Many commonly held "beliefs" in today's world are based on ficiton mixed with fact, or error that is disguised with some "truth." It is the way of this world. God is truth. His Word is truth, and He called us to be "set apart" by truth (not by a mixture of truth and error). This sermon explores the concept of fact and fiction, truth and error, and good and evil, and how the true Christian can and will discern the difference.
