Without a fixed, moral authority, human nature will always gravitate toward the absence of all restraint. A changing society cannot provide a stable moral reference point. Only God can. History has proven the contrary. Well over a billion Muslims are ready to die defending moral absolutes.
All law is inherently moral.
Eventually, even this society will learn, perhaps the hard way, that we cannot avoid reaping what we sow. The Bible itself predicts that in the end times, before the final judgment, lawlessness will increase as society and individuals become more and more callous to conscience. Unknowingly, the relativists are actually fulfilling Scripture, and in many ways, the judgment has already begun. Copyright 1998 by the Iowa State Daily Publications Board. All rights reserved.
