Why do we believe what we believe? This question is rarely asked directly to anyone. We live in a culture where the “why” is replaced by the “what.” “What do you think?” has always been a popular topic of discussion. However, when a believer is no longer confronted with the “what” but rather with the “why,” the lines begin to blur and minds begin to go blank. What can we possibly offer in response and where can we get our answers from? Isaiah 6 gives us the solution: we must look God face to face. This journey of seeking His face exposes us, exposes our culture, and makes us world changers. This quest is only for those brave enough to explore the wondrous depths and layers of the Most High. It is the search for truth – the most revolutionary discovery an individual can experience. Round One: Veritology Dr. Del Tackett challenges your thinking with a question: "Do you really believe that what you believe is really real?" What is truth? This question is of the utmost importance to our culture today. “Truth” is the determining factor in a person’s actions and reactions. For example, faith requires action. When a child jumps off the high diving board for the first time, he trusts that his dad will catch him. He acted thinking he could trust his parents, based on what he believed to be true. As Christians, we must ask ourselves this question daily. “Do my actions reflect my belief in the truth? » Second round: philosophy and ethics In 1981, Carl Sagan was chosen as humanist of the year. The work that won him the award is the very popular “Cosmos” series. Through his documentary, he quotes “The Cosmos is all that is, was or ever will be”. This thinking has transcended American identity. Without ...... middle of paper ...... become 'god'. He will be seen as provider, deliverer, guardian and judge. This possession of power deprives citizens of their rights. We must reclaim the individuality that the spheres once contained. Round Ten: The American Experiment No one likes to find out they've been lied to, and yet that's precisely what history has done. It has been rewritten and created new philosophies for us to believe in. As Americans, we tend to have two views regarding our founders. We either believe they were entirely pagan or entirely holy, or somewhere in between. I challenge this theory with one of my own: If our founding fathers were all pagans, why would God's character and decrees be so strongly enshrined in our Constitution? On the other hand, if they were saints, what good would their version of government be when they themselves had no realistic understanding of human nature? ??
