    questions to consider (1)

    John Wesley's self examination "quiz":
    1. Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I am a better person 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 confidentially pass on what was told to me in confidence?
    4. Can I be trusted?
    5. Am I a slave to dress, friends, work or habit?
    6. Am I self-conscious, self-pitying, or self-justifying?
    7. Did the Bible live in me today?
    8. Do I give God time to speak to me everyday?
    9. Am I enjoying prayer?
    10. When did I last speak to someone else of my faith?
    11. Do I pray about the money I spend?
    12. Do I get to bed on time and get up on time?
    13. Do I disobey God in anything?
    14. Do I insist on doing something about which my conscience is uneasy?
    15. Am I defeated in any part of my life?
    16. Am I jealous, impure, irritable, touchy, or distrustful?
    17. How do I spend my spare time?
    18. Am I proud?
    19. Do I thank God I am not as other people, especially as the Pharisees who despised the publican?
    20. Is there anyone I fear, or dislike, or criticize, or resent? If so, what am I doing about it?
    21. Do I grumble and complain constantly?
    22. Is Christ real to me?
    To be honest... how to pass this "quiz"??? But I guess the point here is not so much I pass or fail, but for me to constantly check myself to make sure I am keeping in step with doing what God is pleased with. May this be something I ask myself all the time to keep myself on my toes.
