Read Slowly and Think

In a recent young people's service, the leader, in her remarks, read the following questions. I do not know the author of them, but they impressed me as being very practical.

"Does my life please God? "Am I studying the Bible daily? "Am I enjoying my Christian life? "Is there any one I can not forgive? "Have I ever won a soul to Christ? "How much time do I spend in prayer? "Am I trying to bring my friends to Christ? "Have I ever had a direct answer to prayer? "Is there anything I can not give up for Christ?

"Just where am I making my greatest mistake? "How does my life look to others who are not Christians? "How many things do I put before my religious duties? "Have I ever tried giving one tenth of my income to the Lord? "Am I doing anything I would condemn in others?"

I believe this would be a good list to cut out and place in our Bibles for frequent reference, especially for young people.—Selected.
