A Christian Student’s Survival Guide
Discernment – one the most important qualities a student requires to maintain their faith. OK, what constitutes discernment? Definition; discernment the ability to distinguish, discriminate, or judge between truth and non-truth, good verses evil. Distinguishing also means understanding the times and place in which we live. Discernment requires a student to not take the word of a professor at face value. That aspect of learning reflects gullibility, taking things at face value without total understanding.
