THE POSTMODERN MIND AND THE CHRISTIAN

A large percentage of people today have a naturalistic worldview and a relativistic morality. For them truth is perceptual and subjective rather than objective and absolute. Experience and observation determine whether something is true or false, and that renders a variable reality, which differs from person to person and culture to culture.
There is no inclination to trust the Bible as objective and absolute truth. This is the way the postmodern mind thinks, and this makes it difficult for a Christian who views God as sovereign and immutable and the Bible as authoritative to find common ground for dialogue about spiritual subject matter. I have an escalating concern that Christians are developing a postmodern frame of reference, jettisoning parts of the Bible with which their feelings and perceptions cannot agree, abandoning theological anchor points to embrace an inclusiveness that is purely a personal preference.
