The Trustworthiness Test

from The Weekly Word from Burns · host Burns Church

If the Devil is the "Father of Lies," then discernment is the Christian's most essential survival skill. But how do you hone it? In this episode, we move beyond the "don't lie" Sunday School lesson and tackle the harder question: How do we keep from getting duped? Whether you’re evaluating a preacher, a podcast host, or a political candidate, these 10 biblical markers provide a roadmap for finding the truth: The Ripple Test: What does this person leave in their wake? The Pressure Test: What comes out when they are squeezed? The Profit Test: Who actually stands to gain from their message? ...and 7 more essential audits for the modern world. Plus, we look at the only person in history who passes every single test with flying colors.
