This morning, I found out relatively last minute that I would need to preach. My father ( a pastor in Maine) was supposed to preach, but some medical issues unfortunately caused him to need to back out sunday morning. He felt terrible about doing so, but he’ll be back some other time. 

Anyway, I decided to do something I did a few years ago at another church called 10 questions to diagnose your spiritual health. It’s based on a book by Donald Whitney. I promised that I would post these questions here on the blog, so here you go. I’d encourage to spend some time with these questions and be honest with yourself about your answers.

 

#1 Do you thirst for God?

Psalm 42 

#2 Are you governed increasingly by God’s Word?

2 Timothy 3

#3 Are you more loving?

John 13:34-35; 1 Corinthians 13

#4 Are you more sensitive to God’s Presence?

Genesis 28:16

#5 Do you have a growing concern for the spiritual and temporal needs of others?

James 2:15-16

#6 Do you love being with other followers of Christ?

1 John 3:14

#7 Are the spiritual disciplines increasingly important to you?

Hebrews 12:14; 1 Timothy 4:7

#8 Do you still grieve over sin?

2 Corinthians 7:8-11

#9 Are you a quicker forgiver?

Mark 11:25

#10 Do you yearn for heaven and to be with Jesus?

Philippians 1:21-24; Colossians 3:2
