Discernment

Clear thinking and discernment in our culture seem to have been pitched out the window.  Have you noticed in conversations with people that it doesn't take long to realize how many have been deceived into the lies that permeate our society, and even the world.

As new creations in the salvation Jesus Christ gave us, we need to think and discern Biblically with all that we see and hear.  Don't just believe what you hear~~~check it out logically and in God's truth, and then take action.  In your sphere of influence share God's truth in whatever the subject matter is.   Your gentle conversations may be what other people need to hear to be set free from deception's web of destruction.

Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord,
so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted
and now being built up in Him and established
in your faith, just as you were instructed,
and overflowing with gratitude.
See to it that no one takes you captive
through philosophy and empty deception,
according to the tradition of men,
according to the elementary principles of the world,
rather than according to Christ.
Colossians 2:6-8
