Holy Spirit Inspection Part 1

Holy Spirit Inspection – Part 1

I recently came across this great list of accountability questions from Christ Life Ministries, Inc. (www.Christlifemin.org). These were questions that were originally used by members of John Wesley’s Holy Club in their personal devotions:

1. Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I am better than I really am? In other words, am I a hypocrite?
2. Am I honest in all my acts and words, or do I exaggerate?
3. Do I pass on to another what was told me in confidence?
4. Can I be trusted?
5. Am I a slave to dress, friends, or work habits?
6. Am I self-conscious, self-pitying, or self-justifying?
7. Did the Bible “live” in me today?
8. Do I give it time to speak to me every day?
9. Am I enjoying prayer?
10. When did I last speak to someone about my faith?

A great list of questions for you to ask yourself often. I will share the rest of the list tomorrow. – Bill Welte is President and CEO of America’s Keswick

GPS – God’s Positioning System: Jeremiah 18-22; Psalm 28; Proverbs 1

Compass Pointers: If worship is right because God is worthy of it, it is also the best of all antidotes to our own self-centredness, the most effective way to "disinfect us of egotism," as one writer put it long ago. In true worship we turn the searchlight of our mind and heart upon God and temporarily forget about our troublesome and usually intrusive selves. We marvel at the beauties and intricacies of God's creation. We "survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of glory died." We are taken up with God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit...Because we are normally so turned in on ourselves, we will not find this easy. But we have to persevere, since nothing is more right or more important. John R. W. Stott
