    Why Non-Christians Have More Discernment - Luke 16:8

    Here’s a puzzle that will rattle your theology. Picture a man so close to God that miracles followed him around like stray puppies, but he couldn’t spot a wolf in the pulpit if it wore a name tag. He had a good heart, but he either had no discernment or left it unused. His wife was controlling, cruel, with no sign of knowing the Lord. She discerned the collapse of two major ministries years before the headlines did. He had the power. She had the discernment. Explain that one. Sometimes the best way to understand a gift is by contrast. Let's go searching for truth among some of the oddest characters in Scripture. Firstly, every mature believer needs: God, character, and skill. Put God and skill together without character, and you get what this teaching affectionately calls “freaks,” people who get an astonishing amount done for the Kingdom and leave a trail of question marks behind them: Balaam, the hired curser who delivered one of the most beautiful Messianic prophecies in the Bible (Numbers 24:17). Gehazi, the servant who saw what the prophet missed in the Shunammite woman, then chased Naaman’s silver and came home a leper (2 Kings 4, 5, 8). And Joab, the General who told David the truth when no one else dared, and also stabbed the wrong man (2 Samuel 3,19,24). From there, you’ll learn to separate the true gift of discernment (1 Corinthians 12:8–10) from its look-alikes: worldly wisdom (James 3:15), plain shrewdness about human nature (Luke 16), being “familiar with the spirit” from years in the trenches, and the double-mindedness that makes a person impossible to read (James 1:8). Then comes the question: is it that you can’t discern, or that you just don’t want to know? The truth is, spirits must be tested not trusted. (1 John 4:1). Come, let's go deeper. God wants to show you more than you know.
