Stability and Reference for College Students – Introduction
This is the first in a series of articles providing college students the opportunity to actually be and feel secure. How? By providing reference points in life through knowledge about college life and the outside world, specifically about what is right and wrong and what is true and false. It is called absolutism. This is the exact opposite of relativism – the theory that truth, moral values and esthetic values, especially referencing right and wrong, are not absolute, but are subject to the judgments of individuals or cultures and the circumstances involved. In the words of one research paper from Free Research Papers.Com, these are two extreme ethical approaches to reality. However, this website is devoted to only one reality – the one we all live in and experience everyday, including the God given sense about right, wrong, true and false.
You may presently be attending one of the best colleges, or the one of the best online colleges in the world, but if you have comments, questions, opinions or ideas on this or any other article, they are most welcome and appreciated. Debate and dialog, done with civility, is good and helpful. However, despite the liberal bias of many (but certainly not all) college professors throughout the U.S. and the world, this website will have a decidedly Christian bias or viewpoint. Submitting to the highest of all authorities, Jesus Christ Himself and His Word, there actually is no debate required, other than for the purpose of intellectual discussion. This is based on the fact that His Word, The Holy Bible, has no need of defense or defending Itself. This website has only one purpose; and that is to declare the God given sense about right, wrong, true and false.
There is a risk, however, that some readers will immediately be turned off at the mere mention of Jesus Christ and the Bible. Therefore, quoting scripture and preaching will be kept to a minimum, but not eliminated or prohibited. This will be done in an attempt to attract the widest readership possible. People of all faiths and beliefs are welcome and encouraged to participate – Moslems, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, atheists and agnostics and others.
So if you are a new college freshman, or if you are a retired college professor, you will find this website at least interesting and at most intriguing and potentially life changing.
Have you ever had someone come up to you and start talking about God or religion and wonder, “What do they really want? What is their motivation? What do they expect me to do?” Actually, that should never happen. If someone has a potentially life changing message, it should be simple, clear and based on solid facts and experienced reality. And it should not take more than three to five minutes to fully explain.
Therefore, the next article will do just that. Right up front you will be given the opportunity to know and experience the Way, the Truth and the Life. After that is presented and declared, all else is merely men’s and women’s words and dialog. However, here it has a purpose – to expose as many people as possible to the Truth as an absolute, but especially for the college student searching for stability and reference points in life.
