‘We hear a lot of talk about eliminating waste and having more preventative health care. But the most powerful health care initiative we could get is the last thing they will propose: Traditional family values. The same values undermined by the liberal abortion regime and moral relativism they promote.’ –Star Parker

Moral relativism relieves us from having to make moral judgments, or in other words ‘every man does what is right in his own eyes.’ But isn’t this a moral judgment in itself that there is no absolute standard of right and wrong? It is part of our rebellion against the Law of God impressed on the conscience.
The preachers of unrighteousness do not want to hear that as image bearers we are responsible to obey the Law and that sin is the transgression of the Law. They say that we are too modern to hold to the old doctrine that sin is the source of all human misery and death.
There is a new doctrine that denies the original sin and its curse. We have moved passed doubting God’s word to an outright denial that God exists. Now we are told that death is the natural order and necessary for life to advance. Quality of life is elevated over life itself.
With the denial of revealed truth comes the denial of creation and the fall of man into sin and the denial of judgment and righteousness and the denial of redemption in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We can also deny the curse, but we must live with its consequences in a body given to corruption.
