How Is Moral Relativism Relevant Today
Over the years, many Christians have put on blinders, turning their heads while shrinking back with words such as, "What can I possibly do by myself?" rather than uniting together in standing for absolute truths. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote from the Birmingham jail, "A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God."

Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." (Ephesians
