Apr. 23, 2008 - Questions for the Heart
I found this onBeauty from the Heart. I read these questions and went "wow". I think they are very thought provoking and very true. Please take a moment to read them and share with us what you think. You don't have to share your answers, just give us some thoughts. I definitely think that it is something to think about and pray about. I know I do/don't do so many of these things way too often or spend too much time thinking about things other than God... and then it's time for my quiet time and I find I am too tired or don't feel like having that time with God. Grace4God(Sarah) wrote a great post about that.
- Do you act out of obedience to Christ and a passion for His glory--or your own?
- How do you spend your time?
- How much of your time per day is spent chatting with friends (online, on the phone or in person)?
- How much of your time per day is spent daily in conversation with family members?
- How much of your time is spent daily speaking to God?
- How often do you meditate on the Cross? (Once a day? Once a week? Once a year?)
- Do you set time aside every day for prayer and Bible study?
- Do you try to faithfully obey God in public and at home?
- Do you ask God for the grace to help you obey consistently?
- What people, books, movies, etc. influence you the most?
- Do you read books, watch movies, or listen to music that does not encourage your walk with Christ? Do you think this is wise?
- Are your friends fellow Christians who are seeking after godliness? Or do they encourage you in gossip and ungodly thoughts?
- If so, do you also join in that gossip and allow those thoughts to dominate your mind?
- What are your main spheres of influence?
- What steps could you take to become a stronger influence of a Christ-like attitude to friends, siblings, neighbors, relatives, etc.?
- Do you actively serve in your community?
- When making decisions, do you consider how they affect others?

Wow....definitely something to really think about.
Sometimes it's hard not to get satisfied with our walk with God. And then I'll read something like that, and I realize how much more I have to accomplish.
Thanks for sharing it, Emy!

Wow Emy,
These are great questions. It basically goes with a post I had written a while back.
These questions are good ones to ask. Almost all of my friends are Christians. And some aren't. But there is one thing to ask every once in a while.
Are you sure your doing the right thing?
I am never sure until my ma told me that some times you have to be careful who you talk to. Even if is someone you barely remember.
I ask myself that question sometimes. But now I know who everyone is. (mostly) I am doing a right thing. Telling them about God.
I am never into politics, and my friends get me there. But I tell them flat out I am not going there. I am not into that stuff.
And yet again. Those are very good questions to ask every once in a while, just to make sure your doing the right thing.
God Bless!

I find myself the questions a lot and then not liking the answers at all!!! It goes to show how far we have to grow and that we need to stay on top of ourselves.

Awesome.
I've finally found a place where I can look for people who believe in God and who are trying their hardest to follow him.
I am tired of everything the world has to offer and am struggling so hard just to stay in touch with God. Finally I've found pages that are trιs encouraging.
Thank you so much
