How to Recognize False Teaching Through Spiritual Discernment

Spiritual discernment means being able to know the difference between truth and error, good and evil, and sound teaching and false teaching.

God Is Loving, But He Does Not Approve of Evil

One of the greatest truths in Scripture is that God is loving, gracious, merciful, kind, and patient. His love reaches beyond what we can fully comprehend.

One of Satan’s Greatest Deceptions 

One of Satan’s greatest tricks is convincing people that he is not real, that sin is not serious, and that we can decide right and wrong for ourselves without God.

Biblical View of Justice, Hypocrisy, and Politics Today

It is hard not to see the hypocrisy in justice and politics today. People often demand fairness when it helps their side, but they make excuses when their own side does wrong.
