The Deconstruction of Truth.

As I read through the third section of Barth, I came across the word Logos a good many times. It stated that Logos is truth. This led me back to an apologetic article that I read on the postmodern condition. It states that ministry is harder than it used to be because of modern human nature. It said that modern society has a very unique perspective on truth. To society, truth is not relative. It stated that the definition of "truth" had been deconstructed so that each person has their own definition of what truth is. It continues to say that anyone that claim to have an ultimate source of truth is to be rejected. So as Christians, since we claim to have an absolute truth and moral standard, we are to be shunned. Also, documents that claim to be sources of the truth, such as the bible, are to be rejected as well for trying to force false truth on people. Unfortunately, since people turn their backs from relative truth, they rely on their own morality to tell them what is right or wrong. However, as sinful beings, our own morality can be faulty. Our morality can justify drug addiction, murder, and other atrocious things because there is no moral standard.

Jesus Christ needs to be our moral standard. Jesus Christ showed us the model lifestyle. He laid the foundation for Truth. It's like John 14:6 says: "Jesus answered, "I am the Way, the TRUTH, and the life."
