An Apology from Us + Using Discernment

First and foremost we would like to issue an apology. We have had the very best intentions with this show and have recommended some resources in previous episodes that we felt could be helpful to you but we have since learned that some may not be biblically sound and therefore we sincerely apologize for some of those recommendations. Unfortunately, the “Christian industry” is full of false teaching and the Bible warns us about this. Just because something may be called a Christian resource or is found in the Christian section of a bookstore, doesn’t mean it’s biblically sound. Knowing what we know now (after researching and careful study of God’s Word), we wouldn’t want to lead anyone to any resource or teacher that isn’t biblically sound. In this episode we are also discussing discernment. On the whole, discernment means simply, the ability to judge well. However, Christian or spiritual discernment is more in depth. Spiritual discernment is a decision making process in which an individual makes a discovery that can lead to future action. Please note, discernment is a spiritual gift that is spoken about in the Bible and not everyone has that gift, the GIFT of discernment. However, that is different from USING discernment, which is something we all can do. There is a lot of misinformation out there so that’s why it’s so important that we know the Truth by being in our Bible every day. It is our job as Christ followers to know the Truth and to use discernment to decipher info we’re given and decide if it’s aligned with God’s Word. We pray that the info we share in this episode is edifying to you and that it helps you to grow in God’s Word. Scriptures referenced in this episode: 1 Corinthians 12:8-10; Hebrews 4:12; 1 John 4:1
