You can't construct an "ought" if you don't know what "is".   Ravi Zacharias on moral relativism / atheism.
Basically,  there is no scientific or humanistic or materialistic basis for making absolute moral statements.  This has two related outcomes.

1) Atheists and relativists making moral statements are undercut by their own relativism

2) Theists have the benefit of moral absolutes (ex.  rape is wrong) that shows there is a moral law and that moral law comes from somewhere.


Proverbs 1:7   Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Only fools despise wisdom and knowledge.

Romans 2:1-3
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. ² Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Remain Humble in Service in the Body of Christ

 ³ For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
