"The true rule in determining to embrace or reject anything is not whether it have any evil in it, but whether it have more of evil than of good. There are few things wholly evil or wholly good." ~Lincoln (1809-1865)
"The man who thinks he can know the Word of God by mere intellectual study is greatly deceived. Spiritual truth is spiritually discerned." ~Samuel Chadwick
"Not until the work in hand has failed and we are despised and rejected shall we begin to discern the intent of our heart." ~Watchman Nee
"Discernment is not a matter of simply telling the difference between right and wrong; rather it is telling the difference between right and almost right." ~Charles Spurgeon
My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:1-5 ESV
