What's true anymore? In a world where AI can produce deepfakes and any video can be manipulated, how do you know what the truth is? I remember when photoshopping people for magazine covers was big news. Now you're not even sure if people are real or computer generated.
Paul tells us to start with the belt of truth. The belt holds everything together, just as the truth does, and we need it in the world today. It's not all we have, but if we don't start with the truth, then we can get lost pretty quickly. Truth matters -- this is why we do the research, read widely, and discover for ourselves whether the Gospel is true. If it is true, then it matters more than anything else. Given that it's been studied more than any other book in human history, and everyone has been looking to know if it is true, I believe that it is true, but everyone should look at the evidence and decide for themselves if they think it is true. Ask big questions of the Bible -- people have been doing so for 2,000 years, and the answers have always, in my opinion, stood up.
So let us start with the truth, and base everything on that.
