Struggling with the WORLD?

1 Thessalonians 5:21-22

“Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.”

How do we know if something is from God or from the world?

1. Test all things: use your critical thinking skills to compare what you hear with scripture

2. Hold onto what is good: hold onto what you learn about the Word and apply it!

3. Abstain from evil: avoid what scripture tells us is wrong.

What worldly struggle is impacting you right now?

... Read moreIn today's fast-paced world, many individuals struggle to discern spiritual truths from worldly distractions. The scripture in 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 acts as a vital guide, encouraging believers to critically evaluate all that influences their lives. Testing all things involves using your critical thinking skills to compare teachings and opinions against scripture. This practice ensures that the beliefs we hold align with Christian values and truth. Holding onto what is good means actively embracing the teachings and principles found in the Word, allowing them to shape our decisions and actions. Abstaining from every form of evil is crucial in maintaining one's spiritual integrity. This may involve distancing oneself from toxic influences, unhealthy relationships, or negative thoughts that conflict with one's faith. Each person's worldly struggle might differ, ranging from peer pressure in social settings to the temptations presented in media. By engaging with like-minded individuals in communities like Lemon8, sharing experiences, and seeking advice helps create a supportive environment where struggles can be openly discussed and addressed. Use hashtags like #discernment, #christiangirl, and #criticalthinking to connect with others facing similar challenges and grow in your faith journey.
