Truth is relative, not absolute

The postmodern spirit has crept into the church, teaching that truth is flexible, subjective, and shaped by personal experience. Under this philosophy, what is "true for you" may not be "true for me." This mindset exalts feelings above Scripture, and places man as the ultimate judge of reality. It spawns the idea that doctrine is divisive and irrelevant, while personal authenticity is all that matters. This relativism undermines preaching, for if truth shifts from person to person, there is no authoritative Word to proclaim. It dissolves conviction, replacing certainty with doubt, and breeds a religion of sentiment rather than faith.

God's Word cuts through this confusion with sharp clarity. "Sanctify them by the truth; Your Word is truth" (John 17:17). Truth is not subjective; it is fixed in the eternal Word of God. "Your word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens" (Psalm 119:89). Jesus declared, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away" (Matthew 24:35). Relativism is a lie that contradicts the very nature of God, who "does not change like shifting shadows" (James 1:17). To reject absolute truth is to reject God Himself, for He is "the God of truth" (Isaiah 65:16).
