Twenty One Questions by John Wesley

Awhile back I came across these questions. Thought provoking.

1. Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I am better than I really am? In other words, am I a hypocrite?
2. Am I honest in all my acts and words, or do I exaggerate?
3. Do I confidentially pass on to another what was told to me in confidence?
4. Can I be trusted?
5. Am I am a slave to dress, friends, work or habits?
6. Am I self-conscious, self-pitying, or self-justifying?
7. Did the Bible live in me today?
8. Do I give it time to speak to me every day?
9. Am I enjoying prayer?
10. When did I last speak to someone else of my faith?
11. Do I pray about the money I spend?
12. Do I get to bed on time and get up on time?
13. Do I disobey God in anything?
14. Do I insist upon doing something about which my conscience is uneasy?
15. Am I defeated in any part of my life?
16. How do I spend my spare time?
17. Am I proud?
18. Do I thank God that I am not as other people?
19. Is there anyone I fear, dislike, disown, criticize, hold a resentment toward or disregard? If so what am I doing about It?
20. Do I grumble or complain constantly?
21. Is Christ Real to me?

Jeannie:

You don't know me. I just "happened" on your blog since I was trying to find a verse to an old hymn that I knew, sang, and loved years ago. So I googled a phrase and was led to your blog entry of November 18, 2007, where you quoted all verses. If you would like to read what I did with the verse, you could log onto my blog at: http//miltolsen.spaces.live.com
Thanks for writing what you did back in November of last year.

Gratefully,

Milt
