If, as Paul says, "the church of the living God [is] the pillar and foundation of the truth" (1 Timothy 3:15), then no standard of truth exists outside of Christianity, and it is our responsibility to be "the pillar and foundation of the truth" in a society that is hostile to the truth of God.

Salvation is wholly the work of God, so that no one may boast of his works or his good sense in choosing Christ and believing the gospel (John 15:16; Ephesians 2:8).

In the areas of science, politics, parenting, marriage, education, and all other areas of thought and life the world embraces ideas that are hostile to Christianity.
