When you consider the character of Almighty God, truth is one of his immutable characteristics. Yet, when we examine the world around us - we are living in what is considered the 'Post-Truth' era. A time in which facts and objectivity matter less than emotion and personal belief. This has led to the rise of 'personal truth', and 'living ones truth', and a number of issues which have come from 'everyone doing that which is right in their own eyes'. Discerning what is true is even more important today in an era of fake news, bias, deep fakes, fact-checkers, and AI. How can we grow in discernment? How can we determine what is true and what is not?
