Spiritual discernment is good for more than just making monumental decisions according to God's will. It is an essential, day-to-day activity that allows thoughtful Christians to separate the truth of God from error and to distinguish right from wrong in all kinds of settings and situations. It is also a skill-something that any person can develop and improve, especially with the guidance in this book. Written by a leading evangelical blogger, The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment is an uplifting, scripturally grounded work that explains the need for discernment, its challenges, and the steps that will cultivate it. Author Tim Challies does not do the discerning for readers; he simply shows them how to practically apply scriptural tools, principles, and wisdom so that their conclusions about everything-people, teachings, decisions, media, and organizations-will be consistent with God's Word.

Dating and Spiritual Growth. Have you seen that article recently on Yahoo!.?
A few days back on the Yahoo News there was an article about dating and how similar it was to seeking God/Higher Power. If anyone knows where I can find it again, please let me know. I LOVED IT, sorry I didn't save it. Thanks, Maryanne
I don't recall seeing it but I suggest checking your history and seeing if you can find it. Seems like a very interesting article

I mean, they are just as much a part of you as your hand or eyes or brain. In fact, your survival depends 100% on this vast ecosystem within yourself.
Do you acknowledge them, in a spiritual sense?
There is still more water than anything in my body.

The best I could do is browse the magazine site. http://www.health.com/health/ Their archives online only go back as far as 2008, but on their "help" page it suggests "How do I find past articles from Health magazine?

Thanks Mr John, I apperciate you kind response:)
"Rockday" I am laughing out laud.
Many great answers, Robin Charlie, "It is finished" I was really encouraged by your answers.:) I appreciate you response and input to this post.:)
Shalom all:)
Those spiritual leaders who use fear and abuse to frighten their people are not moved by the Holy Spirit who is our Comforter to edify, exhort and comfort believers. These leaders do not manifest the fruit and the gifts of the Spirit to bless God's people are moving in their own flesh. God bless you
