“As we seek after discernment, a good and godly desire, our sinful natures will fight against us. We will soon discover a part of ourselves that does not want to make clear distinctions between what is good and evil, and a part of ourselves that does not want to be committed to what is good and right and true. And so the first enemy we must overcome in our discipline of discernment is ourselves.”
― Tim Challies, The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment

“But for I am a woman should I therefore live that I should not tell you the goodness of God?”
― Julian of Norwich, Revelations of Divine Love

“With discernment comes division. A person who seeks to be discerning must be willing to suffer the effects of this division. It will divide not only believer from unbeliever, but it may even divide a discerning believer from one who is undiscerning. It will separate the mature from the immature, the naïve from the prudent.”
― Tim Challies, The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment

“Tyranny is the deliberate removal of nuance”
