#412: "Truth Be Told" by Matthew West

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>There's a shortage of truth in the world today. Of course, the definition of truth seems to be up for grabs for some, but today we're talking about sincerity in action without pretense. Matthew West sings about this in his song "Truth Be Told." Jesus teaches about it in the Gospel of Matthew.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"center","id":7226,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"media"} --></p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><a href= "https://www.michellenezat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Matthew-23_26-square.png"> <img class="wp-image-7226" src= "https://www.michellenezat.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Matthew-23_26-square.png" alt="" /></a></figure> </div> <p><!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Spend some time this week examining the words of Jesus with an open heart.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>In this episode I discuss:</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --></p> <ul> <li>Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: <ul> <li>Consider the historical background</li> <li>Follow the cross-references</li> <li>Utilize a trusted outside resource (like a commentary or Study Bible)</li> <li>Read in context</li> <li>Summarize the text in your own words</li> <li>Ask questions of the text</li> <li>Remember, the people in the Bible were real</li> </ul> </li> <li>The 30 Day Music Challenge - <a href= "https://www.michellenezat.com/30daychallenge">ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE HERE</a></li> <li>Matthew West's story behind the song - <a href= "https://youtu.be/6oohWbTCxrA">YouTube Video</a></li> <li>The book Matthew West wrote that he mentioned in the video - <a href="https://amzn.to/36sxPmh">"Hello My Name Is" by Matthew West</a></li> <li>The verse in Isaiah Matthew West refers to in the video - Isaiah 29:13</li> <li>How Jesus uses two metaphors to talk about what He thinks of being clean, put together, and FINE only on the outside - Matthew 23:27-
