme Court is only that—the supreme of the courts. It is not the supreme being. It cannot overrule God, when it comes to prayer, when it comes to life, and when it comes to the sanctity of marriage, the court cannot change what God has created. […]
The Attack on Voluntary Prayer [A]s D. James Kennedy once pointed out, in 1935, what was the most educated nation on earth? The answer was Germany. But that didn’t prevent Auschwitz from taking place. So there is such a thing as education, where if it’s devoid of God, it is dangerous. —Jerry Newcombe— Key point: […]
The Attack on Innocent Human Life The entire basis for Roe v. Wade was built upon false assumptions. —an affidavit submitted by Norma McCorvey (the Roe in Roe v. Wade) to the District Court of New Jersey in 2000— Key point: Court cases that prevail in court but that were built on lies result in more lies. […]
The Attack on Marriage We call marriage a sacrament because it is a sign of God and His creation. It’s the definition of the word creation. We’ve got to restore this and teach it in the churches. We’ve got to take this simple little nugget of truth and build on it so that eventually we […]
The State of the Church Here is the great evangelical disaster—the failure of the evangelical world to stand for truth as truth. There is only one word for this—namely accommodation. The evangelical church has accommodated to the world spirit of the age.…This accommodation has been costly, first in destroying the power of the Scriptures to […]
Relativism’s Enticement Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts. —Daniel Patrick Moynihan— Two-and-a-half years ago I wrote a series of very brief articles for use as one-minute radio spots. Some of them offered observations about current events that now seem out-of-date; but many, like this one, remain timeless. If It […]
Relativism’s Flaws It becomes very difficult to live in a completely relativistic world.…Suppose you are waiting in your car at a train crossing, and a train is coming down the tracks at 60 miles an hour. You know that if you drive your car out in front of that train, you are not going to […]
Relativism’s Bitter Fruit They’ve got this foolish concept that man evolved from something that even a microscope cannot see it. They’ve got this foolish idea that once upon a time I lived in water and then crawled out of the water, lost my tail, and became a monkey. They’ve got this foolish idea that man […]
The Foundation and Benefits of Absolute Truth True Liberty Is Grounded in a Recognition of Absolute Truth There are three points of doctrine the belief of which forms the foundation of all morality. The first is the existence of God; the second is the immortality of the human soul; and the third is a future […]
Hollywood Demonstrates the Folly of Relativism Did he do the same with the foundation? —Ravi Zacharias, asking his host at Ohio State University about the architect’s design of the Wexner Center for the Arts, which the host said was “America’s first postmodern building” with “pillars that have no purpose,” “stairways that go nowhere,” and no […]
The Myth of Complete Autonomy In his book The Abolition of Man, [C. S.] Lewis warned that moral relativism (the denial of universal and objective moral truths and principles), foolish emotionalism, and the rejection of reason would bring about cultural decay and growing depravity. When societies fail to teach morality and train the hearts of […]
Getting the Big Picture of Reality Is a Key Factor in Affirming the Existence of Absolute Truth and Understanding Authentic Liberty [T]he problem of the 1920s to the 1980s…is the attempt to have absolute freedom—to be totally autonomous from any intrinsic limits. It is the attempt to throw off anything that would restrain one’s own […]
