These are the questions I ask myself. I encourage you to ask these questions for your own affirmation and discipline:
1. Can I do this in the name of Christ? Colossians 3:17
2. Can I imagine Jesus doing this? 1 John 2:6
3. Will my action glorify God? 1 Corinthians 10:31
4. Am I an embarrassment to the Savior? 1 John 2:28
5. If my body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit, is what I am doing OK in God’s sight? 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
6. Does my behavior hinder my spiritual maturity? Hebrews 12:1
7. Am I tripping up other Christians? Romans 14:21
8. Do my decisions make Christianity unpalatable to non-Christians? Matthew 5:16
Wow! These questions sobered me up. How about you?
Blessings!
What challenging thoughts. Amen!
