Wednesday Fast Initiative
A challenge for Lent
These are 22 questions the members of John Wesley’s Holy Club asked themselves every day in their private devotions over 200 years ago.
-
Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I am better than I really am? In other words, am I a hypocrite?
-
Am I honest in all my acts and words, or do I exaggerate?
-
Do I confidentially pass on to another what was told to me in confidence?
-
Can I be trusted?
-
Am I a slave to dress, friends, work, or habits?
-
Am I self-conscious, self-pitying, or self-justifying?
-
Did the Bible live in me today?
-
Do I give it time to speak to me everyday?
-
Am I enjoying prayer?
-
When did I last speak to someone else about my faith?
-
Do I pray about the money I spend?
-
Do I get to bed on time and get up on time?
-
Do I disobey God in anything?
-
Do I insist upon doing something about which my conscience is uneasy?
-
Am I defeated in any part of my life?
-
Am I jealous, impure, critical, irritable, touchy, or distrustful?
-
How do I spend my spare time?
-
Am I proud?
-
Do I thank God that I am not as other people, especially as the Pharisees who despised the publican?
-
Is there anyone whom I fear, dislike, disown, criticize, hold a resentment toward or disregard? If so, what am I doing about it?
-
Do I grumble or complain constantly?
-
Is Christ real to me?
