“Discernment is the ability to distinguish, discriminate and judge between what is true and what is not true, what is good and what is evil.” (Page 1)
“In other words, you don’t have the moral right to stand up and condemn other people for being immoral if you are immoral yourself! Jesus was condemning hypocritical judgments.” (Page 2)
“If you are truly converted, you will not lose your salvation because you question it. Doubts have never damned anyone but false confidence has led millions into hell.” (Page 13)
“ where we are told that man exists to glorify God.” (Page 3)
