Contending for the Word

How to Cultivate Biblical Discernment in a Deceptive Age


Listen Later

All throughout August, we've been in the series Discerning the Times – Answering Today's Most Urgent Questions. We've looked at progressive Christianity, deconstruction, shallow worship, mystical psychology, and the spiritual confusion of our age. In this closing episode, Dave Jenkins unpacks how to cultivate biblical discernment in a deceptive age. Discernment isn't optional for Christians—it's essential for walking faithfully with Christ in a world of lies. You'll Learn: Why discernment matters (Hebrews 5:14; Ephesians 4:14). What biblical discernment is (1 Thessalonians 5:21–22). A practical roadmap for cultivating discernment: Scripture, the local church, prayer, humility, testing everything, and Christ-centered living. Encouragement to walk in truth with confidence in Jesus. 📖 Key Scriptures: Hebrews 5:14, Ephesians 4:14, 1 Thessalonians 5:21–22, 2 Timothy 3:16–17, James 1:5, Colossians 2:6–7, John 17:17.
