What Will We Be Studying?

Recognizing right from wrong, good from evil, God’s way apart from man’s way can be challenging. We need the ability to see error wherever it is, no matter what it hides behind. Our need for spiritual discernment is critical-especially when we consider the amount of material thrown in our direction every day. The only way to get this kind of discernment is by being a child of God who desires it, seeks after it, prays for it, and studies the only source that provides a basis for it: God's Word.

The purpose of this conference is to teach the tools that will help you grow into a mature, spiritually discerning woman of God (Hebrews 5:14). We need to test or measure the information we are bombarded with each day for accuracy. God's standard for truth is the only perfect standard worthy of our time and adequate for the task. Giving us a clear contrast between truth and error, the good and the better and the better and the best.

               Throughout this conference we will be depending on God’s Word to guide us as we learn to correctly weigh the morals and values of individuals, groups, and movements of our day.

Please join us for the “Discerning Hearts in a Deceptive World” Women’s Conference.

Discerning the Materials Which Influence Us; How to Choose Wisely

Richard Baxter said it well:

“Be careful how you spend your time: Spend your time in nothing in which you know must be repented of. ”

When the world’s system is deluging Christ’s church with books, podcasts, and music that claim to aid us in our spiritual growth, how do we know the choices we are making truly align with God’s Word? Learn how to find, screen, and evaluate material to learn if it will bring edification to your soul or toss you about.

Discernment in our Daily Lives

What do you think of when you think of discernment?  Is it only for pastors or teachers? Is it intimidating or does it make you feel judgmental?  All believers should desire to grow in spiritual discernment because it is part of our spiritual growth and it will help us to “approve what is excellent and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ”. Phil 1:10. Let’s look at some practical ways to develop discernment in our daily lives and keep watch over our heart and ways.
