Trevin Wax is an author and blogger. He's noticed how many teachers are saying unbiblical things about wealth and prosperity.

I think the idea that you do the right things, you say the right things, you believe in God enough, and He will bless you, is one that is so easy for Christians in our society to fall to because it speaks to so many of the

hopes that so many Americans have when it comes to consumerism and wealth and health and

things like that. Even those who know better can still drift into wrong thinking.

They still live with this mindset of God is there to help me out. God is there to make me happy.

God is there to fulfill my deepest longings. Because it's easy to drift into unbiblical thinking,

we need to learn how to think through these things. We must be a people who discern, who discern our times and who also are discerning when

it comes to biblical interpretation and then discerning when it comes to our missionary task

as God's people who are called to make disciples in the world. We can't really do that

unless we listen to the people who are across from us to see what their objections to Christianity are, to know how to answer them.

And unless we're discerning as well to know how not to be taking in by some of the cultural currents of our time that would so easily sweep us away.

Today on Revive Our Hearts, Nancy Lee DeDemoss will help you learn that kind of

discernment. This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for May 11, 2015. Nancy's beginning a series

called Discerning Truth in a World of Deception.

One of the most important events in Greek mythology was the Trojan War, which, as you may

recall, was a legendary war that was waged by the Greeks against the legendary city of Troy.

This took place around 1,200.

Well, it didn't actually take place, but in Greek mythology, it took place around 1,200 BC.

And the Greeks set a siege against the city of Troy that lasted for almost 10 years, but they couldn't conquer the city.

And finally, in exasperation, the Greeks built a huge wooden horse and left it outside the city walls.

You may have seen pictures of this.

It's humongous.
