Most who observe our culture recognize that there is a titantic clash working itself out in the public square between two worldviews. The Christian worldview and the anti-god human secularist worldview. The implications of this conflict are far reaching. The very survival of our nation as we know it will depend on the outcome of this battle which is clearly for the very soul of America. Frankly, through the filter of political correctness and a clear slant in the major media toward the progressives and their relativist dogma things don't look to good for the Christian worldview. When one examines the evidence it appears the battle is leaning favorably toward the left. It was Vladimir Lenin who said "give me four years to teach the children and the seeds I have sown will never be uprooted" With that in mind notice the thinking of young people in America concerning absolute truth. These statistics concerning young people in America are very telling:
In 1994 70% of youth said there is no absolute truth-all truth is relative. In 2001 85% of youth do not believe in unchanging moral absolutes. In 2002, 91% said there is no unchanging absolute moral truth outside of themselves.
Wow! while we were fighting the leftist in Washington, the relativist were training and indoctrinating our children away from God's absolute truth. The implications are clear, if there are no truths outside of what I determine to be true there are no rights or wrongs that are universally applied.
Another indicator that things don't looks to good for absolute truth in America is that upwards to 94 to 95% of all fundamental evangelical Christian high school graduates abandon their faith 12 months after finishing high school. Colleges and universities are bastions of relativist liberalism.
As a pastor, it is clear to me that our work is ever before us. We must re-enter the public square and recast into the hearts and minds of Americans those Judeo-Christian values that launched this country into existents. Turn our collective attention towards our children and explain that there are absolutes and explain the differents between subjective truth and objective truth. Teach them that there are moral rights and immoral wrongs that have devastating consequences when they are violated. In other words men and women we can not sit this one out. We must be engaged, we must fight for our survival, we must participate in the rescue of this republic while there is yet opportunity and liberty to do so! We have no other choice but to resist!
