					<description>I believe discernment is a powerful gift. Each of us I believe has it to some degree. You said "Putting it into words is difficult" and "In my experience, writing is the best vehicle for the gift of discernment". God has gifted me with the ability to express myself verbally. I don't know why but it's always been easier for me to speak to people. When I'm talking to someone I seem to just know what to say. I have tried writing with some success but I find, for me anyway it's easier to feel the person out and talk face to face.
Thanks</description>

					<description>Thanks Lonnie, I think your right, each of us can express our gift of discernment in different ways, for me it's best in writing.</description>

					<description>It is intertesting to read what you are saying about being sensitive as a result of the gift and in so many settings. Over the last year, I have had dreams, scriptures and sensitivity about certain issues around me and I have felt that the Lord has been giving me discernment and knowledge about these issues. However it is hard to now how to deal with this information and ensure that it is of God and still walk ever so slowly with our Lord, using wisdom in all that we do. There is so much controversy over dreams etc. Thanks for your post.</description>

					<description>Thanks Brydie, I feel God does put a burden on us for certain issues and it's definitely hard to know how to deal with that information. Part of it is just waiting on his timing and the other part is remembering that not every need is a call.</description>

					<description>I have the gift of discernment and the gift of writing as my top two, and I relate to most of what you have said.  

Economics as a whole, however, should not be condemned without more research.  A lot of microeconomics is just math and charts demonstrating current trends.  That type of information is really very useful in the business world.  But a lot of the macroeconomics is as you have said.

I agree that Psychology has many bad elements, but I don't think counseling is wrong because that's even Biblical.  Basic elements of psychology, like making "I" statements in an argument, are definitely man-made knowledge though. The Bible does present better solutions if one properly studies them.
I do not believe that the Jungian types will necessarily keep anyone from God.  Knowing your type may make you feel as if you have an excuse for your behavior and don't have to change or it may make you satisfied where you are.  But I do know my type and yet I realize that God has defined me and I don't have to conform to that.  
Your discernment on psychology has been verified by both me and at least one other person I know who also seems to have the gift of discernment.

I especially agree with the church not tending to God speaking through dreams.  God speaks to me through dreams regularly and yet I never hear about that in large church settings.  Only in personal conversation.  I think it should be emphasized.  I felt as if I was alone in his speaking that way until I spoke more with other Christians and realized that it's common, just not spoken enough about.

Have a good day and be encouraged to speak the truth... the rest of us will try to back you up.  :)</description>

					<description>[...] One blog comment made a good point about micro vs macro economics. I think their right, the problem lies in macro and not in micro. I suppose psychology could be broken up into two categories, too. There is a side of psychology that doesn&#8217;t deal with relationships but more with how the brain functions such as Maslow&#8217;s theories. However, the way we are applying psychology to all parts of our lives makes that separation impossible. Recently, I took a teachers certification test and it was kind of scary how much education has turned to psychological theories and intellectual research on how to educate our children.
