“What is Truth?”
That’s what the governor Pilate said when Jesus came before him to stand trial prior to being crucified. And with that condescending and cynical question, Pilate essentially revealed his worldview. For him, there was no such thing as absolute truth. For him, truth was relative. Truth was what you made it.
But in abandoning the belief in absolute truth, man has essentially entered into just one more manifestation of rejecting God as the source of real absolute truth. As such, he has replaced God with himself. Man has sought to be his own god.
But God is “the God of truth”, and He has revealed that truth in the Bible which the Apostle Paul called “the Word of truth” (Psalm 31:5; 2 Timothy 2:15). Jesus Himself said in His prayer to God the Father, “Your Word is truth” (John 17:17). Truth is outside of us. It comes from above. It comes from God. It doesn’t come from opinion polls, surveys, human tradition, cultural distinctions, or sentimental notions.
“How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?
Truth is appropriated by faith: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:14, 17

Democracy?
In his “Democracy isn’t easy” article, a local newspaper columnist wrote, “It’s hard to do democracy when you’re passing God’s laws instead of human (humane) ones.” Apparently, democracy for him is a euphemism for “I want what I want and I want to do what I want to do.” How ironic…
