The Tests of Morality & Motivation / How to Discern Truth / Week 2
In week two of the series How to Discern Truth, Bartley Sawatsky explores the critical tests of morality and motivation to help believers evaluate both messages and messengers. Pastor Bartley examines how ungodliness and toxic empathy can distort objective moral reality, calling Christians to discern weightier biblical matters and practice ordered compassion rooted in truth. He then addresses the test of motivation, urging the church to examine the underlying agendas, financial interests, and biases of leaders, legacy media, and emerging technologies like AI. Ultimately, Bartley challenges believers to stand with courage against cultural pressure, anchoring their discernment in God's word rather than human approval or political ideology.
