The Modern Self

Summary

The sermon explores Jude 4 and its relevance to modern cultural shifts, emphasizing the conflict between the biblical call to deny self and the modern elevation of self as ultimate authority. It highlights the contrast between traditional views of identity rooted in God's order and the modern self-centered view that prioritizes individual desires and feelings. The preacher warns of the cultural revolution that rejects external authority, leading to ethical and societal upheaval, and calls believers to remain grounded in the authentic Word of God. The message draws heavily on Karl Truman's book 'The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self' to explain these cultural dynamics.
