Discernment

The quote above by Charles Spurgeon is how we define the spiritual gift of discernment, for even Satan knows the Word of God, how to twist and exploit our ignorance.

In this age of social media influencers and increased access to information and statements that people make, discernment resources haven’t kept up with changing times and new faces. For there are numerous other false teachers than Joel Osteen and Joyce Meyers. And if you are on this website, you probably already know they are false teachers. We cannot be afraid of only tackling whether or not televangelists are false teachers. Another thing we want to do differently than other discernment websites is rate the danger a specific teacher poses on a scale.
