Forward from: L. Lin Wood
We are living in extraordinary times. Many are struggling to figure out who to trust and who not to trust? Who speaks truth and who spreads lies? Who is good and who is bad? Who is of sound mind and who is “crazy?”
The enemy will try to deceive you. The enemy will falsely portray the trustworthy as untrustworthy, the truth-giver as a liar, the good person as a bad person, the sound minded as “crazy.”
In reaching a conclusion about a person through the haze of deception, here are some practical tips:
1. Always consider the entire body of a person’s life work. Do some research from reliable sources. Think for yourself.
2. Determine whether a person’s positions are consistent with his or her life’s work? Watch out it there are significant inconsistencies.
3. Use your common sense. Does the accusation make sense? If not, watch out. And always remember that nonsense is nonsense!
4. Analyze the motivation and goals of the accused person. Is that person working for his or her good or for the good of others?
5. Analyze who is taking personal risks in asserting his or her position. The accuser or the accused?
6. Trust your instincts.
7. Today’s world requires the exercise of a high level of discernment. Best direction in exercising discernment comes from God. Pray and ask Jesus who to believe. He knows the answer. Listen and He will tell you.
