A few months ago I read an old article by A.W. Pink titled The Scripture and the World. It was a good article to say the least and I took a bunch of notes. But toward the end of the article there was a thought provoking list of questions. I thought I'd share them here:
1. What are the objects of your mind in times of recreation? What do your thoughts most run upon?
2. What are the objects of your choice? When you have to decide how to spend an evening or a Sabbath afternoon, what do you select?
3. Which occasions do you most sorrow: The loss of earthly things or the lack of communion with God? Which causes greater grief or chagrin: The spoiling of your plans or the coldness of your heart to Christ?
4. What is your favorite topic of conversation? Do you hanker for the news of the day or to meet with those who talk of the "Altogether Lovely" One?
5. Do your good intentions materialize or are they nothing but empty dreams? Are you spending more or less time than formerly on your knees? Is the Word sweeter to your taste or has your soul lost it's relish for it?
What do you think?
