Romans 1:25 says, “They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served the created things rather than the Creator.” In our culture today, absolute truth is being replaced by moral relativism, especially on our college campuses.

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson interviews author and speaker, Dr. Everett Piper, about the consequences our culture is experiencing as many fall victim to the deception being disseminated throughout society today.

They want us to be disciples of the government and they want us to learn to live according to the rules that those systems really set up for us.

Without biblical truth, there is no compass to guide us in the way we are to live.

In a culture that wants to base facts on feelings, now is the time for Christians to “speak truth in love” to those around us.
