"Test everything; hold fast what is good."_ — 1 Thessalonians 5:21 (ESV)
When the latest alien comet conspiracy hits your newsfeed, your first instinct might be to grab your tinfoil hat—or call for a church prayer meeting under the gymnasium bleachers. But pause. As believers, we’re called to be watchful, wise, and anchored in truth. We don’t panic—we weigh with discernment.
Discernment isn’t just smelling something fishy—it’s holding that fish up to the light of God’s Word to see if it’s even on the menu. In a culture full of sensational claims, viral posts, and spiritual half-truths, our job is not to believe less... but to believe better.
- Does this line up with Scripture?
- Is it rooted in fear or faith?
- What fruit does believing this produce—panic or peace?
- Bereans in Acts 17:11 didn’t just take Paul’s word for it—they examined the Scriptures daily to verify his teaching.
- Jesus Himself taught us to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves (Matthew 10:16)—alert, but not alarmed.
- Peter warned about false teachers sneaking in with clever stories (2 Peter 2:1–3)—not every tale is gospel truth.
1. Hold your beliefs up to the Word—not the trend.
2. Seek wisdom, not sensationalism.
3. Know the Shepherd’s voice (John 10:27)—so you don’t follow a stranger. (RSKA!)
Have a great day, and as always, let others see Jesus in you!
