Truth is under assault like never before, and in our increasingly postmodern culture we’re getting messages stuffed down our throats every day in media, books, music, and art. With all the noise and confusion, some of which we overly expose ourselves to, it’s easy to get confused signals sending your mind into a funk and your heart just wants to know the truth. But we can’t all have the truth. If we can all define our own versions of truth, then Hitler’s vision of ethnic cleansing was truth for him, right? Why do even the skeptics among us become outraged at this? If truth is relative, and we’re nothing more than exceptionally advanced primordial ooze, how can we say murder or rape or anything is wrong, and how can we explain for the amazing consensus in all cultures that these things are wrong? How is there imagination, how is there marvelous complexity in nature around us every day, how is there music?

The postmodern skepticism isn’t really new. Two thousand years ago, Pilate said bitterly to Jesus, “What is truth?”

A new generation needs the truth.

I’m going through Focus on the Family’s the Truth Project for a second time, and it cries out with a message so many of us need to hear. And I’m excited to see a new phase of the project coming soon, specifically designed for college students seeking answers. See the site at TrueU.org.
