Fact Check

Over the past decade or so, websites have popped up that are dedicated to fact-checking the truth of a news story or political statement. At sites like factcheck.org or Snopes, you can verify whether something you’ve read is true. These sites remind us that our world is filled with deception. They also give us an illustration of what it should look like to study God’s Word: whenever you hear something you aren’t sure about, you can go to a website to check its accuracy. When they need wisdom for what to do or guidance on how to handle a situation, Christians go to Scripture to find what they need and discover how important Jesus is to their life.
