Biblical Discernment in a Changing Culture

We hear ideas about freedom, identity, and happiness so often that we can begin to take them for granted. Those assumptions can shape how we hear Scripture and what we’re willing to say about it. Romans 12:2 calls us to be transformed by the renewal of our minds. God’s Word teaches us to examine even our most familiar assumptions.On this Weekly Watch episode of Contending for the Word, Dave Jenkins addresses ideology, cultural pressure, and spiritual deception. Hebrews 13:8–9 places the warning against strange teachings alongside the declaration that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The unchanging Christ gives us courage to hold fast to Scripture, speak with gentleness, and give thanks for God’s faithfulness.

Listen or Watch

In This Episode

  • Recognize how ideas about identity and freedom shape our thinking (Romans 12:2).
  • Speak openly about our hope in Christ with gentleness and respect (Romans 1:16 and 1 Peter 3:15).
  • Test spiritual claims and experiences by God’s Word (Colossians 2:8 and 1 John 4:1).
  • See why the church must preach the Word when sound teaching is unwelcome (2 Timothy 4:2–3).
  • Remember that God is our refuge and stay rooted in Christ when controversies arise (Psalm 46:1–2, Ephesians 4:14, and Colossians 2:6–7).
As you pray this week, thank God for a pastor who preaches the Word, a family raising its children in the faith, or a believer who serves quietly.
