When you watch the evening news or scroll through the headlines on your smartphone, it's likely you feel frustrated or even defeated.

The political gridlock, the moral confusion, the unbridled bitterness, it's demoralizing.

Well today on Insight for Living, Chuck Swindall reminds us that while our culture is shifting

every day, the timeless wisdom of the Bible never does.

And so we're turning to a calming passage in Revelation 22 that gives us

Compelling words for a confused culture.

Back in the 20th century,

we saw the rise of a generation that not only rejected much of

what their elders held to be true but even began to doubt the existence of truth

many sociologists have called relativism, or even more recently post-modernism.

That is the belief that truth should be defined as merely the commonly held beliefs of a particular culture or society, and it may or may not be

valid for any other culture or any other society.

Stop and think about that.

Through the media and academia and other aspects of our culture,

this idea continues to shape the thinking of many if not most people living in the 21st century,

whether they realize that or not.
