In our current world and our society; all too often, we find ourselves being told that “truth is relative.” Meaning truth does not exist; because, if truth depends upon my individual feelings concerning truth–there is no absolute truth. Without absolute truth, science fails, psychology cannot salvage a flailing mind, and there cannot exist any morality or reasoning. Unfortunately, Christians have fallen into this same web of relativism; because, they so want to present love that they openly compromise their own believes to not be called some bigot or “phobic” individual. Yet, if truth does not exist; then, humans will plunge this world into nothingness. However, there remains one truth: God. The creator of all that exists, the being without which no being can exist. Without God, we have no hope. Furthermore, if you do not know God’s Truth; you will perish beneath your own weight of relativism.
With these thoughts in mind, I wrote for you this poem on which to ponder; because, the fears, pains, and confusion resulting from embracing relativism will harm you. For that reason, I want to give you a response in the dark of the night, when evil attacks at midday sun, or when the media and world cause your faith to fray. For me, I choose to be anchored with my foundation firmly held by God’s truth: because, I have learned through many trials that His Word is True. In Christ Jesus, my Lord and Savior; my future stands firm; no matter what sorrows, fears or evil ravages our world; because, God has shown me His truth.
In a World of Relativism; LORD, Truth IS You
By Effie Darlene Barba
In the Dark of the Night
When fears do engage
When truth fades from sight
While anger and hate of enemy’s rage
Destroying our hope with their false sense of might
Awakened by fear, we seek what is true
Then we recall: LORD, TRUTH IS YOU
CHORUS
Your Spirit then drawing near to my side
With Songs of Sweet Grace and Your Words of love
Your promises true in which to abide
And fixing my eyes on your Son Above
Firmly you’re holding my life in Your hand
The winds, storms, and seas obey your command
When Evil Men reign in the midday sun
Breaking our hearts causing our faith to fray
Believing their lies, we think they have won
We sigh with such grief; then, begin to pray
Awakened by pain; we seek what is true
Then we recall; LORD, TRUTH IS YOU
CHORUS
Your Spirit then drawing near to my side
With Songs of Sweet Grace and Your Words of love
Your promises true in which to abide
And fixing my eyes on your Son Above
Firmly you’re holding my life in Your hand
The winds, storms, and seas obey your command
The World’s media cry, “Truth is not real!”
Maligning all those who stand on God’s Word
Defining their truth; by how one does feel
Unless you speak truth, then you are absurd
Confused by the crowd, we seek what is true
Then we recall; LORD, TRUTH IS YOU
CHORUS
Your Spirit then drawing near to my side
With Songs of Sweet Grace and Your Words of love
Your promises true in which to abide
And fixing my eyes on your Son Above
Firmly you’re holding my life in Your hand
The winds, storms, and seas obey your command
SCRIPTURES OF TRUTH
Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth. I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord. Psalm 31:4-6
This is a nation that does not obey the voice of the Lord their God nor receive correction. Truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth. Jeremiah 27:28 (NKJV)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6
