Test the Spirits

 

If you are playing checkers while everyone else is playing chess you are going to lose the game! That's especially true in the game of life.

We often seek material solutions for spiritual problems. John offers game changing information in 1 John 4:1-6. He tells us that if we want to understand more of what's happening in the falling away of our families, our children, and our churches that we need to "test the spirits." 

How do you test the spirits? What does it mean to test the spirits? What changes when one tests the spirits?
