Walk with Discernment

Aug 17, 2025    Billy Cochran

In our journey of faith, we're called to 'Walk the Walk' with discernment. This powerful message reminds us that living out our faith isn't just about choosing the right path, but staying vigilant on that path. The second letter of John serves as our guide, warning us about the dangers of false teachings and the importance of adhering to the true doctrine of Christ. We're challenged to be loyal to Jesus' teachings, attentive to deception, and willing to set boundaries. The imagery of Christ as both fully God and fully man is beautifully explained, emphasizing the profound nature of His incarnation. This truth forms the foundation of our faith and shapes our understanding of God's love for us. As we navigate the information age, we're reminded that discernment isn't optional - it's essential. We must be spiritually alert, carefully considering what we allow into our minds and hearts. The message encourages us to find strength in fellowship, drawing parallels to the friendship of Frodo and Sam in 'The Lord of the rings'. Ultimately, we're called to sharpen one another in faith, finding joy in genuine Christian community as we walk this path together.
