How Do I Know What is True?

As we examine chapter 4 of 1 John, we realize quickly that they dealt with many of the same issues that we do today. In our culture, we encounter a myriad of voices that tell us what is true, what we should believe and how we should live our lives. We are often told to embrace whatever we think is true and to "live our truth." In John's day, there was a group of teachers who had embraced their own spirituality and were teaching a different message about how to know God. So how do we know what is true? What teachers should we trust? In today's message we see the need for discernment, a guide for discernment and the help God gives us to discern.
