But I learned we must discern the language used to describe the narrative. \u201cInspired by\u201d differs from \u201cBased on.\u201d A story developed from inspiration doesn\u2019t reflect the whole truth, whereas one based on actual events tells the facts. People take many liberties with inspiration, knowing that changes what I think of the movie, not believing everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Integrity begins with us. As Christ\u2019s followers, honoring Jesus means telling the truth, taking responsibility for our actions, and setting an example of righteous lips. Expecting honesty from others but not putting the same expectations on ourselves doesn\u2019t serve Christ or anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Live a life based on truth; search for the facts before believing the narrative. Understand, in today\u2019s world; people care more about the story than they do the truth. We shouldn\u2019t believe everything we hear.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/shop.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1-300x39.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lord, forgive us for falling for false tales.
