Hebrews 5:14 - Additional Comments
Juggle some balls, and ask another person if they can do it. If they say no, follow that by saying "today" - meaning, they can't juggle today. But they possibly could a week from now, if they practiced.
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.
