Our readings in this series are from the book, Understanding the Times Here is a brief excerpt from page 19:
“A measure of truth can be found in every unbelieving worldview. People cannot help themselves. Even those who deny God, resist His Word, and insist there are no final and absolute truths, nonetheless require truth to make sense of their lives. And this is so, even if the truth they hold contradicts other convictions, beliefs, or practices in their lives.
“This is a function of our being made in the image of God. We could no more exist without truth than without breath. And, while people may deny God and His truth, they will borrow freely from it as it suits their purposes. They may not realize or admit this is what they’re doing, but they not only will do it, they must. Part of our task in understanding the times is to observe glimmers of truth in people’s worldviews, and to show how these contradict other of their convictions or practices. We may find these bits of truth and contradictions to be useful as thin entering wedges for the larger teaching of God’s truth, and for the Gospel, especially if we can see that those truths are not native to their worldview but borrowed from ours.”
