Scripture: Romans 8

-Do you walk after the spirit or after the flesh?

-Do you tend to always do the things that you feel like doing?

-Be governed by the spirit not the flesh. Be careful that you don’t live according to the flesh.

-You would think that the people who have the most stuff would be happy but often times they are not.

Scripture: Proverbs 3

-Do you think of things in a spiritual sense.

-Fear the Lord and depart from evil. (Proverbs 3:7)

Scripture: Psalms 119

-How do you present to people? What type of tendencies do you have (good or bad)?

-Being born again seems to be less of a focus now days. People often keep up the same bad habits they had before they supposedly ‘gave their life to Christ’.

-People are different because some people have a different commitment than others.

-Are you in a hurry to do and be the things that God wants you to be.

-God will judge you on the willingness and the effort that you bring.

-Do you ever wonder why some people are successful and why some people are not?

-Why does it matter how great you are at work if you are horrible at church?

-Do you demand greatness from yourself in God?

-The effort you put in shows where your heart and mind is.

Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 1

-Do you pray for others?

-What is your work of faith (as referenced in 1 Thessalonians 1:3). Look in the mirror and be truthful.

-God should not be getting the worse of your energy.

-What will you be remembered for? What will your tombstone say?

-Engage you heart, mind, and soul for Christ.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9

-You will be judged on your effort, are you going for the prize? Does the effort that you give look like you are trying to win?

-You will not become your best in Christ if you are not giving your best.

-Don’t only want other people to be saved but lived saved yourself!

-Try to accomplish something everyday.
