How can you tell what’s right and what’s wrong? Fortunately, many would say, we live in an age where objective truth has disappeared. What’s true for you isn’t true for others, and what’s wrong for you isn’t wrong for others. But is it truly good for us when morals change from generation to generation and you can write your own? Or, are we missing something?

So often we’re told that we need to follow our own truth - that I need to pursue what makes me truly happy, regardless of the cost? At other times, we’re told that I should ignore myself and think only and ever of others. However, there is a third - and better - way of approaching life.

Why would anyone living today trust the Bible? Isn’t it full of terrible instances of violence and oppression? Isn’t it barbaric and outdated? Besides, you can’t really rely on a document that’s over 2000 years old. It’s been translated so often there’s very little likelihood that what we’re reading is what was written. Right? The answer just might surprise you!

Some have said, “Religion is basically how ancients understood the world, but science has taken us so far beyond that. If science explains or will explain everything, why do we really need God?” Others say, “ Science is man’s way of trying to get rid of God. It deifies itself, and shouldn’t be trusted - only what comes from faith can be counted on.” Which is true? The reality is, the answer is both … and neither. True truth is found in both the book of nature and the book of Scripture.

There is a phenomenon taking place in our world today, particularly in our America expression of Christianity - the notion of deconstructing one’s faith. Many in the established religious sphere have bemoaned this, and, sometimes, rightly so. However, this is not simply a flippant disregard for the holy, but most often it is a deep and reasoned response to hard things the church in general has not always handled well. Begin a journey of looking at this process and perhaps discover that it just might be foundational for what it means to REALLY follow after this man called Jesus.
