These and similar philosophies teach that there is no absolute truth relating to morality or doctrine, allowing for no definitive standards of belief or behavior. It is no surprise that secular society values pluralism and diversity higher than truth, but the same attitude has sadly infected an increasing segment of the church...As a result, many individual believers, churches, and denominations as a whole have forfeited biblical clarity in favor of moral and doctrinal error...

The temptation to embrace deception is great, and believers often accept it too much with too little discernment...Only as the church maintains a passionate love for truth and an intense hatred for error will it manifest its power in society. In 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 the apostle Paul issues an unmistakable call to discernment. This book by Dr. Marsha Rano addresses:

• The disastrous results of the indifference of the church in the face of the current trend toward moral, doctrinal, and political corruption
• The desperate need of the church to practice biblical discernment
• The practical lessons in cultivating discernment in the Christian life
• How to equip serious readers with a foundation for biblical discernment that will enable them to make careful distinctions in their thinking about truth.
