Mental worship...
1. How often do you feel connected to the bigness of the Story God is telling?
2. Do you most often use your imperfection as an excuse or your perfection in
Christ as an explanation?
3. How does the doctrine of original sin help you explain the state of the world, a
person’s need for the redemption that is found only in Christ and the doctrine of
the virgin birth?
4. Do you ever confuse the “then” and the “now” of the Christian life?
5. Have you developed enough character to be a hopeful person?
