When did moral standards like fidelity, honesty, and sacrificial love give way to safe sex, adultery, and living together? In this program, Chip continues addressing society's abandonment of biblical morality. Discover the devastating impact moral relativism has had on the culture and the church - and what Jesus said about absolute truth.

Main Points

Introduction: We’ve got a problem!

The symptom: Moral issues
The issues: Ethics and values
The dilemma: Who determines what’s right or wrong?
The question: What is truth?

Understanding the real problem: Diagnosis - Our view of truth has dramatically shifted in the last 50-60 years.

Among Intellectuals - Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis
In Education - The Closing of the American Mind by Allan Bloom
In Law & Science - Reason in the Balance: The Case Against Naturalism in Science, Law, and Education by Phillip E. Johnson
In Culture - Escape from Reason by Francis A. Schaeffer AND The God Who Is There by Francis A. Schaeffer

How is the “relative truth –vs– absolute truth” conflict played out daily?

Public Rhetoric = Truth is Relative - "All are right," Pluralism, Tolerance
Private Rhetoric = Truth is Absolute - "My rights," Justice, Fairness
Painful Reults = Sowing and Reaping

What did Jesus say about truth?

Jesus’ outrageous claims …about Himself -John 14:6 | …about His Word -John 17:17
Jesus’ outrageous concern …about you -John 4:23 | …about your freedom -John 8:32
