Next Study: CONFIDENCE IN THE FACE OF HARD QUESTIONS

We are increasingly living in a “post-Christian” era, a situation in which Christianity is no longer the dominant civil religious practice of a society.   Rather the society has gradually assumed values, culture, and worldviews that are not Christian or may be “almost Christian.”  We live in an era of having to choose to be Christian or Christian-lite, if you will, non-Christian.  

During our lifetimes Christianity's monopoly in historically Christian societies has been ignored or diluted to something less, or the society has embraced secularism (doctrine that morality should be based on the well-being of man in the present life, without regard to religious belief or a hereafter") or even atheism (there is no God, eat, drink and be merry).  

Such alternative worldviews include, but now-a-days are certainly not limited to: secularism (human focused)  nationalism (nation focused),  environmentalism (environment focused) and organized atheism (anti-God-ism). Sometimes militant and other social, political, or popular ideologies such as veganism or ethical veganism may dominate world views. In the midst of so MANY world views is there any world view that is “purely God focused”?  And I don’t mean God-focused in religion (practice), but God-focused in faith (motivation to action)? 

For much of our history America has been a place where, even if biblical principles were not followed, they were at least acknowledged or held as a target to be striven for.  But Judeo-Christian ethics are no longer assumed or even embraced.  In our current era of “there is no Truth” we Christians must know WHY we believe what we do and WHY we believe it is the truth.  

This study looks at six prominent questions that individuals in secular society use to attack the Christian faith, and provides an understanding of why biblical beliefs are true, along with an apologetic (defensible position) for standing strong against UNTRUTHS hurled against our faith.
