REMEMBER: Be Discerning!

Use discernment in everything you read, no matter how trustworthy the author or site may be. At the same time, be teachable and willing to learn. Discernment doesn't mean discarding something you are reading if it is different than what you previously thought. Discernment is examining the subject in light of Scripture and at the same time, being willing to be corrected if it matches up to the Scriptures. This is a hard skill to learn and apply!
