The Truth Project: The Search of Truth

1287 Words3 Pages

Why do we believe what we believe? This question is rarely asked of anyone directly. We live in a culture where the “why” is superseded by the “what”. “What do you believe?” has always been a popular topic for discussion. However, when a believer is no longer faced with the ‘what’ and instead challenged by a ‘why,’ lines begin to blur and minds start to blank. What can we possibly offer in response and from where can we derive our answers? Isaiah 6 gives us the solution: we must gaze into the face of God.

Nobody likes to discover that they have been lied to, and yet that is precisely what history has done. It has been rewritten and created new philosophies for us to believe. As Americans, we tend to have one of two views concerning our Founders. We either believe they were wholly pagans or entirely saints- no in between. I challenge that theory with one of my own: if our Founding Fathers were all pagans, why would the character and the decrees of God have been placed so heavily into our Constitution? In contrast, if they were saints, what good would their version of government do when they themselves had no realistic grasp on human nature?
