Ask people what skills they are growing in. Is discerning good versus evil one of those skills? How do you improve that skill? With practice. Studying God's Word and applying it, and helping others apply it, is how we practice. Are you practicing? Are you improving that skill with practice?
The more we practice, the more we are able to understand deeper subjects and handle them properly. That is when we have developed the skill.
