Spiritual Discernment Pt. 4 – “Worldly” Discernment

1. Why is “being smart” not enough – but also still a reflection of God’s glory in His pinnacle creation?


2. Reading Gal. 6:1, Eph. 4:2; Col. 3:12; 2 Tim. 2:25. What should be our relationship to humility and gentleness as we interact with people? What is our motivation here, and what are some ways we might get this wrong?


3. Reading our passage in James 3, along with 1:14; 4:1; Gen. 4:5-8; Jer. 17:9; and Mat. 15:19, how does a right view of God, leading to a right view of self, help us avoid the worldly wisdom of James 3?


4. Is there anything in particular that stood out to you from this passage?
