Do: By acting on what we learn, we make God’s word come alive. Do the following activity this week.
Pay attention to the media you absorb this week. Take time to absorb media with an opposing viewpoint. How much of what you take in is truth, and how much is perspective? Are there things you hold to be true that may not be?
