amplify your Ri #8 - questions

I was just catching up on some reading, and found a really great set of questions in a blog by Todd Hahn.  He was speaking about the Kingdom of God being evident in your life, and then asked these questions.  I thought they went right along with what we have been talking about for the last few weeks in our series on Relational Intelligence. 

• Is your life characterized by a God- and others- focus or are you mostly thinking about your own interests?
• Are you known as a complainer and arguer or are you someone who is guaranteed to leave others more encouraged than when you found them?
• Is your speech characterized by affirmation or criticism?
• Are you devoting substantial portions of your resources to what God is doing through the church, particularly in caring for the less fortunate?
• Do those in positions of power know that they can count on your integrity and followership but also know that you won't be silent if they practice injustice or take advantage of others?
• Is your gut instinct compassion or judgment?
• Does your heart flutter and your blood race a little faster when you think about what God is up to in and through your church in spite of its imperfections (and ALL of our churches are imperfect!)

Take the time to really dig down with these questions today.  Which one really spoke to you?  Which one do you feel you want to spend more time thinking about?
