This Sunday

Who do you go to for discernment? We often seek people of wisdom when making large or small life decisions. We go to people of knowledge when we get into realms outside of our understanding. When we speak of a person of discernment, they understand the difference between right and wrong, the voice of the Shepherd and the voice of a false prophet, the Truth of Christ and the twisted words of self-seeking individuals. As with our other gifts, not everyone receives this gift: so, how and when is it used in the life of the church? How is it weighed and tested? Why is it valuable to seek a person with such a gift?
