Moral truth

We've completed videos of The Ten Commandments this month, and I hope you enjoyed it. Some Jewish perspectives on the "decalogue" were new to me, as they would be for most Christians. 


Is moral truth for real? If the God of the Bible exists, then He is intensely engaged with humanity and has revealed timeless moral truth. Even atheists will sometimes agree that morality is just made up by society unless a good and sovereign God exists.

A free society needs moral truth, not just moral opinions. The human heart is inadequate as a universal standard.

“Generations of Americans since the 1950s have been raised with 'how do you feel about it?' rather than 'this is right and this is wrong.' The heart has substituted for the code. The heart has substituted for God. And the result is civilization in decay.”
