discerning but not discriminating

Wednesday - 6/13 - Read James 2:1-13

Does this principle of not showing favoritism mean that we should not be discerning about where they are spiritually?

Look at 1 Tim. 3 - What kind of person should the church pursue for leadership? This excludes people. Why is this right?

Look at 2 Cor. 6:14-18 - What should any potential marriage or business relationship discern about another person before entering into a relationship?

Look at 1 Cor. 5:11-13 - What should a Christian discern about another "so called" brother before having an open relationship with him?

Look at 1 John 4:1; 2 John 7-11 - What beliefs should we discern about another person or church before pursuing a relationship with them?

Read Luke 15:11-24 for next Sunday
