Christian Toolbox: Discernment

There is so much false information in this world, but it hasn't changed much from the Garden of Eden where Satan deceived Adam and Eve. An important tool in a Christian's spiritual toolbox is the ability to discern right from wrong. This message uses the story of Israel and the Gibeonites along with Proverbs 3 as the basis of learning more about discernment.

Richard's family first learned of God's wonderful truth in the mid-1950s in rural Wisconsin. His family moved to central Florida in the late 1960s where Richard spent many of his teen years and attended the Orlando church. After high school, he attended and graduated from Ambassador College in Pasadena, California. Since then, he has spent most of his working career in the Information Technology industry.

He was ordained in 2012 while living in Cincinnati, Ohio. He began pastoring the Orlando and Jacksonville churches in 2022 after serving in the central office for over 40 years. He retired from being a pastor in December, 2025, and still attends those churches.
