Topic > The Truth Project: The Search for Truth - 1287

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 faced with the “what” and is instead challenged with the “why,” lines begin to blur and minds begin to go blank. What can we offer in response and where can we get our answers? Isaiah 6 gives us the solution: we must look at the face of God. This journey in search of His face exposes us, exposes our culture and transforms us into world changers. This quest is only for those brave enough to explore the wondrous depths and layers of the Almighty. It is the search for truth, the most life-changing discovery an individual could ever discover. Tour 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 current culture. “Truth” is the determining factor of a person's actions and reactions. For example, faith requires action. When a child jumps from a trampoline for the first time, he has faith that his dad will catch him. He acted believing he could trust his parents, based on what he believed to be true. As Christians we must ask ourselves this question every day. “Do my actions reflect my belief in the truth?” Tour Two: Philosophy and Ethics In 1981, Carl Sagan was chosen as Humanist of the Year. The work that earned him the award is the very popular “Cosmos” series. In his documentary he mentions “The Cosmos is all that is, was or ever will be”. This thinking has overtaken the American identity. Without... middle of paper... you become 'god'. He will be seen as provider, liberator, guardian and judge. This possession of power deprives citizens of their rights. We must recover the individuality that the spheres once contained. Tour Ten: The American Experiment No one likes to find out they've been lied to, yet that's exactly what history has done. It has been rewritten and created new philosophies to believe in. As Americans, we tend to have two views regarding our Founders. We believe they were either entirely pagan or entirely holy, with nothing 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 heavily inserted into our Constitution? Conversely, if they were saints, what good would their version of government be if they themselves did not have a realistic understanding of human nature??
