10 Questions

I appreciate Donald Whitney’s book, Ten Questions To Diagnose Your Spiritual Health. The chapter titles can serve as vital, probing questions to be asked of any Christ-follower (individually) or any fellowship of believers (collectively): it's a way of taking your spiritual temperature.

  1. Do You Thirst for God?
  2. Are You Governed Increasingly by God’s Word?
  3. Are You More Loving?
  4. Are You More Sensitive to God’s Presence?
  5. Do You Have a Growing Concern for the Spiritual and Temporal Needs of Others?
  6. Do You Delight in the Bride of Christ?
  7. Are the Spiritual Disciplines of the Christian Life Increasingly Important to You?
  8. Do You Still Grieve Over Sin?
  9. Are You a Quicker Forgiver?
  10. Do You Yearn for Heaven and to Be With Jesus?
