I am always looking for powerful questions I can use or that my closest friends can use to edit and vet my life. Though I will add to this list, here is a list of questions that I think am going to settle on for a while. These questions were produced by the Church Multiplication Association. The ten questions are as follows:
1. Have you been a testimony this week to the greatness of Jesus Christ with both your words and actions?
2. Have you been exposed to sexually alluring material or allowed your mind to entertain inappropriate thoughts about someone who is not your spouse this week?
3. Have you lacked any integrity in your financial dealings this week, or coveted something that does not belong to you?
4. Have you been honoring, understanding and generous in your important relationships this past week?
5. Have you damaged another person by your words, either behind their back or face-to-face?
6. Have you given in to an addictive behavior this week? Explain.
7. Have you continued to remain angry toward another?
8. Have you secretly wished for another’s misfortune so that you might excel?
9. Did you finish your reading this week and hear from the Lord? What are you going to do about it?
10. Have you been completely honest with me?
What do you think about these questions? Are there others you can add to this list? Do you have someone in your life who can edit your life with these questions?

I would add this one: Have you worshiped God in all your words and actions this week? If not, what stopped you from your worship of Him?

WOW Tom these questions really hit home! I must admit some of the answers have brought shame to my heart. I am getting better at loving those who hate me but it is still hard to hold back the anger and that does not honor God in the least! I’ll print out this list and work on having better answers to these questions as the new week begins.
Thanks again!
