Absolute Reality


Today's generation gets their reality from every other place but what is real. What is real...I mean really real is the Lord Jesus. He has claimed to be "the way, the truth and the life." Has that claim been refuted?

I am observer of culture. The culture that I see is anti-reality and leading generations of people no where. TV, music, and movies all reflect a very narrow view of life, yet many people depend on these mediums as their only source for truth and reality. TV shows now allow vocabulary that was once taboo. Fathers are consistently portrayed as self-centered bumbling fools. Broken and fractured are the norms for many of the families presented...all leading to the way life should be lived, according to those in power. Evolution, liberalism, atheism and socialism are all incompatible with each other, yet you will find that these are the ideas for a better life of many who ascribe to the above notions.

Well, there is one problem...a consistent worldview. None of these can be lived out in a life consistently. We have let those who ascribe to this inconsistent worldview determine for us what is true and real. I maintain that Jesus Christ is the only reality that I know. A Christian worldview is the only worldview capable of being lived out consistently. I see no other consistent worldview out there.

The real way, the real truth and the real life is found in Jesus Christ. Science and philosophy are man's attempt at religion with out God. Look at today's culture and society, what do you think? Are we a better place now that we have put some of these evolutionary ideas into practice? I know my answer; what is yours?
