A culture with no absolute truth is characterized by a constant flurry of counterfeit “truths” that lead to confusion and chaos. As Christians, we must have discernment to separate the true from the false, as well as the biblical knowledge to defend our faith so that we may speak the truth in love and protect our children from the sound of many false voices.

In today’s culture, the biblical definition of marriage and family is under severe attack.  It is increasingly evident that the family, like a house, needs a firm foundation if it is to survive the storms that threaten its stability. Only a firm foundation will enable the family to be strong, to grow, and to become all that it can and should be.

There are injustices in our society, and we know that racial animosity has led to wars, discrimination, and oppression for centuries. The church has a responsibility to advocate for the poor, the sick, and the marginalized, but to also remember that God is no respecter of persons. Only at the cross do we see what true reconciliation looks like.

We live in a society that increasingly seeks to undermine the very foundations of our Judeo-Christian faith. When the need to penetrate the darkness and stand firm against the evil in our culture is so great, why does the church appear to be silent? What should members of the family of God be prepared to do?
