Thoughts from the Christian perspective: discernment issues as they relate to the current state of the church and society.
In Eden, the devil sold slavery to Adam and Eve, but called it independence; he sold them wisdom, but it turned out to be mental darkness; he put forth a beautiful vision of who they could become, but his offer was sweetly poisoned. He promised them fulfillment and gave them guilt. He appealed to their pride and gave them despair and an empty life. He promised like a god but paid them like the devil he was.
Erwin W. Lutzer, We Will Not Be Silenced, pg.144
