Written by John Wesley

These are the 22 questions the members of John Wesley’s Holy Club asked themselves each 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 every day?

*Am I enjoying prayer?

*When did I last speak to someone else of 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 Pharisee 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?


...this was passed along to me and thought I would share it. I asked myself these questions and went 'ouch' to many of them. But that's good, that means I have a conscience and the Holy Spirit is still within me, molding and shaping me to be more like Yahweh. Once we get more ink for the printer, I will definitely be printing this off, maybe even framing it to put on the wall as a gentle reminder. =)
