Disappearing Truths

Does it seem like the world you live in is getting more and more out of control? Every day the newspaper carries stories of people who lose control in one way or another?with disastrous results to themselves or someone else.

Does it seem more and more difficult to really know what to believe? What is true. What matters?

The reason for all this uncertainty and loss of control says Mark Finley is that we?ve somehow lost our sense of right and wrong. We?ve lost our sense of moral principles. We?ve lost our sense of absolutes.

Something else has taken their place. And it?s this: The notion that right and wrong are whatever I happen to think they are. That?s where we are today. It took us a long time to get here. But we?ve arrived. It?s high noon in the post-modern World. We?re stepping out into the street for our moment of truth our showdown. And what guides our steps is this: Right and wrong are whatever I happen to think they are.

In Disappearing Truths Mark Finley argues that it?s terribly important today to realize that truth is vanishing today. But the importance of truth has never been greater. There are absolutes. Truth does exist. Right and wrong aren?t determined by what you or I or anyone else happens to think. You may think a certain path you?ve chosen is the right one. You may think it?s the necessary path. And you may be stepping out at high noon with a feeling of great confidence in your heart. But you know what? That won?t keep you safe that won?t make a bit of difference?not if there?s something destructive on that path.

Only as we come to know God and His truth can we live in security and happiness.
