Have you ever played the game of telephone where the message starts out one way, but by the time it reaches the last person, it’s completely different?

That happened in our community recently. A car accident, two dogs, and a flurry of updates spread across social media. Each person added their own version, and before long, the story had changed.

And that’s exactly what can happen with our faith stories, too.

In today’s Anchor Point, Devin Almonte explores:

• How easily truth can twist when we’re not close to the original source
• Why it matters to go back to what really happened—especially in Scripture
• How to recognize when we’ve added or subtracted from God’s Word
• What “Did God really say?” still sounds like today

Scripture (NIV):

Genesis 3:1 – “Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, ‘Did God really say, “You must not eat from any tree in the garden”?’”
