Of course, we know that the overarching story is God’s story. We can understand history because history is just that: His story. As we often point out, persons grapple with basically four ultimate questions: a) where do I come from; b) why am I here; c) how do I act in light of why I am here; and d) what happens when I die? We must be able to reduce postmodern thought to non-sense, and then, make sense out of the reality people actually experience. As we observe the world around us and note that we actually communicate with one another with words that have meaning, as we go about our everyday lives basing actions and decisions on laws of logic, as we know that somehow, someway we matter, as we note order in our world, as we embrace moral standards of any kind, we actually begin to realize that the Christian worldview alone makes sense out of our experience.

When confronting postmodernists, because God has put a brain in their heads and has given them the ability to think His thoughts after Him, that is, the ability to think rationally about Him, His world, and themselves, with the Apostle Paul, we can confidently answer those ultimate questions. God created us; we exist to glorify God; we live in light of His revealed will; and if we embrace Christ by faith, when we die, we will be with Him forever. Now that’s something that makes sense!
