If an idea or philosophy conflicts with itself, then it’s called “self-refuting.” To refute is to prove something false or wrong. Skepticism and relativism refute themselves. They prove themselves false. Skepticism and relativism are self-refuting. They are philosophies that demonstrate they aren’t true. The same arguments the skeptics and relativists use to support their claims also prove their claims false. Here’s why skeptical and relativistic thinking is irrational. If “no one can know anything absolutely,” then no one can know “no one can know anything absolutely.” If you “can’t know some things for certain,” then you can’t know for certain you “can’t know some things for certain.” You might have to think about that for a while to understand it. Self-refuting claims tend to confuse most of us. Relativism and skepticism don’t work in the real world since they always refute themselves.

Of course, some thinkers speak only for themselves. They don’t presume to speak for all humanity. They may just assert they don’t know any method by which anyone can have certainty. And it may be they don’t know any method. How sad it would be for them to go through life not knowing anything! They need to know how they can know the important things in life with absolute certainty.

Sound reasoning is impossible without truth. Being rational is all about finding the truth. And yet, many people say truth is too high a goal. They say something like this:

Just surviving is the best you can hope for.
Life can never have real meaning.

Instead of meaning and truth, some people say you should just live for sensual pleasure. That’s called hedonism. It’s just one of many philosophies people invent trying to deal with not having any truth or meaning. Hedonism is an empty philosophy. None of the other godless philosophies work either. You need the truth. You need meaning. No philosophy will give you the truth. You can’t get to the truth through any philosophy. You can get to the truth, but not through any philosophy. Philosophy isn’t the way to truth. Philosophy is a way to deception. Without truth, there’s no hope of sanity. Truth is a Person: Jesus Christ.

IF YOU FEEL DISCOURAGED

When I think of David on the battlefield,
He knew God was stronger than a sword and shield.
When he fought Goliath, he was not alone.
God was right there with him guiding that small stone.

If you feel discouraged; if you feel sad;
If this day is worse than any day you ever had,
Just remember Jesus. He will make it right.
Darkness dies at His command because He is the light.
Dead arise; the fallen stand when strengthened in His might.

You have got the power–power from above.
Know that God is in you. Feel His pow’r and love.
You will be the victor. You will win the war.
You will rise and conquer. You have got the pow’r.

If you feel discouraged; if you feel sad;
If this day is worse than any day you ever had,
Just remember Jesus. He will make it right.
Darkness dies at His command because He is the light.
Dead arise; the fallen stand when strengthened in His might.

You have got the power–He is Jesus Christ.
Love, Joy, peace, and patience. He has paid the price.
Gentleness and goodness lives inside your soul.
Self-control and faith and He will make you whole.

If you feel discouraged; if you feel sad;
If this day is worse than any day you ever had,
Just remember Jesus. He will make it right.
Darkness dies at His command because He is the light.
Dead arise; the fallen stand when strengthened in His might.

Relativism and Post-Modernism

Relativism and Post-Modernism

Growing up, I never thought much about logic, but I did wonder how you can know the truth. I noticed that people on both sides of arguments could make their cases and sound convincing. Some were more convincing than others, but I tried to understand why. Often, it wasn’t obvious who, if anyone, was right. The one who put on the best show (the best persuader) was the one who seemed right, but putting on the best show doesn’t prove anything. As I observed, I realized how dangerous persuasive people can be when they’re wrong.

I grew up repeating clichés like “everything is relative.” It was second nature for me to say, “There are no absolutes.” I would say, “The one thing you can know for certain is that you can’t know anything for certain.” I felt very wise, but I didn’t realize how foolish I was. My statements were self-refuting. I looked at the idea of logic as a boring subject that wasn’t relevant to my life. I assumed my thoughts were logical and reasonable, but I had never studied logic. My beliefs seemed to make sense to me. I thought they must be logical. And yet, I had no idea how logic works. I didn’t know I had to base logic on truth and I could only get truth through Christ.

You live in a naturalistic society. This naturalistic society thinks it’s too bold to talk about absolute truth. After all, the majority of people believe no one can know anything absolutely. They say everything is relative and no one can be certain about anything. Even many Christians believe you can’t know any truth absolutely. They claim to be certain no one can be certain about anything. It’s a philosophy called “relativism” or “skepticism.” Skeptics say you can’t discern between truth and error. They claim to know absolutely that no one can know anything absolutely. Does it do any good to know the truth if you can’t know for certain the truth is the truth?

Only by listening to Jesus can we know the truth.

IF THE HOLY SPIRIT LEADS

Some doctrine, dogma, theory, thought
Seems so valid when it’s not.
Is it revelation though
Or speculation; do you know?
When men’s assumptions are forgot,
They sound like facts, but they are not,
And on this sandy soil of lies
They build a tower to the skies.

If the Holy Spirit leads
Each one who yields,
Each one who heeds,
He will teach us all the same.
Glory to His holy Name!
Let us follow as He leads us,
For in Him, we are agreed.
All our own ways, now disclaim.
Glory to His Holy name.

The mind is wicked to deceive,
Many tricks are up its sleeve.
Taking theories from the pit,
It twists the Word of God to fit.
And, all those strongholds in the mind,
Now how they hold us, how they bind!
Lord, all these theories, take away.
Expose them to the light of day.

If the Holy Spirit leads
Each one who yields,
Each one who heeds,
He will teach us all the same.
Glory to His holy Name!
Let us follow as He leads us,
For in Him, we are agreed.
All our own ways, now disclaim.
Glory to His Holy name.

God’s Word is pure, but logic? No!
When combined, they’re quite a show.
Tainted truth is never shy
To bring forth one more crafty lie.
But rather if the Spirit leads,
If we will yield, if we concede,
And laying down all that we know,
That’s when we can begin to grow.

If the Holy Spirit leads
Each one who yields,
Each one who heeds,
He will teach us all the same.
Glory to His holy Name!
Let us follow as He leads us,
For in Him, we are agreed.
All our own ways, now disclaim.
Glory to His Holy name.

So don’t resist Him when He leads
For He knows of all your needs.
He wants to fill you today.
He leads you in His holy way.
He leads you to His Word with prayer
To find a pleasant respite there,
Our theories are of little use,
But He reveals His holy Truth.

If the Holy Spirit leads
Each one who yields,
Each one who heeds,
He will teach us all the same.
Glory to His holy Name!
Let us follow as He leads us,
For in Him, we are agreed.
All our own ways, now disclaim.
Glory to His Holy name.

The Spirit leads if we obey;
On resistance, goes away.
Christian, have you heard His voice,
But made, instead, a different choice?
As Baalim, did the Spirit show?
But, when you spurned Him, bid you, “Go!”
You can repent and turn around.
But seek Him while He may be found.

If the Holy Spirit leads
Each one who yields,
Each one who heeds,
He will teach us all the same.
Glory to His holy Name!
Let us follow as He leads us,
For in Him, we are agreed.
All our own ways, now disclaim.
Glory to His Holy name.

So, if the Holy Spirit leads
He moves in total unity.
Sent by self? It is in vain,
Or sent by men? Where is the gain?
And God set the apostles for
A sure foundation and what’s more,
The doctrine is revealed to them
Just as the Scripture does proclaim.

If the Holy Spirit leads
Each one who yields,
Each one who heeds,
He will teach us all the same.
Glory to His holy Name!
Let us follow as He leads us,
For in Him, we are agreed.
All our own ways, now disclaim.
Glory to His Holy name.

So many ran who were not sent,
And God’s ways they broke or bent,
Saying what folks love to hear,
And drawing those with itching ears.
The Spirit tells you how you need
True apostles who will lead,
And if you yield, He will reveal.
The Lord will show you what is real.

If the Holy Spirit leads
Each one who yields,
Each one who heeds,
He will teach us all the same.
Glory to His holy Name!
Let us follow as He leads us,
For in Him, we are agreed.
All our own ways, now disclaim.
Glory to His Holy name.

So Count your education loss.
Leave it hanging on the cross.
Seek the Lord with all your might,
And let Him bring His Word to light.
For bread, He won’t give you a stone,
Nor snake for fish unto His own.
He is the one whom you can trust.
He is the good and kind and just.

If the Holy Spirit leads
Each one who yields,
Each one who heeds,
He will teach us all the same.
Glory to His holy Name!
Let us follow as He leads us,
For in Him, we are agreed.
All our own ways, now disclaim.
Glory to His Holy name.

Some doctrine, dogma, theory, thought
Seems so valid when it’s not.

If the Holy Spirit leads
Each one who yields,

The Prince of Power

Anyone who continues to ignore God will continue to walk toward the prince of power of the air, Satan. Satan can offer them his leading, teaching, and correcting. Satan is a liar and the father of all lies. He can grant them success for a while, but he will control their minds.

Following Satan doesn’t always happen by means like Ouija boards, tarot cards, psychics, or astrology. Many gateways exist. Every route other than Jesus Christ will eventually lead to Satan and his demonic host. If you don’t direct your mind toward Christ, your mind will drift toward Satan. Demons can be extremely subtle as they try to influence you. Sometimes, demons are out in the open and obvious. Some methods of demonic influence can seem scientific or fun. Satan can cloak himself in light. Demons can seem good and spiritual. They may even say they have a message from Christ. At other times, demons quietly make suggestions into your mind. You might say, “Where did that thought come from?” It’s not your fault if a bird lands on your head, but don’t let it make a nest.

If you sincerely want the truth, God will expose these demonic beings. He’ll show you that they’re bringing spirituality without Christ.

If My people would just know and understand

If My people would just know and understand
All the power and authority I’ve put into their hand!
Even powers of darkness must obey at their command.
If My people would just know and understand!

Then every sickness would be healed,
And every problem would be solved.
The Church would come together in unity,
And as one Holy Body it would stand.

If My people would just know and understand
All the power and authority I’ve put into their hand!
All of my creation must obey at their command,
If My people would just know and understand!

And every problem would be solved.
The Church would come together in unity,

Even without the Light of Christ, the brute-beast mind can process thought in amazing ways.

Even without the Light of Christ, the brute-beast mind can process thought in amazing ways. The brute-beast mind has no access to truth without Christ. Without Christ, anything that conflicts with your current preconceived ideas feels like a lie. It feels crazy. Even the truth feels crazy. For instance, when you hear a claim, you immediately compare the claim to your worldview, your inner fake-reality. That fake reality contains all your memories of perceptions of experiences and observations. These aren’t your memories of experiences and observations. They are memories of your perceptions. Perceptions aren’t reliable. You can’t avoid having a bias that works as a lens as you go through any experience or observe anything. No one is objective. Some of your perceptions are more accurate than others.

You compare any new perception to the memories of previous perceptions in your worldview. Your mind makes these comparisons without trying. And your mind works at lightning speed. Most often, you aren’t even aware of these comparisons. You filter out what doesn’t fit in your worldview. That means you filter out parts of reality. Sometimes, you make decisions based on the emotions that come out of this inner processing. You don’t even know why you’re choosing one answer over another. Sometimes, you think through a structured decision-making process. However, you’re still comparing opinions to reality unless Christ reveals the answer to you.

The Brute Beast

But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children. ~ 2 Peter 2:12-14

These are people who operate like brute beasts in that they depend on their own failed reasoning and their natural senses to survive. In the same way animals learn what works and doesn’t work, these people can experiment and learn what works. However, the truth escapes them. They may teach physics or geography at the university. They may run a cash register in a gas station. However, they don’t have access to the truth. They operate based on pragmatism.

But these rail at whatsoever things they know not: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed. ~ Jude 1:10

Other versions use the word “instinct.” It seems God has given humanity some basic instincts just like animals have instincts. Without the Holy Spirit and the truth that flows from God, they can’t understand spiritual things. They can’t understand the truth about material things. However, there are things they understand naturally. They can find out what works and doesn’t work. For instance, they can do science. They can function in a career. They can grumble, complain, do what they desire, boast, flatter, and gain advantage. They are skilled in doing evil.

These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage. But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of your Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit. ~ Jude 1:16-19

These are sensual persons. They depend on their senses to guide them rather than the Holy Spirit. Every one of these verses is referring to people inside the church. These are Christians. These verses also apply to unbelievers. However, God is talking about those inside the church who are lacking the Holy Spirit.

If I Clothe The Lilly

If I Clothe The Lilly

If I clothe the lilly,
Why worry what you’ll wear?
If I feed the lonely sparrow,
How much more for you do I care?
If I part death’s chilly waters,
Let you walk on Holy ground,
Know ye not, I shall perfect you as I am?

If while in the fire I’m with you,
Why hold on to the dross?
If I call you to higher places,
Why drag along that old cross?
If I’ve never failed nor faltered,
Why doubt the truth you’ve found?
Know ye not, I shall perfect you as I am?

God gives every person truth to give them a chance to seek Him and find Him. God wants fellowship with every person. God is love. As love, God must give every person every opportunity. He loves us all.

When ungodly thinkers don’t acknowledge God and thank Him for the amazing gift of truth, the ungodly thinkers lose the blessing of this truth. They don’t acknowledge God as the Source of the truth, so they file away the truth and put it in with all the nonsense that flows from their deceitful and desperately wicked human minds. Lies and foolishness come out of their wicked and deceitful minds. Wisdom and truth come from God. They mix truth and wisdom with lies and foolishness and make no difference between them. They attribute God’s wisdom to their own minds and erase all differences between truth and error. As a result, they can’t tell the difference between reality and their imaginations. Sometimes, they act based on righteousness and wisdom. At other times, they act based on wickedness and foolishness. They see no difference. They had the truth, but it did them no good.

Worse yet, if they persist, God turns them over to their own minds completely. At that point, they become like brute beasts.

I’M WALKING WITH JESUS

I’M WALKING WITH JESUS

If I walk with Jesus He’ll lead and He’ll guide.
I don’t have to worry. The Lord will provide.
He’ll live in my praises as I walk along.
I’ll walk with my Jesus and sing His new song.

As I walk with Jesus, His voice becomes clear.
He presence, His leading will conquer all fear.
And though I am weak yet my Jesus is strong.
I’m walking with Jesus and singing this song.

When God speaks, I hear, and He gives me His faith.
His faith lets me enter and yield to His grace.
His grace does His works through me all the day long.
I’m walking with Jesus and singing this song.

I’m walking with Jesus and singing this song.
I walk in His presence and pow’r all day long.
He lives in my praises as I walk along.
I’m walking with Jesus and singing this song.

Since I walk with Jesus my life is a song.
When I’m in His presence He keeps me from wrong.
His Spirit now fills me as I walk along.
I’m walking with Jesus and singing this song.

We’re walking with Jesus and singing this song.
We move as one body. We know we belong.
He’s forming His people who once were all wrong.
We’re walking with Jesus and singing this song.

How Do They Survive?

If those who don’t have truth are doomed to a life without rational thought, how do they survive? Why are so many ungodly people rich or successful? Some get there dishonestly or thought Satanic means, but some are honestly working to be successful. How does that happen? Let’s look into that.

The Logos is the Light

The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world. ~ John 1:9

The true Light is the Logos. He is the utterance of God. And He gives light to every person. You might wonder if God would shed His Light on those who are evil. You might think God only blesses the just.

He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. ~ Matthew 5:45b

However, God blesses both evil and good people. He blesses the righteous and the unrighteous. If God didn’t do this, they wouldn’t last a minute.

The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples made by human hands. Nor is He served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. ~ Acts 17:24-25

God gives them life, breath, and EVERYTHING ELSE. What is “everything else?” It includes material needs and non-material needs. It includes truth.

Wait! I said ungodly thinkers don’t have truth. So, did I lie to you? NO.

God does give them truth. They even know the difference between good and evil by God’s revelation. And they know God exists by God’s revelation. God says He reveals everything to them. He shows them everything humans can know about God and the Godhead.  God gives them what they need to survive. Why would God bother? Let’s go back to Acts 17 for the answer.

God intended that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. ~ Acts 17:27
