Many social commentators have observed that our society today no longer accepts the idea that there is absolute truth. Facts and statements that are true, that are to be accepted by all people in all places and at all times and that are incumbent upon all to follow, in other words, absolute truth, is no longer accepted by many, probably most in our society. This important change in our thinking shows itself in daily conversation. Don't try to impose it on me. And so it goes.
Absolute truth seems to have gone the way of the dinosaurs.
I've noticed that some Christians like to think that we are somehow immune from what's going on in the world. Sometimes, however, we are more like the world than we should be. Years ago I was teaching an adult Bible class. We were studying a difficult passage of Scripture, not difficult to understand but difficult in that it challenged our natural sinful inclinations. Years ago you would never say such a thing, especially in a Bible class and in front of the minister.
