Truth is Relative
Lord,
What about all the other religions in the world. Sometimes I think we are all really worshiping you and we just choose different expressions of a our faith, making it more culturally relevant. I know that this approach makes truth very relevant. What is true for me is not always true for you... It’s like when I was growing up and my friends would tell me, “ We’re glad this Christian thing is working for you, Sarah, but don’t push it on us.” It would frustrate me so much. The very fact that this “Christian thing” worked for me, mean it had to work for them to if they would receive it. If it didn’t work for them then it wasn’t really working for me. These days I question if it ever really did work. I used to hate the expression “ it doesn’t matter what you believe as long as you believe something,” but maybe I am just the by product of a narrow minded church. I am not really sure, at all. If you are real, please help me believe. Amen.
