Calvary Zender

Question: where did you get your definition of discernment? The reason I ask is that I appreciate what y'all are doing in discussing difficult issues, but whenever discernment is mentioned in scripture, it's translated from words that refer the the ability to distinguish the will of God, namely in separating truth from falsehood (Proverbs 28:7, 1 Kings 3:9, Philippians 1:9-10 for example). I suggest renaming the episode to 'business management' or 'making wise decisions' lest people be misled.
