The Pharisees were more concerned with
performing religious rituals than connecting with God. We can easily get
sidetracked and become modern-day Pharisees. The questions below will examine
your motives and will reveal if your relationship with God goes beyond the four
walls of a church.
1. Do
you view a church building as “God’s house”?
2. Do
you believe that Church is something you go to?
3. Do
you "go to church" so that the pastor will see you in
attendance?
4. Do
you give your offerings without ever thinking about the Lord receiving them?
5. Do
you give your offerings mainly because you feel pressured by the pastor to
tithe?
6. Do
you read your Bible because you want others to know you are doing it?
7. Do
you serve in your church or elsewhere because you want others to respect you?
8. Do
you look down on people who don’t attend church?
9. Do
you ever sing to God in worship when you’re not in church?
10.
Do you pray more when you are away from church or when you’re in church?
11.
Do you ever tell God that you love Him?
12.
Are you the same person away from church as you are when you’re in church?
Ask
God to show you the correct answers and if something needs to change in your
life. “But the goal of our
instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere
faith” (1 Timothy 1:5).
