We see every day the effects of a world where truth is believed to be and acted upon as if it were subjective. Of course, this has consequences—for people we are commanded to love (both brothers and the lost) and the holy God sinned against.
And that is why we proclaim the truth—because it does matter.
Our hope is that these statements might be used to bring about conversations of eternal consequence.
“You and I can discover truth, but we cannot create it. What’s true is true and what’s not is not – for all of us, all the time. Our culture views truth as something inside us, subject to revision according to our growth and enlightenment. Scripture views truth as something outside us, which we can believe or not but can never sway.”
Randy Alcorn
“Without absolutes revealed from without by God Himself, we are left rudderless in a sea of conflicting ideas about matters, justice and right and wrong, issuing from a multitude of self-opinionated thinkers.”
John Owen
“The moral absolutes rest upon God’s character. The moral commands He has given to men are an expression of His character. Men as created in His image are to live by choice on the basis of what God is. The standards of morality are determined by what conforms to His character, while those things which do not conform are immoral.”
