People don’t want to discern today because they don’t want to say anybody’s wrong “for god so loved the world It makes people feel bad

This is the residual effect of the psychological movement in the church
This is a big, big problem and we must be discerning.
Glad to be back in chapel again with you all this morning Talking about the issue of discernment Just in case you wondered, a little more detail about this, i wrote a book a few years ago called reckless faith Deals with a lot of the issues regarding discernment.
In its simplest definition, discernment is nothing more than the ability to decide between truth and error, right and wrong Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?’” what jesus said to them was interesting He said, “you’re religious authorities, you’re the religious elite And frankly, your primitive way of telling the weather is better than your spiritual discernment.” that’s what he’s saying.
When solomon was given the unbelievably wonderful privilege of receiving from god anything he asked, he asked for the best thing
And what he got was an immense capability to understand this world, how animals act, how plants act, how nations act, how men and women act, and he had a vast capability to discern on the human. Even with your primitive, limited knowledge of weather, it far exceeds your spiritual discernment.” So how can we discern those who are god’s true ministers and shepherds We need to appeal to a higher standard in order to know the defining characteristics of a true man of god
John macarthur does exactly that in his sermon, “ 4 marks of the man of god.” So let’s start with the negative aspect of it and maybe ask the question, what is a fool And the definition is obvious to everyone We can use synonyms to explain the definition of fool
We think of it as someone who is ignorant
That is, someone who doesn’t know truth, doesn’t know reality We can think of a fool as someone who is irresponsible, who is indifferent to the normal. This series was first published in june, 2016 “god is love” (1 john 4:8)
That’s a transcendent thought that finds its ultimate expression in the cross of christ The most famous verse in the bible confirms that god’s love was the motive for sending christ
