A Personal Inventory for Sunday

1. Am I putting in conscious effort (work) into learning something new from God, whether in the scripture I read or the sermon I hear?

2. Do I carefully examine the text of each song I sing in church or just blindly get caught up in the catchy melody or ongoing repetition?

3. Does my hunger for the food of God’s word match my hunger for physical food? Are they fed even close to equally? (Jeremiah 15:16)

4. Do I know where in my church I can be taught from God’s word, besides Sunday morning service?

5. Where are my time and money being spent most? Am I too busy for regular corporate and personal study of God’s word because of other things? Is the pursuit of spiritual knowledge and growth an invested priority in my life? (Matt. 6:21)
