Sunday’s Sermon convicted my heart that I am much too easy on my sin. The reason I am too easy on it is because I ignore it, excuse it away, or don’t read the parts of the Bible that point it out. The thought questions at the end of the sermon have left me thinking….looking forward to “fleshing” some of these thoughts out in small group.
Questions to think about:
1. Have I embraced a “tamable, American” god that “understands” my sin and therefore doesn’t bug me to repent of it?
2. Do I read my Bible because I want to know God or so I can feel spiritual?
3. Do I come to church because I want to worship or because I want to fellowship with good people?
4. Do I behave as a member of the church every day of my life….in other words to I feel connected to God’s people by the common bond we have in that Christ has redeemed us?
5. Do I have nothing to ask of God? Am I so self-reliant and self-satisfied that I do not need to ask Him to work on me, changing me to be more like Jesus.
6. Is my perception of God primarily informed by the Bible OR by my upbringing Or by the culture? Am I willing to change my perception of God if the Bible demonstrates that I have misconceptions of Him?
7. Am I attached to something that distorts my view of God constantly, like music, literature, T.V., etc.
Food for thought! Enjoy and may God bless you with His Spirit as you seek Him in His Word!
