DISCERNMENT TIME

08/28/2026

The Pulpit is not the Place for: personal testimonies, political speeches, group therapy sessions, motivational talks, self-help advice, worldly philosophies, or scientific theories. The pulpit is the throne of the Word of God.

1. Exegesis — Bringing Meaning Out of the Text

Exegesis means carefully drawing out the meaning of a biblical passage. The goal is to discover what the biblical author intended to communicate.

Lets the Bible speak for itself. We come to Scripture willing to hear what it actually says rather than forcing our preferred conclusion upon it.

Finds the author’s intended meaning. We consider the context, grammar, historical setting, and surrounding passages to understand the message.

Builds truth from the text. Our doctrine and application should arise from Scripture rather than being imposed upon it.

In simple terms: Exegesis asks, “What does the text mean?”

2. Eisegesis — Putting Meaning Into the Text

Eisegesis occurs when we read our own ideas, assumptions, or beliefs into Scripture and then treat them as though they came from the text.

Makes the Bible say what we want. Instead of allowing Scripture to correct us, we make Scripture support what we already believe.

Adds our opinions instead of receiving God’s truth. Personal experiences and opinions can influence interpretation if we are not careful.

Distorts the real message of Scripture. A verse can be removed from its context and made to support an idea the biblical author never intended.

In simple terms: Eisegesis asks, “How can I make this text support what I already believe?”

3. Narcigesis — Putting Yourself at the Center

Narcigesis is a modern term describing an interpretation that makes the reader, rather than God and His redemptive purposes, the center of the biblical message.

Centers the message on you, not on God. The Bible becomes primarily about what God can do for me rather than what God has revealed about Himself.

Uses the Bible to justify personal preferences. Scripture is treated as a tool for validating what we already want.

Turns Scripture into a mirror instead of a lamp. Rather than allowing God's Word to expose and correct us, we use it to reinforce our own desires and identity.
