Pragmatism

Pragmatism defines truth as “what works” for man and the state, rejecting absolute truth and God’s revealed Word. Rooted in thinkers like Nietzsche and Dewey, it allows lying and dismisses Christianity as anti-democratic. This philosophy has deeply influenced the modern church, shifting preaching from systematic Biblical teaching to topical, entertaining messages aimed at pleasing congregations. As a result, church members are largely ignorant of doctrine, focusing on what God can do for them rather than God Himself. Pragmatism reduces the triune God to a resource for personal gain rather than the sovereign Lord to be served. The church must recognize this and return to a God-centered faith.
