CHRISTIAN DISCERNMENT

The four dynamics we choose to live
An introduction to Christian Discernment

 There are four dynamics that people actually live.......
Four distinctive ways of human living.

There are four distinctive sets of awareness, perceptions, emotions,
desires, energies, commitments, affects, actions and habits;-

Christian,     humanist,     worldly    and     evil.
CHRISTLIFE           HUMANISM         FALLEN HUMAN NATURE      and    EVIL
                                                                    (sin prone flesh)                              (the darkness)


The person who lives dynamically their life for God,
                   who chooses to be led by the Spirit of Christ,
                   whose speech and action exudes the love of Christ,
                   lives the first dynamic, which is Christlife.

 Some scientists, teachers, diplomats and others live and work in noble human dedication,
         They act out of a deep commitment to better humankind. Without reference to God,
         they live the dynamic of natural humanism.

Some people live for fun and pleasure, eagerly following fashion,
         Absorbed in money and fine things, they live the dynamic of sin prone flesh,
        which we can refer to with St. Paul's Greek word for fallen human nature..."sarx."

 Some people give their lives to darkness and destruction.
         They callously exploit others and ruin them,....they murder in cold blood,....
         they deliberately make others subservient to themselves
         and take away others freedom, They live in the dynamic of darkness.

Discerning movements in the Church

Bill Johnson.;- The Church has largely replaced the gospel of the Kingdom with the gospel of salvation. This gospel is focused on getting people saved and going to heaven. That message makes it easy to miss the fact that it is only part of the whole message that Jesus gave us.  The gospel of the Kingdom is focused on the transformation of lives, cities and nations, bringing the reality of heaven to earth. We must not confuse our destiny with our assignment.  Heaven is my destiny, while bringing the Kingdom is my assignment. The focus of the Kingdom message is the rightful dominion of God over everything . Jim Miller;- Unfortunately, large parts of the church have not only failed to transform our cities. We have also fallen short of the gospel of salvation.(getting people saved and on their way to heaven). We, for a long time, have centered and still center on the gospel of " Church Membership". (If the church membership numbers are not too bad...then that's O.K. ...

Identify Three Spirits

the spirit of humanism the spirit of sarx the spirit of the dark Humanism Those who live this dynamic generally choose orderly lives and dedicate themselves to some cause, The notable among them are greatly honoured, Humanism's spirit is marked by nobility, idealism, learning, honesty, candor, loyalty, and fidelity.  Humanists may believe in a god.but have no relationship with the living God nor do they put their trust in Him.  A humanist might be a dedicated teacher, or a health visitor to a poor area. They serve others, do not condone injustice; they are upright decent people. Sarx.......    fallen human nature. Those who give themselves to this dynamic in its less harmful moments are great conformers, conforming to the latest fad, they are the target of advertising;- have it all,  have it now, get more, indulge yourself, have the best, top of the range, be one up. Their less lovely side manifests  lust,  envy,  jealousy, ...
