Examine your relationship with God's word

Keep in mind this is not a list given in order to make you feel guilty or condemned. Romans 8:1 plainly tells us that there in no more condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. The Bible is not to be read out of a duty mentality but rather out of the delight within the heart! If that is not happening in your Christian walk then would you pray that God would incline, open, unite and satisfy your heart toward His word today.

1. Do you spend more time watching favorite TV shows during the week than in Bible study, reading and devotion?

2. Do you know more facts about companies on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ than you facts in your Bible

3. Are your recipe books are more marked up and gone through than your Bible?

4. Do you have more songs downloaded on your iPod than verses of Scripture in your heart

5. You think Bible study is dry and boring

8. You don’t remember the last Bible verse that you memorized

9. Your Christian walk is defined more by “what you think” instead of “what the word of God says”

10. You don’t have a system in which to study the Bible

11. The main reason for your lack of Bible devotion time is a due to hectic lifestyle

12. When is the last time (not counting life group) that you carried your Bible to someone’s home and helped them worked through a major issue from the Scriptures?

13. Are you spending more time with the newspaper weekly than with your Bible

14. If another believer asked you about your devotion this morning in terms of what Jesus said to you and what you said to Jesus - you would be hard pressed to give them an answer.
