## Resource

Whether we are in positions of great authority or trying to live a life pleasing before God, discernment is an indispensable tool that we will always have to use. Maintaining adequate discernment, however, is not trivial. Anything in our hearts that has not been surrendered to God will cloud our judgement and make us incapable of exercising right discernment. But when we keep our hearts pure before the Lord, our skills of discernment are sharpened by constantly conforming our thoughts to his. 2 Samuel 15-17; Proverbs 4; 1 Kings 3; 1 Corinthians 14NYC Sunday Service | February 8, 2026
