Are Your Feelings Your Foundation?
Not everything can be true at the same time, yet that’s exactly what many thoughtful people now assume about religion. After meeting a sharp young professional who believes all faiths point to the same God, we slow down and ask what that view does to real truth, real conviction, and real Christian hope.
Working through 2 Peter 1:12–21, we follow Peter’s urgent instinct to remind believers before he dies. People pass from the scene, leaders change, and even our best memories distort and drift, but the Word of God endures. We talk about why the church cannot be built on personalities, traditions of dead men, or spiritual hype. A vibrant faith is not fueled by subjective experience alone; it’s anchored in authoritative Scripture that can be tested, trusted, and obeyed.
We also explore Peter’s reference to the Mount of Transfiguration and why it matters for biblical authority, Christian discipleship, and end-times hope. Peter was an eyewitness of Christ’s majesty, yet he still points us to the prophetic Word confirmed, a light shining in a dark place. That becomes a direct rebuke to “cunningly devised fables” and a steady answer to modern relativism and false teachers.
