1. What is Postmodernism?
The development of Modernism from Greek philosophy
to the Enlightenment - human reason aided by
scientific exploration the basis for absolute truth -
Darwinism and the denial of a Creator God - World
Wars and ruthless dictatorship - Postmodernism born
out of disillusionment as Modernism holds no real
answers.
Postmodernism essentially scepticism, proposes the
idea that truth cannot be known. The essential
elements of Postmodernism:
a) Relativism and pluralism
b) Consumerism
c) Political correctness
2. How Postmodernism affects our society.
Some examples: in personal conversation; moral
principles; political truthfulness.
Postmodernism which at first affected the arts in
breaking all the norms of beauty and order now
further infiltrates many aspects of our society.
3. Our response to Postmodernism.
It's not new but a way of justifying rebellion
against God - it's an absurd contradiction and its
response to moral questions and true/false religion
wholly inconsistent - Christians must confront the
absurdity of it on every hand as it makes inroads
into the family, the state and the church.

Times' referred to in the above address.
Fascinating comparison What's really fascinating is to compare this presentation to the American pastor Duane Farley's series on postmodernism, because the two sides of the ocean "deconstruct" postmodernism in two radically different ways. That's what postmodernism is about, different perspectives, and the two approaches to it illustrate this graphically. (If you're new to postmodernism, Pastor Dominic Smart also has a great primer on sermonaudio.)

A Major Demonic Deception And Delusion In Our Day This sermon contains excellent insights into the Devil's methodology for the deception of modern (Humanistic) man, societies and even "churches." Also included is the biblical remedy to these specific demonic lies. To further lay the axe at the root (Matthew 3:10) of Postmodern and Humanistic folly and heresy, as it manifests itself in individuals, families, churches and the state (civil government, morality and law), see the free MP3 "The First Commandment: Exposing the Idolatry of Arminianism, Roman Catholicism, Cults, Judaism, Islam, Humanism, Materialism, etc.," at http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=9260511205 .
