Be alert to the slippery slope of spiritual negligence.
Don't mess up the order of faith or yoyu will get messed up.
God has a plan and purpose for your life and He is calling you to it. What might be keeping you from hearing Him?
What comes out of your mouth? Does it shake the doorposts of heaven with praise?
What is it that drowns out the voice of the Holy Spirit in your life?
There's danger ahead, but the real danger is that it may already be in us.
Where you put your roots down will determine what kind of fruit you bear.
When will the promise of enjoying the fruit of our labor be fulfilled?
How quickly we slide away from God when we follow te passions of the flesh.
Don't give up. You will soon enjoy the fruit of your labor.
It seems like we've almost reached the bottom. Is there any hope?
What things or people are you allowing to compete with Christ for your emotional, physical, or even spiritual needs?
Don't be confused. Christ has no competition. However, we allow others to compete with Him.
When things go wrong, to whom do you turn? Self...or God?
How has pride caused you to not completely trust Christ?
Are we becoming a reflection of Jesus or of our culture?
Why should the unsaved want Jesus when we as His living examples do not desire Him above all else?
Don't rebel against the hardships of life when God has design them as discipline to train us to be like Jesus.
We are the living invitations of God's love so people may be saved.
Is your worship an act of surrender to God or a means of earning something from God?
Great power is available by confessing weakness instead of covering it.
God's power at work in us makes us strong to be His witnesses no matter what it costs?
We cannot be filled with grace without the very real experience of grace.
Full is full. Partially filled means there's space for something else. Don't be satisfied with less than being filled.
Is it evident to others that you live your life by faith in Jesus Christ alone?
The secret to joyful living is to seek the face of Jesus continuously.
There is much significance to the death of Jesus on the cross.
When we humbly seek the face of Jesus and turn from our sin He will bring peace and healing.
In a spirit of grace, search out the people that need to find forgiveness and walk with them.
There is a way to have the burden of your sin removed.
Comfort zones limit the power of God to do a great work in and through you.
What kind of daily exercise are you doing to remain spiritually fit?
Are you able to survive walking through the fires of life without getting burned?
When you are seeking answers from God, take a break and listen for His response.
