Learning and applying God's Word is difficult,
especially in today's
complex society. Fortunately, there is a multitude of excellent
resources to help you. This site is designed to be a launch point
for your quest. Keep one key principle in mind as you use these
resources; that you test all advice and interpretation against the Word
of God as recorded in the Bible, (also see Discernment below). Good luck and may the holy spirit
that resides within you, help guide your quest.
     
Discernment
It is good in God's eye to be a critical thinker. Critical
thinking helps protect you from the Deceiver and better enables you to
convey the truth of the Bible. From 1-Peter 3:15, "Always be
prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for
the hope that you have."

Many times deceit will be camouflaged with truth. This is why you
need to use all the below tools to discern God's Truth. |
| Test all advice and interpretation against the Word
of God as recorded in the Bible. |
| Qualify the source either directly or by association, as being Christian
and cognizant of the Truth. Also learn the names of founders
of false religions and life styles, that you will be more capable in
spotting false teachings and wicked ways. |
| God's Truth is to be made available to all. Secrets held by a few
should be a clear warning sign. |
| A clear sign of truth is documentation and sound rationalizations.
Truthful people tend to cross-reference and footnote their information
allowing others to validate source documentation. Be very leery of arguments stemming from generalities, especially ones that
are not supported or documented. |
| Take care to not get sucked into false fire drills, or to pass on as
truth, fabricated stories that are too good to be true, (also known as urban
legends). See Christian
Myths for examples, or use www.truthorfiction.com
to check a story out. |
| The symbols of the occult are out there to be seen. Know them so
that they become warning signs to you. See www.crossroad.to/text/symbols.html
or www.exposingsatanism.org/signsymbols.htm
for examples, (some will surprise you). |
