Christianity as the Absolute Authority in a Culture of Individualism

Western culture has been greatly influenced because of Christianity. However, now, unfortunately, the Western culture is starting to affect and influence the church and Christianity in a bad way. I want to talk about some of these things that we end up seeing.

Now, when we look at Westernized culture, you see that it is very individualistic. And that has been something that has been viewed as a good thing. However, what you end up seeing now, and one of the ways that the culture is now affecting the church, is the fact that nowadays we see that individualistic nature so much so that people do not want God or anyone else telling them what to do.

Why is it that so many people are against Christianity? Because within Christianity, it is the one absolute authority that says God has spoken, and therefore we must obey. And in a culture where no one wants to obey, where everyone wants to question authority, where everybody thinks that they should be entitled to whatever they think is right, and therefore it should be right, well, that flies in the face of an absolute standard of right and wrong.

Many people in our culture do not like the Bible, and more specifically, God, because He says what should and should not be done. And when He says it, He's the final authority. Therefore, they want to remove that from culture.

They want to remove God from culture completely so that they can feel justified in doing whatever they want to do, even though they know it is wrong to do.
