The Death of Discernment in the Last Days

Mike Gendron is an evangelist with Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries. This message was recorded at a Steeling the Mind Bible Conference.

Mike begins by explaining that, unlike the '60's pop song, what the world needs now is not love, but discernment. Why? Because churches today are proclaiming positive, feel-good messages as though all that matters is belief in the historic figure of Jesus Christ.

What is discernment? Discernment is to separate things at their point of difference; to note how things are distinctively different.

What's at stake? The glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, the sanctity of his church, as well as the purity of the gospel.

Mike teaches a number of principles that allow Christians to prevent false teachers from entering the church. This involves discovering the knowledge of God in order to discern the fear of God, examining ourselves to make certain we are in the faith, knowing and proving what the will of God is by renewing our minds and turning from worldliness to godliness, examining everything carefully, and learning how to identify false servants and preachers.

The importance of these principles takes on even greater significance when Mike details what the church truly is, why discernment is dying, along with the six most prominent attacks of Satan on the church.
