At work we are going through Focus on the Family's "Truth Project." This is a series that seeks to give christians a biblical worldview because lets face it not all believers have that. Today we covered Philosophy and Ethics. I absolutely loved it although there were alot of sad realities that were shown in the video. When people take God out of anything you get a shell of what used to be truth that is now a lie. When people take God out of philosophy you get pathetic attempts of people trying to explain big questions like "why are we here" and "what is the meaning of life" and "what is reason". they get answered with all these different "ism's" like idealism, rationalism, naturalism, relativism, mentalism, etc that are all wrong.
When God is taken out of life people end up depressed, lonely and trying to fill voids. They turn to pleasure (hedonism) because "if im not going anywhere when i die i better seize the day"
Ethics and morality get tossed out the window because there is nothing firm to base it off of. People end up going with statistics to determine what is right and wrong. "Statics show that people are more linient towards homosexuality and abortion" therefore it must be ok since 56% (the majority) of the population is ok with these practices.
Please do not let God be taken out of your life and worldview. Crazy, wait sinful and God belittling, things happen when God is taken out of any area of our lives.
Grace and Peace
