Try the Spirits

Given on May 15, 2010 by Steve Buchanan Listen

Late in the first century A.D. the apostle John wrote, "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God;" (1 John 4:1). John wanted Christ’s followers to not be misled by the cultural misconceptions and philosophies of his day. In today's society, how do we test the spirits?
