What is Focus on the Family's
The Truth Project®?
In a recent study, the Barna Research Group revealed a stunning
statistic that continues to reverberate throughout the evangelical
world. Only 9 percent
of professing Christians have a biblical worldview.1
Because of this, today's believers live very similarly to
non-believers. A personal sense of significance is rarely
experienced, we spend our money and
time on things that fail to satisfy and we begin to wonder what
life's ultimate purpose really is. We are, in short, losing our
bearings as a people and
a nation.
To counter this slide within the body of Christ, we are launching one
of the most ambitious and powerful projects in the history of our
ministry—Focus on
the Family's The Truth Project.
The Truth Project is a DVD-based small group curriculum comprised of
12 one-hour lessons taught by Dr. Del Tackett. This home study is the
starting point
for looking at life from a biblical perspective. Each lesson
discusses in great detail the relevance and importance of living the
Christian worldview in
daily life.
We believe this one project represents the possibility for
exponential change within the body of Christ, as we expect that
thousands will be transformed
by this curriculum. As it has been throughout history, God continues
to call ordinary people to make an eternal difference in our world.
We invite you to be a part of this cultural change by participating
in or leading a small group of your own. Contact us to learn how you can
get involved
in Focus on the Family's The Truth Project!
Lesson 1 - Veritology: What is Truth?
The Truth Project begins by defining truth as "that which corresponds
to reality." This absolute and eternal truth, at the heart of Jesus'
mission on earth,
continues to be the focal point of the Cosmic Battle in our own time.

Lesson 2 - Philosophy and Ethics: Says Who?
Truth is not simply an academic concept. The way we think about truth
has a direct bearing upon the way we live our lives. What's more, our
understanding
of right and wrong is directly dependent on our worldview: is the
universe God's creation or a closed cosmic cube?

Lesson 3 - Anthropology: Who is Man?
The Bible tells us that man was created in God's image but fell from
innocence through sin. Modern psychology, on the other hand, asserts
that man is inherently
good and behaves badly only under the influence of social or
institutional pressure. This lesson explores the implications of both views.

Lesson 4 - Theology: Who is God?
Eternal life, according to Jesus, is knowing God in an intimate,
personal, and relational way. Such knowledge, which is possible only
because of divine
revelation, transforms us from the inside out as we begin to see
ourselves in the light of His majesty and holiness.

Lesson 5 - Science: What is True?
Science, the "systematic study of the natural world," brings to light
innumerable evidences of Intelligent Design. But Darwinian theory
transforms science
from the honest investigation of nature into a vehicle for
propagating a godless philosophy. (Part One)
A careful examination of molecular biology and the fossil record
demonstrates that evolution is not a "proven fact." Meanwhile,
history shows that ideas,
including Darwinism as a social philosophy, have definite
consequences consequences that can turn ugly when God is left out
of the picture. (Part Two)

Lesson 6 - History: Whose Story?
Does the past have an objective actuality and significance? Or does
it, as postmodernist philosophy asserts, exist primarily inside our
heads? This tour
considers the meaning of history as God's story and shows us why
remembering is so important.

Lesson 7 - Sociology: The Divine Imprint
The order we observe in the natural realm is even more apparent in
the social systems God has established: family, church, community,
state, labor, and
the union between God and man. Life is a series of relationships that
flow out of and reflect the Trinitarian nature of the Creator.

Lesson 8 - Unio Mystica: Am I Alone?
Is it possible for the infinite, eternal Creator to dwell within the
heart of an individual? The implications of this great mystery, which
represents the
very core of the Christian faith, are explored at length in this
examination of the most intimate of the social spheres.

Lesson 9 - The State: Whose Law?
Of all the social spheres, the state, to which God grants the power
of the sword for the punishment of evil and the preservation of the
good, has the greatest
potential to go awry if it oversteps its authority. The civil
magistrate must always remember his place under the sovereignty of
God otherwise, havoc
will ensue.

Lesson 10 - The American Experiment: Stepping Stones
America is unique in the history of the world. On these shores a
people holding to a biblical worldview have had an opportunity to set
up a system of government
designed to keep the state within its divinely ordained boundaries.
Tour #10 follows the history of this experiment and explores what
happens to freedom
when God is forgotten.

Lesson 11 - Labor: Created to Create
Contrary to a great deal of contemporary popular opinion, work is not
a "curse." God Himself is active and creative, and He calls man to
share in the joy
of His activity and creativity. Labor, economics, media, and the
creative arts all have a role to play in magnifying the glory of the Creator.

Lesson 12 - Community and Involvement: God Cares, do I?
The ethical law and the meaning of the Christian life are summed up
in the commandment to love God and one's neighbor. This command is
the source of the
believer's motivation for self-sacrificial service to the needy and
their personal involvement in our culture.
