Learning about Discernment

　　“Discernment” is the learning objective of this school year. It is our hope that our teachers’ guidance and sharing can provide more opportunities for our students to think about and experience how to “discern” as they receive theological training in the seminary. The faculty team is pleased to work together to nurture our students to become pastors who know how to discern. In the midst of this generation of confusion and chaos, it is necessary for pastors to have both theological wisdom and the power to discern God’s will so that they can follow the Lord closely all their lives and be His faithful servants.

　　In this issue of the HKBTS’s Newsletter, three articles from our teachers are included which seek to explore “discernment” from different angles. The teachers are Dr. Andres Tang, Dr. Jonathan Lo, and Rev. Brian Lam who have either preached on this subject in chapel or presented a sharing on the Spiritual Formation Day respectively. We thank them for their hard work creating the manuscript, making amendments, and revising in order to share their thoughts with our readers here.
