The World in Which We Live - Word Foundations

And How Christians Must Respond

Unfortunately, we live in a day in which most people are confused about truth and reality. That which cannot be changed is seen as malleable, and that which actually can be altered and changed is believed to be fixed. Trying to change the truth—especially as it relates to issues like sexuality, human life, and marriage—can only bring disastrous results. Moreover, the messages people get from the culture do not help them sort through the “weeds”; they actually confuse them further.

Against this backdrop, sad to say, many Christians are squeamish, or at least less than forthright, about what they believe. The situation reminds me of the following humorous exchange from the Jack Benny radio program airing October 18, 1953. The clip features Benny, voice talent Mel Blanc, and actress Veola Vonn.

I believe that God is the source of truth, and that He has revealed the truth

- - in nature;
  - in His Word, the Bible; and
  - in Jesus, His only Son.

God’s truth helps people find their way in and otherwise dark world. In John 8:32 Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Christians have absolutely nothing for which to be ashamed.
