Whatever happened to right and wrong? What is behind the blatant abandonment of ethics throughout the world, in businesses, homes, and even the Church? In this program, Chip addresses these critical questions, as he pulls back the curtain on the history of moral relativism. Learn why absolute truth is an essential building block of any society.

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
