Discernment and Acceptance
Guest (Male): Here's Pastor Mike Fabarez, Bible teacher on Focal Point.
Mike Fabarez: Acceptance is an easy virtue to applaud. It feels good for everyone involved when we're approving and supportive and accepting. But there's a complementary virtue that Jesus frequently taught us to possess. Perhaps it's emphasized so frequently throughout the Bible because it feels bad and is rarely applauded.
I'm talking about the virtue of discernment. It's emphasized in the biblical call to beware, to watch out, to avoid those who claim Christ but practice and promote the things that are contrary to His Word. As 2 Peter 2:1 warns, there will be false teachers among you. We must be on guard. So be discerning and carefully consider when it is godly to be accepting and when it's not.
