"Right now, in this day and age...the best discernment that you can ever use is to hang out with those who are followers of Jesus that are humble and broken; because Jesus dealt with people not in terms of right and wrong, but in terms of humble or proud." ~ Jason Upton
Truth is a Person. Our faith is not mental assent to a set of propositions, it is relationship with God. Jesus did not base his relationship off of whether people were right or wrong, rather, He hung out with the humble of heart. Jesus’ disciples did not have perfect theology by any means, but they were humble enough to receive Jesus when He came. The problem with seeking to be "right" is that it results in self-righteousness, and scripture says that “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (1 Peter 5:5, James 4:6). Humility is a posture of heart we all must have. Check out this week’s message if you would like to learn more about the absolute importance of humility, what humility looks like according to Scripture, and how crucial humility is in our walk with God.
