Learning comes from a quest for truth

Allan Bloom in his book The Closing of the American Mind, concludes that the average student attending college or university today has determined that everything is relative and there is no truth. In such an environment, there is no longer a search for truth. In the absence of searching, there can be no real learning, and therefore we are witnessing the gradual closing of the American Mind. The acceptance that there can be no truth and the continued process of searching for how truth can be understood and applied is at the heart of the company where I work.

There is a principle which allows us to confront life and it's problems and challenges and even our failures with the reassurance that our starting point never changes and provides a reason and a hope for today and the future.

Our company first objective is to Honor God in in all we do. But Andy you say, "in a diverse pluralistic world with people holding different views and beliefs this objective must surely offend some people."

The issue of whether there is a God is not something that we need to avoid for shy away from. People have a choice as to whether they will respond to God, ignore him, or reject his existence. But no one should seek to hide the possibility of God or fail to examine the result when one begins with God in the learning process. In a pluralistic society, there is room for God and for people who put the value of others ahead of their own self-interests or gratification. God is in the workplace, the Church, the football field with Tim Tebow, and everywhere else.
