There must be no accommodation to the general tolerance of our culture. Christ must be preached as Lord and we must call people to submit to Him. This means we must continue to uphold the truth. This brings us to another important characteristic of our postmodern situation - the loss of truth. Secularism discards Christian truth because it regards God and His word as irrelevant to life.
Pluralism devalues Christian truth by regarding it as one truth among many.
Again this is a major shift from the view of truth held during the time of Christendom. Then the Biblical story was regarded as authoritative - It gave meaning to life and made sense of human existence and history. Not so any more. The prevailing thinking today is that it is impossible to really know the truth. No one can claim to have the truth because everyone makes up their own truth.
