The issue of “discernment” is one of vital importance to the Christian life –given the range of competing voices spoken both inside and outside the Church. What has made this all the more urgent, is the ease with which we can access any number of sermons and teachings online. But how would we know whether these are ‘spiritually safe’ or not?
Sadly, a lot of what passes for biblical teaching and preaching in the Church today bears little resemblance to the same spoken in the early Church. The rise in celebrity Christianity and the demand for entertaining and soothing messages promising prosperity and success, has often blurred the truth of the Gospel and has failed to produce disciples whose focus is Christ.
A barrier to accurately discerning what is biblically truthful is our own human tendency to gravitate towards teaching and preaching we find most appealing. However, in the process, often we have neglected to evaluate what we have heard along scriptural lines. It might also be that we don’t know how to do this.
Jesus and His apostles have already warned us in advance of the tidal rise of false teachers and prophets during these last days who would contend for what is true. To this end, they have provided us with vital teaching for how to identify these individuals—so we might walk in truth and close our ears to every counterfeit voice.
In his teaching, Jeremy will provide us with insights and keys for how we might identify error within the Church, as well as helping us to grow in spiritual discernment and biblical wisdom during these perilous times.
