In today’s cultural landscape, “woke” ideology often promotes ideas completely at odds with biblical values. The Bible teaches absolute truths grounded in God’s character, emphasizing the sanctity of life, the importance of family and the moral order established by divine commandments. Here are critical areas where biblical standards contrast with modern ideological trends:
1. Sanctity of life. The Bible affirms the sanctity of life from conception to natural death (Ps. 139:13-16). This stands against those ideologies that promote abortion or euthanasia as acceptable norms.

2. Family and marriage. Biblical principles define marriage as a covenant between only one man and one woman (Gen. 2:24, Matt. 19:4-6). This contrasts with ideologies that seek to redefine traditional marriage and family structures.
3. Moral absolutes. The Bible teaches clear moral absolutes, distinguishing right from wrong based on God’s character and commandments (Ex. 20:1-17). In contrast, some modern ideologies promote moral relativism, where truth is both subjective and individualistic.
4. Justice and mercy. Though the Bible calls for justice, it also emphasizes mercy, forgiveness and redemption (Mic. 6:8, Matt. 5:7). This differs from ideologies that may prioritize mandated retribution or cancel culture over forgiveness and reconciliation.
America’s Founding Principles
America’s founding principles are deeply rooted in biblical values and righteousness. The Declaration of Independence says all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights. The Founding Fathers drew heavily from biblical teachings to establish a nation built on the values of justice, liberty and moral integrity.
